In Britain, "extreme right-wing thugs" organized pogroms against Muslims and black people across the country - black passers-by were beaten, mosques were attacked. It was caused by a non-Muslim black teenager born in Britain who attacked children with a knife. The country's prime minister promised to bring the thugs to justice.

Salman Sayyid, a professor at the University of Leeds, said that the anti-Muslim protests across Britain were the product of Islamophobic propaganda. However, he said, despite decades of campaigning, Muslims, non-Muslims, people of all races, leftists and all anti-racism pogroms have been silenced by demonstrations.

Blake Hindry, 30, in Kent, UK, called a mosque in London from an unknown number saying he was going to burn down the mosque and kill its imam. It turned out that he made threatening calls to four other mosques in London. The man pleaded guilty in court and was imprisoned for 2 years and 6 months.
