Whilst letters of hatred attempting to coin 3rd April as “Punish a Muslim Day” were spread, people from across the UK came together on that very day to support Muslims.
Stand Up To Racism, a campaign group worked alongside Muslim groups, mosques, as well as other community and faith groups to arrange a “Day of Solidarity”, and had over 20 events scheduled throughout the country.
London had eight events to encourage Britons to say “No to Islamophobia”, including regions such as Haringey, Islington and Lewisham.
Love A Muslim Day were also planned in Leeds, Wakefield, Sheffield, Nottingham and Bradford.
People gathered at the steps of the Town Hall in Islington to hear speeches from Councillors at the “Respect a Muslim” rally.
