BBC News article
A motorist deliberately drove into a Somali woman twice in an anti-Muslim attack days after a bomb blast in London, a court heard. Zaynab Hussein was hit by Paul Moore's car in Leicester, moments before he tried to drive at a Somali girl, 12, Nottingham Crown Court was told. Mr. Moore, 21, set out to kill five days after the Parsons Green Tube attack last September, prosecutors said. Mr. Moore denies attempted murder but admits he was the driver. Ms. Hussein was taken to hospital with severe fractures to her pelvis, spine and breaks to her limbs. Comparing this case to the Finsbury Park mosque attack where one man died and nine others injured the defendant said he wanted to kill the labour leader but he unintentionally killed someone and injured nine people within both cases it could be argued that the idea of Islamophobia would have taken place within this two attacks according to
London's Met police recorded 1,260 incidents of Islamophobic hate crime in the 12 months to March 2017 which is an increase since 2016. In my opinion, this is probably an islamophobic crime since he ran over the girl twice and it's unlikely you would run someone over twice unintentionally.
