The 3 April has been dubbed ‘Punish a Muslim Day’ by extremists.
The Met has insisted “there is no credible information to suggest there is any criminal activity that will take place”, and a number of organisations including Tell MAMA, as well as people online, are using the hashtag ‘#WeStandTogether to show solidarity with Muslims.
For those who do witness Islamophobia, there’s a number of things you can do.
Marie-Shirine Yener, a 22-year-old Parisian illustrator, created a guide to give people advice on how they can help Muslims who are being harassed.
She based her strategy on "non-complementary behaviour" – a concept in psychology which aims to disrupt an oppressive connection a potential attacker is attempting to establish with the target.
1. Talk to the victim, ignore the attacker.
2. Talk about something random.
Continue to engage the Muslim man/woman in conversation, building a safe space as you ignore the attacker.
Stay with them until the attacker leaves, and escort them to a neutral area.
indy100 caught up with the artist, who goes by the nom de plume "Maeril", to ask about her illustration:
"As a woman who comes from a diverse Muslim background – Iran, Armenia and Turkish/Kurdish – Shirine Yener’s exposure to Islam came from a variety of sources, including her family and her Parisian neighbourhood.
I have witnessed, during the last months and years, the number of hate-motivated actions against Muslims increase rapidly. I felt like I had to try to do something with what I have, and that is drawing and writing."

In other news, I saw 4 white men Islamophobically abusing a woman in a hijab yesterday. I didn't help, I thought 4 of them was enough.
