Ever since Britain’s exasperated populace announced its wish to leave the European Union (EU), there seems to have been a blanket approval given to racists to harass, intimidate and scare Muslims and other ethnic minorities in an attempt to put ‘Britain first’. A sizeable increase in attacks against Muslims was reported soon after Brexit occurred, and this increase seems to show no signs of abating anytime soon.
The latest hate-fuelled incident involves a highly offensive and problematic letter put through the letterboxes of individuals in various communities of the country, calling for a “Punish a Muslim Day”. The main ethos of the letter is to instil fear into the Muslim community and make them even more vulnerable to attack through blatant hatemongering.
The letter goes on to elaborate on the ‘points’ people will be awarded for particular actions, all of which are intended to harm Muslims. For instance, verbally abusing a Muslim will garner 10 points, removing a woman’s hijab will achieve 25 points, while throwing acid on a Muslim’s face will get 50 points. It goes on to get much worse, as it lists bombing a mosque as being equivalent to 1,000 points, and culminates in 2,500 points for ‘nuking’ Mecca.

Progressive Muslim view.
Can we follow God’s advice in this case?
“Retaliate evil with love or good deed”
“ love and pray to God those who persecute you”
The extremist Muslim has created Islamophobia growing in UK, Europe and US—since 9/11-2001.
It seems to me that the world is not getting better but worse and worse… we need to reflect !
All our love ❤️
Reflect. If Allah want us to follow the Promised Messiah and Imam Mahdi and we do not follow – the result is what you have noticed. (simple, no?)
