London: Shocking images of a woman in a hijab being attacked from behind and beaten unconscious reveal the reality of an increase in hate crime in London.

 The footage, shot in Plaistow, is just one example of Islamophobic attacks in the capital which Scotland Yard says almost doubled in the 12 months to June, from 406 to 800.
The woman is struck viciously from behind, knocking her unconscious
Victims say the true scale of hate crime is masked by under-reporting with people often too scared to go to police.
Student Meanha Begum, 18, who wears a full veil and lives in Tower Hamlets, said: “I know young Muslim women that have been attacked but they are too scared to go to the police about it.” She and a friend were attacked in the street by a woman carrying a knife who pulled down her face veil and pushed her to the floor.

        
Sahina Khan, 31, tells: “I was walking to work and this man came towards me. I thought he was going to punch me. It’s like he saw me and he just went mad.
“He said something about ‘killing Christians in the Middle East’ or ‘your people killing Christians in the Middle East’ and he was just ranting at me.”
Victims also warn that Islamophobic attacks are making young Muslims vulnerable to extremist recruiters trying to lure people to fight in the Middle East.
Ayesha, 21, from Kensington, revealed how two women approached her in an online chat room before bombarding her with phone calls and text messages, telling her Britain hates her and promising her a husband abroad. She was repeatedly targeted by extremists in an 18-month campaign after they said she would “never find peace in Britain”.

Stretching Feet Facing the Kabah: Allowed?

Q uestions: As-salamu `alaykum. Is it wrong to sit or sleep with your feet facing the east or facing the Kabah A nswer: In his response to your question, Sheikh Ahmad Kutty, a senior lecturer and Islamic scholar at the Islamic Institute of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, states: If a person is sitting stretching his feet towards the direction of the Kabah with the specific intention of showing disrespect, then that is definitely considered a blasphemous act and a grave sin, for at all times we are ordered to respect the symbols of Allah. The Kabah, being the House of Allah, is worthy of utmost reverence. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “O Allah! Enhance the honor, status and awe of this House in the minds of those who visit or go around it.” Allah says, “Whosoever respects the symbols of Allah, he does so only by virtue of the piety embedded in their hearts.”(Al-Hajj 22:32) Having said this, however, I should further state: If a person does no...
