A study on the sources of hate speech on Twitter said that 86% of anti-Muslim content comes from three main countries: America, Britain, and India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the study, conducted by the Islamic Council of Victoria, Australia, nearly four million anti-Muslim posts were published in the 24 months between 2017 and 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the study, the council said that India alone produced half of this “harmful and hateful” content, according to the Turkish TRT website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figures say more than 55 percent of anti-Muslim rhetoric on Twitter came from India, amid activity from the BJP in deepening hatred against Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last year, the opposition in the Indian state of Assam criticized the state’s chief minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, for making racist remarks against Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the USA, back in 2017, the official account of US President Donald Trump on “Twitter” republished a series of tweets containing offensive videos of Muslims, which were posted by the deputy head of the British far-right movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the United Kingdom, researchers said that the spread of anti-Muslim tweets depends on several factors, most notably Britain’s exit from the European Union, former Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s racist rhetoric, and anti-immigration sentiment caused by the refugee crisis.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
