This was a hate crime and the attack was no doubt a symptom of Islamophobia.\n\nThe victim herself has confirmed the Islamophobic nature of the attack and it\u2019s fair we do the same. This wasn\u2019t just a random incident, the attacker clearly approached a group of women who were visibly Muslim and as sources confirm, proceeded to hurl hate-filled Islamophobic slurs before unleashing his violent rampage.\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Frana.haidar.5%2Fposts%2F10220329119759358&amp;width=500\" width=\"500\" height=\"268\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n\nHate crimes against Muslims in Australia are on the rise and the statistics continue to prove that this is the case. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islamophobia.com.au\/\">report released just this week<\/a> by an Australian University confirms this, with a staggering 70% of Islamophobic incidents being carried out against Muslim women wearing the Hijab.\n\nNow while much can be said against the attacker, I think it\u2019s only fair we also hold to account the reckless media outlets and politicians who have helped create the climate of Islamophobia we are experiencing. We remind you that your words do have real-world implications and as we\u2019ve just seen, the consequences can be brutal.\n\nWe call upon the Government to do their part in stopping the spread of Islamophobia to help keep our communities safe. We call upon the Government to introduce laws to protect us from vilification and the incitement of hatred and violence based on a person&#8217;s religion. This matter must be given urgent priority by our lawmakers.\n\nTo the Muslim Community, and those affected by the incident, please do not let this incident daunt you or make you feel threatened in your own country. This is your home, and while we don\u2019t want you to feel paranoid or fearful, we advise you to still please exercise caution given the unfortunate circumstances we live in.\n\nIf you are going out to public places where you could be vulnerable, try your best to travel with family members or in groups. Always take your safety into consideration when travelling and be mindful of your surroundings.\n\nAlso, if you happen to be a bystander in such an incident, we encourage you to get involved. Don\u2019t hesitate to do what you can within your means, to stop such a vicious attack from taking place, even if it means simply speaking out.\n\nLastly, we send a warm thank you and word of praise to those who bravely intervened in this incident to help our sister. We make particular mention of the brave Muslim sister who hit the attacker with a chair knocking him out. May Allah reward you. Had it not been for your bravery it surely could have been much worse.\n\nNow, If you have or know anyone who has been a victim of such an attack, please do not hesitate to approach the authorities and report such crimes.\n\nWe ask Allah to heal our sister and to provide comfort to all those affected. May Allah bring peace to our society and restore safety within our communities.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pregnant Muslim woman attacked at Sydney cafe A heavily pregnant Muslim woman was brutally attacked at a Sydney Cafe.
