After the London blasts, fear has gripped the Muslim communities in different parts of the world, especially in Europe and America.
On July 22, an angry mob in Nottingham, in Britain, beat to death Kamal Raj Bhatt, a Pakistani teenager. Bhatt came to United Kingdom only six weeks before he was mobbed. Reports say that his attackers called him a Taliban. He was pronounced dead when he was taken to the hospital.
A London mosque was also attacked, leaving one person injured.
Muslims’ houses and business establishments in Rome and other cities of Europe were raided. To date, 175 Muslims were arrested in Rome.
The terrorist attacks in London have also created a deep impact in New York. People from different mosques say that they are now living in fear. Many of them have even stopped from coming to mosques.
Last week, angry posters displaying, “Stop Muslim immigrants” were pasted on the walls of a mosque on Brady Avenue in the South Bronx. The Muslim devotees who came to offer prayers removed the posters.
Anwara Sultana, a Bangladeshi Muslim woman in Queens, was waiting for a car to go to Elmhurst Hospital for Kidney Dialysis. Because she was wearing a scarf and a cloth that wrapped her body, she said that she was harassed.
Sultana commented that a white person approached her and said, “Hello, Miss.” When she stopped, the person added, "I hate Muslim people,” while spitting on the ground.
