The funding announcement comes a week after additional funding was announced to improve security for Jewish communities. The new money will be used to protect mosques, Muslim religious schools and other community centers, Sleverly said.
According to the minister, the funds will be allocated to security measures such as alarm, fence and video surveillance cameras. " Hatred against Muslims has absolutely no place in our society, " said the head of the British Home Office.
