The funding cut, effective at the end of this month, leaves the organization facing potential closure without an alternative service in place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fiyaz Mughal, Tell Mama&#8217;s founder, criticized the government&#8217;s decision, highlighting the growing influence of far-right groups across Europe. He expressed concern that the withdrawal would leave many victims without support, stating, \u201cThis is an injustice at a time where I have never seen anti-Muslim rhetoric become so mainstream.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"505\" height=\"325\" src=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-12-121619.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-120485\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-12-121619.png 505w, https:\/\/shiawaves.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/03\/Screenshot-2025-03-12-121619-300x193.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 505px) 100vw, 505px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Official police data reveals a record increase in religiously motivated hate crimes, with Muslims constituting 38% of all reported incidents. The rise in anti-Muslim sentiment has been exacerbated by online abuse, particularly since October 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mughal questioned the Labour government&#8217;s commitment to tackling Islamophobia, noting the disparity between their rhetoric and actions. Despite the establishment of a new working group on anti-Muslim hatred, the funding cut raises serious doubts about the government\u2019s dedication to supporting affected communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government has yet to clarify the rationale behind the funding cut or provide information on future support, leaving many in the community anxious about the loss of vital resources.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With anti-Muslim hate crimes soaring by 165% since the onset of the Israel-Palestine conflict, concerns are mounting among British Muslim communities following the UK government&#8217;s decision to withdraw funding from Tell Mama, a key organization monitoring Islamophobia, Middle East Monitor reported.
