British Muslim Trust

The British Muslim Trust (BMT) serves as the UK government's official partner for monitoring anti-Muslim hatred. The organization has recently released data indicating a significant rise in attacks on mosques across Britain, with an average of one mosque being attacked every five days over the past year. These attacks encompass a range of incidents, including intimidation, violence, property damage, harassment, hate speech, and vandalism. The BMT's work is particularly newsworthy due to these alarming statistics, highlighting the escalating levels of anti-Muslim hate crime in the UK. Akeela Ahmed, head of the BMT, has shared numerous accounts of such incidents, underscoring the urgent relevance of the Trust's role in tracking and addressing anti-Muslim sentiment and its impact on the community.
