The number of anti-Muslim incidents in Britain reached a new high in 2024, with 5,837 cases reported, according to monitoring organization Tell MAMA. The surge in hate incidents has been attributed to the war in Gaza, which 'super-fueled' online hate. The organization's data goes back to 2012 and is compiled using data-sharing agreements with police forces. The surge in anti-Muslim hate has also been linked to the killing of three young girls in Southport, leading to racist riots and false reports on social media.
