Anti-Muslim hate crimes in UK risen threefold since 7 October

There has been a more than threefold increase in anti-Muslim hate cases in the UK since 7 October, according to a monitoring group. 

Tell MAMA, which logs and measures anti-Muslim incidents, said there had been been 2,010 cases of online and offline abuse since war broke out in Gaza. 

The organisation said it was the largest number of cases over a four month period since it had begun recording in 2011. 

It comes just days after the Community Security Trust (CST), a Jewish charity, said there were more than 4,000 antisemitic incidents in the UK last year, an all-time high.
