UK: Islamic Organizations Describe Running Over of Hijab-Wearing
\nWoman in London as Deliberate Islamophobic Attack<\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

British
\nIslamic civil society organizations have announced that the incident in which a
\nhijab-wearing woman was run over in east London constitutes a deliberate
\nIslamophobic attack.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nincident occurred on March 8 on Harrow Manorway, when a car struck the woman
\njust after she had exited her vehicle, which she had parked on the side of the
\nroad, according to British media reports.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

British
\nIslamic organizations stated that the woman may have been targeted because she
\nwas wearing a hijab, considering the incident as an indicator of the rising
\nhate crimes against Muslims in the UK.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The
\nMuslim Social Justice Initiative said in a statement:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

“The
\nMuslim woman has now become a visible target for attempted murder, and mosques
\nand Muslims in the UK are being targeted during Ramadan.”<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The Tell
\nMAMA observatory for anti-Muslim hate crimes also described the incident in a
\npost on X as a deliberate attack on a Muslim woman.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Surveillance
\nfootage showed the driver intentionally moving toward the woman before fleeing
\nthe scene at speed. Bystanders quickly came to her aid, and teams from London
\nAmbulance Services provided first aid before transferring her to the hospital.
\nMedia reports confirmed that she is not in life-threatening condition.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

In a
\nstatement, London Metropolitan Police said they are aware that the incident has
\ncaused concern among local residents and confirmed that investigators are
\nworking to identify the suspect and determine the motive behind the attack.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
