BMT Chief Executive Akeela Ahmed emphasized the urgent need for action against this alarming trend, reflecting a growing anti-Muslim sentiment in the country. The report links the surge to recent nationalist campaigns, highlighting the perception among Muslims that their place in British society is being challenged.
