| Following the terrorist attacks across America on 11 September 2001, there has been an increase in anti-Muslim feeling across Europe, the USA and Australia. Attacks, both verbal and physical have been reported to the Islamic Human Rights Commission. The treatment ranges from being spat at, forcibly having the hijaab removed, harassment of young children at school, and death threats etc. - Report the crime to your local polic station immediately. Ask that the incident be treated as a hate crime. If a satisfactory response is not received from the police, contact one of the organisations below. - Mobilize community support. Inform a local mosque or one of the below organisations even if you believe it is a _small_ incident. - Document the incident. Write down exactly what was said and/or done by the offender. Save evidence. Take photographs. - Act quickly. Each incident must be dealth with when it happens, not when convenient - Decide on the appropriate action to be taken. Consider issuing a statement from community leaders, holding a news conference, organizing a protest, meeting with officials, or starting a letter writing campaign. - Stay on top of the situation. - Announce results. When the incident is resolved, make an announcement to the same people and organizations orginally contacted.
