As the UK Government prepares to record religious hate crimes against Muslims separately, due to a massive rise in recorded incidents, some human rights activists are arguing that the Government is missing a major phenomenon, possibly due to political correctness: religious hate crimes committed by Muslims.
Crimes especially against those who have converted from Islam, or against non-Muslims who are from predominantly Islamic ethnicities. For many, particularly Christians who are a minority in their own ethnicities, their experience of religious hate in the UK is a continuous one, in some cases approaching the level of persecution in their ‘mother’ countries.
However, it also affects people born and brought up in the UK.
