Chief Superintendent Dave Stringer, Scotland Yard’s head of community engagement said: “The Met has seen a steady increase in the reporting of all hate crime, particularly racist and religious hate crime. Despite this rise, hate crime is hugely underreported and no one should suffer in silence.”

How does Stringer know that “anti-Muslim hate crime” is “hugely underreported”? For him to know that, such crimes would have to be reported. What he is really doing here is encouraging Muslims to report more “Islamophobic hate crimes”: Scotland Yard wants more, so as to justify the massive resources it is devoting to tracking these crimes.

However, given the astonishing frequency of “anti-Muslim hate crimes” that turn out to have been faked by Muslims, Stringer is likely to get just that: more fakery. Becoming a victim in today’s absurd society brings praise, honor, and monetary rewards, and when such “hate crimes” are exposed as fake, no one cares, so there’s no downside to this fakery. One of the chief advocacy groups claiming that Muslims are being victimized on a large scale in Britain, Tell Mama UK, was exposed years ago as fudging its reports of a wave of “anti-Muslim hate crime” by adding in rude words on the Internet and the like, but it is still a respected organization in the UK, which is, of course, finished.
