Staring at the bottom of your glass,
Hoping one day you’ll make a dream last
But dreams come slow,
and they go so fast.

In the past few days, there have been at least 162 Islamophobic hate attacks in the UK, and nine mosques have been targeted with kives, petrol bombs and graffiti. That’s a 900% increase, according to the tracking group Tell Mama UK. Petrol-bomb attacks on mosques are not reported as terrorism, and nor are individual acts of anti-Muslim violence; we are expected to understand this quasi-organised campaign of fear as something else, as a ‘backlash’.

You don’t need religion to have morals. If you can’t determine right from wrong then you lack empathy, not religion.
