Just Like Us ambassador Maryam Khan reflects on the Islamophobia and anti-South Asian racism which have culminated in far right violence across the UK.
WORDS BY MARYAM KHAN The televised scenes of destruction and burning mosques, alongside the distraught families and communities in their wake, are leaving me feeling devastated.
The Muslim communities targeted in small Northern towns mirror those in my home of East London, and imagining their destruction is filling me with profound dismay.
I can’t help but think that my community could be next. The images of innocent elderly men standing amidst the ruins on the news are truly impactful.
