Letter called for day of violent action against Muslims. Instead, people have responded with love, solidarity and a helpline
Communities across the UK have been responding to the violent threats contained in a letter promising that 3 April would be “Punish A Muslim Day”.
The phrase was coined in an anonymous letter distributed to some homes and businesses in early March, with recipients in east London, the Midlands and Yorkshire. The letter suggested people could win “points” for a range of activities aimed at Muslims, including removing a head-scarf from a woman or beating up a Muslim. Muslim MPs were also sent the letter.
3rd of April has been planned as a "PunishAMuslimDay" To help our community feel safe, we have organised the #ProtectAMuslimDay initiative. We have organised volunteers from around the UK to help you if you feel unsafe on the day, call: 07985606148 or 07985601849. More info pic.twitter.com/XbzWd9qMC5
