It's obvious to point out attacks against Muslims get ignored - but still needs repeatedly calling out.
An Antisemitic attack should be reported and action taken.
But where is the same media outrage, cobra meetings and calling of national emergency when 5 Muslims are attacked?
Let's be very clear that vicious anti Muslim hatred by politicians and their trillionaire mate @elonmusk create the conditions for this kind of vile attack.
Sending huge solidarity to the Muslim community in Edinburgh and beyond.
🚨 BREAKING: A 36-year-old white Scottish man is being investigated by Counter Terrorism Police after five people were stabbed in Edinburgh
He said after his arrest: "I'm protecting the country from these fucking Muslim bastards raping our young daughters"
This is so heartbreaking; He's just a kid. The pain in his voice is evident.
This is institutional racism in action.
Daryl McLune, 16 at the time, was arrested in Wandsworth in July 2021 on suspicion of attempted murder after his mum, Annette McLune, jumped from the roof of their flat in a suicide attempt.
He'd been at his grandma's and cycled home to find his mum critically injured. He was then handcuffed in the street and held for nearly 24 hours, despite not being involved.
Police later found a suicide note and razor blades showing it was self-harm, and he was released without charge. The experience left him with PTSD and affected his schooling.
He later sued the Met Police, and a jury found he was racially discriminated against and treated less fairly than a non-Black boy would have been, awarding him £130,000.
His barrister said it wasn't careful policing, it was a child in crisis being wrongly treated as a suspect, and that discrimination can be unconscious.
