Statement from the Muslim Council of Britain, 19 September 2018
“We are appalled at the hit-and-run incident where a car has swerved onto the pavement and into a crowd of Muslims outside the Hussaini Association in Cricklewood, seriously injuring 3 people. Islamophobic insults apparently including, for example, “Muslim terrorist” were hurled at volunteers of the mosque, and the hate crime aspect of the collision is being looked at by the police as an aggravating factor. Our prayers are with those who have been injured and all those affected, and we urge anyone who has any information about the incident, to contact the police”.
