MCB welcomes the Prime Minister’s announcement today following his visit to Peacehaven Mosque of a £10m pledge commitment to protecting Muslim communities and mosques following the rise of anti-Muslim hate attacks.
“The boost to the Protective Security for Mosques Scheme is long overdue and welcome following today’s visit to Peacehaven Mosque. However, the Government also still appears to have its head in the sand about what is driving this onslaught of hostility and Islamophobic attacks towards British Muslims. For as long as we are treating the symptoms, and not the causes, minoritised faith communities will continue to live in the shadow of such hate.”
– Dr Naomi Green, Assistant Secretary General of the Muslim Council of Britain
