A person abused a
Muslim woman in a shop in London
just because she was wearing a veil.She says that she often faces
Islamophobia, and she filmed this
one situation. People viewed the video well over 100,000 times on the
Internet. Police are now looking for her abuser.
The woman says that
the media shows Islam in a negative one-sided way. The media
should be more careful about what they show because they fuel Islamophobia.
If people took their information from people like her and not just the media,
then they would understand that Muslims are normal people.

In London, people elected the
new mayor, who is a son of a London bus driver and the former human rights lawyer. His name is Sadiq
Khan and he is the first Muslim mayor
of London. With a 13.6% margin, he was the popular winner.
When Khan began to
give his first speech as mayor,
another mayoral candidate turned
his back on him. He probably wanted to protest against Khan because he is a
Muslim. That candidate’s own CV
includes past membership to a neo-Nazi
political party.
However, that
candidate only received 1% of the vote, so we can say that London turned its
back on him first.
