In the United Kingdom, Islam is the second largest religious, and between 2001 and 2009 was the highest growth religious. Even though there was increase in Muslim over the years, they still share the same fate of discrimination, similar to the Muslims in the United States. “The majority of British Muslims say they have witnessed discrimination against followers of the Islamic faith and that a climate of hate is being driven by politicians and media, a study has found,” (Dodd). According to the research, 6 out of 10 Muslims in United Kingdom were surveyed by the Islamic Human Rights Commission in 2010, which they had seen an increase Islamophobia.

The explosives killed fifty-two people, which was the worst single terrorist attack on British soil, and had planned by extremist Islamists. Another terrorist attack had happened in Paris, when 129 were killed and 300 others were injured, and some Muslims in the United Kingdom are paying the price. This terrorist attack only made the image worst for British Muslims, since everyone who hasn’t been following Islam had became more hatred toward the religious, because there has been an increase in hate crimes. “Muslim girls and women aged 14 to 45 bore the brunt of the recent hate crimes, which were perpetrated largely by white males aged 15 to 35. And women wearing the hijab — a headscarf worn by many observant Muslims — were more likely than others to be attacked,” (Johnson). Once again, these crimes are against article eighteen in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, because everyone should have the right to express their religious. Other research had shown that there has been 70 percent increase from 2014, where Muslims are being attacked in public places, and the United Kingdom has made it a law to report any signs of terrorism. “The crimes included leaving severed pig heads on the doorsteps of mosques, scrawling epithets on their walls, and, in one incident, even firebombing a mosque with grenades,” …show more content…
There have been many terrorist attacks in the United Kingdom, which was carried out by non-Muslims, but hasn’t got the wide spread attention. Corresponding the terrorist attacks that were carried out by non-Muslims in United States, the United Kingdom had eight terrorist attacks by non-muslims within the last decade. In 2001, there was a bombing attack in London, which was carried out by an Irish hate group. “Police say a bomb which exploded outside the BBC's main news centre in London was the work of an Irish dissident group,” (Dodd). Many United Kingdom citizens had forgotten these attacks, because the focus has been shifted toward Muslims, since the media portrays them as violent people worldwide. The reason for the Irish hate group to attacked London was due for a political reasons, and not once was religious was mention in any articles, and many Irish descents weren’t discriminated as much as Muslims. These findings are extremely disappointing, since Islam is the second largest religious, yet United Kingdom fails to eliminate the discrimination of muslims. There was no proven evidence in the research to show a decrease of acts of hatred or racism toward British
