BBC said:

Of the total religious hate crime offences recorded in the year ending March 2025, 45% targeted Muslims, while 29% targeted Jewish people.

But a breakdown of the "hate crime rate" revealed 106 offences targeted Jewish people per 10,000 population and 12 offences per 10,000 Muslims.

These numbers are shocking - hate crime has no place in our society.

And yet you can still wave your free palestine flag while gesturing to cut the throats of infidels with recourse.

Not so shocking really is it

Quiet thread.

It is shocking that this is on the increase.

Probably not super surprising given antisemitic abuse around Israel/Palestine and riots like Southport and the "save are girls" violence.

You misunderstand

Our resident always outraged son says that to imply that if you are concerned about undocumented males from st hole countries entering the country via small boat then dumped en masse in towns around the country to do as they please 24/7 on our funding with zero intervention from Police

Then you must be thick

Would a heavy influx of "more Muslims" lead to a higher %age of hate crime against them? If hate crime say totalled 100 offences then all of a sudden 50 Muslims turned up ...

"As of 2025, estimates suggest that Muslims will represent approximately 6-8% of the UK’s total population, a figure that has grown steadily over the past few decades. Major urban centers such as London, Birmingham, and Manchester have seen significant increases in Muslim populations due to immigration and higher-than-average birth rates within these communities. In particular, London’s Muslim population is expected to surpass 1 million by 2025, contributing to the growing visibility of Islam across the UK."

"Several factors contribute to this demographic shift. Immigration, both legal and illegal, plays a significant role, as many individuals from Muslim-majority countries have sought refuge in the UK due to ongoing global crises. Additionally, the natural population growth within the Muslim community, driven by higher birth rates, has contributed to this rise. Refugees and asylum seekers from conflict zones, particularly in the Middle East and North Africa, further amplify these demographic changes."

The Muslim population in the UK is projected to be around 13 million people, or about 17.2% of the total population, by 2050 under a "high migration" scenario, according to Pew Research Center projections from 2017.

Under a "zero migration" scenario, this figure would be 6.56 million, or 12.7% of the population

These projections are based on factors like fertility rates and migration patterns and the UK's Muslim population is significantly younger than the average for other demographics.

Thats a lot of racist attacks on 12% of the population if this trend continues.
