MUSLIM COMMUNITIES AND HATE CRIME:
Communities Inc wins award for faith and hate crime resource
Recent reports from the Home Office show an increase in hate crime of 5% overall and over 45% for faith
motivated hate crime over a 12 month period meaning it is the fastest growing category of the 5 nationally
monitored strands. The majority of faith based hate crime (50%) is against people who are or are perceived
to be Muslim fuelled by misinformation and global stereotypes about ‘extremists’ or ‘terrorists’. This can take
the form of vandalism of places of worship, offensive graffiti in
public places, circulation of misleading information as well as
attacks and abuse aimed at individuals.
Faith groups, especially Islamic faith or community
organisations, therefore have a key role to play in raising
awareness of hate crime as well as providing support to victims
and challenging the stereotypes that motivate perpetrators.
Faith groups have strong links to their communities, are trusted
and have wide networks to bring to this work.
Communities Inc. have produced a guide for faith groups
and hate crime which is available on our website, see Members of the community and the
Police at a recent Communities Inc. event
