The Prime Minister, who has been criticised for being slow to meet victims of previous incidents, was on the scene quickly this time, including attending a local multi faith meeting. The terrible Terrorist Attack that took place last night was an Evil Act For Out Of Hatred and it has devastated community. Am pleased to be here today to see the strength of that Community Coming together, all faiths united in one desire, to see extremism and hatred of all source driven out of our society. Earlier today the labour Leaderjeremy Corbyn also visited the area. It lies in his constituency. The Stress Levels we have met already of people who are out and buy this morning, they are frightened that Something Like this will happen again and we need efficient and effective policing. We also need an attitude in our society of support for each other. The only way to deal with this kind of issue is communities coming together. Mr corbyn went on to join Community Leaders in a Moment Of Silence following this attack. An attack on one faith is an attack on all faiths and communities. Those who tried to divide us and who aim to spread fear, hatred and division will not succeed. The area remained sealed off as the Police Investigation continues. Already there are plans to increase security around all londons mosques, particularly during the remainder of the muslim holy month of ramadan. Towards the end of the month it is a very pious pa rt end of the month it is a very pious part of the month and more and more worshippers go to the mosque, particularly in the evening. We do not want people to think they can go about their lives because they feel vulnerable. But even before this attack in Finsbury Park the Muslim Community was fearful. Incidence of islam phobia have been on the rise following recent attacks in britain by islamist extremists. And now muslims here have been targeted in the most brutal of ways. There is anger in Finsbury Park and fear about future attacks and the mayor of london has been here ensuring people that they will be increased Police Patrols in the city. We can speak now to the former world boxing champion amir khan. You said you were fearful after the recent Terrorist Attacks in manchester and london that they might Bea Manchester and london that they might be a backlash against the Muslim Community. Yes, definitely with everything going on. With the manchester bombings, the things that happened at London Bridge. The british and the english are going to be really frustrated. This is like revenge. If this keeps coming on, so many innocent people will keep getting killed and dying and we need to stop this. If there is anyone who you think is going to do anything like this, tell the police and the local community. Do you believe what a lot of people in the Muslim Community have been saying, a rising tide of islam phobia in the last few weeks, especially, but before that in the last few years . Yes, the last few years have been tough and difficult for muslims and there is a Lwa Ys Difficult for muslims and there is always a handful of people and a lot of people myself like to be a role model to muslims and do positive things. That is one of the reasons i think this is an act of revenge over what happened at the mask the other day. These are people who have just finished their prayers that night and they are going home to start their fast and they got run over by a car. One person died and ten were injured, but all the communities need to get together. We need to get together and fix these problems. There is anger here in Finsbury Park where we are after. Attack. What there is anger here in Finsbury Park where we sayafter. Attack. What there is anger here in Finsbury Park where we sayifs beeeietti the what it is the of community . It is the month of ramadan and a very holy month for muslims and we need to stick together and be strong and be very patient. We cannot now go out there and say we are looking for revenge and say we are looking for revenge and we are going to do this and that. The local community has to support the people whose families are suffering. We have to stick together and make sure that they stick together really. They are in a position where they might want revenge themselves and it will keep on snowballing. Somebody else will do something else. We have to get it to stop really. Amir khan, very good to stop really. Amir khan, very good to talk to you. Amir khan, very good to talk to you. Lets speak to Muhbeen Hussain from british muslim youth. You were here last night i know. How worried are you about islamaphobia being on the rise here and across the country . We faced an attack in manchester and one on London Bridge and in Borough Market and the tragedy that took place in Grenfell Tower. When i heard about this i said, not again. When i came here last night a couple of hours after the attack had taken place and i spoke to many witnesses and there we re spoke to many witnesses and there were high emotions and people were traumatised and frustrated because the reporting was not saying what they had seen. They felt real stuff on the ground and there were real height emotions here. And we know the local imam was restraining people who had been punching and beating the attacker after they dragged him out of the van. I was just asking amir khan what is the message to the community here who, as you say, are frustrated with emotions running high . We have to look at this twofold. First we need to ta ke look at this twofold. First we need to take far right extremism seriously. I do not think the government has taken it seriously. It is a shame that it has taken an attack like this for theresa may and the government to realise the ramifications of it. People are thinking that this all started with the murder ofjoe cox. People never heard of muhammad salim. And the same time every type of extremism, islamist extremism or far right extremism, they want to divide us. This was very frustrated attack by this individual. He felt frustrated by our unity this individual. He felt frustrated by ourunity and this individual. He felt frustrated by our unity and have shown real democracy and our british spirit. When the going gets tough, we get tougher. That is who we are. The antidote to all of this is to call it out and to come together as communities and say no. Very good to talk to you. A powerful message. As we we re talk to you. A powerful message. As we were saying, the Muslim Community have been worried about the growing tide of islamaphobia recently. The mayor of london has been here promising extra pleasing especially to reassure muslim communities not only here in Finsbury Park but right across the capital. Prayers on the streets outside Finsbury Park mosque, just a couple of hours after the attack. A public practice of faith from a Community Feeling vulnerable. During the morning, the mosque was surrounded by police and others here to reassure. But there is deep frustration and some fear. No one feels safe. We cannot go to the mosque without looking behind our backs. We have to look behind our backs to practise our religion. We are living in fear. Many share that sentiment from across all communities that there is a general sense of insecurity. That feeling is hard to shake off. People have a question about safety in london after all of these attacks. We want to assure them they are safe. We want to welcome the police at the moment. Every London Borough has increased policing today. Leave has been cancelled in many areas. They are visible and they are there to help and support full it is a time when every Emergency Services under enormous pressure. We are concerned about everybody. Londoners have been hit with a series of attacks and have been nothing short of heroic. We will always make sure everybody is protected. We have a places of worship fund which we announced last summer, which is there to protect places of worship like mosques. We will do all we can to reduce these attacks. The incident last night was directed at one community. A mosque and muslim men and women during ramadan. Some believe the violence of the attack will expose the increased targeting of muslims. The rise in hate crime against muslims have been underreported, under understood, and not dealt with in the same way as bigotry against other communities. Hopefully, this will mean that action will be taken to tackle hate crime and the rise in hate crime against muslims which has been taking place over recent years and has reached a really worrying situation yesterday. As with all shocking attacks of this kind, the Community Response is a mix of anger and upset, alongside unity and defiance. Hopefully, this will mean that action will be taken what everyone now wants is reassurance and a feeling of safety during these are very difficult times. Yvette cooper now joins Yvette Cooper nowjoins us. What are your thoughts about this third Terrorist Attack in as little months. This is an attack on british muslims, but it was an attack on london, on britain, on all of us. It shows again why we have to stand firm against terrorism and extremism and violent hatred wherever it comes from, whether it is from far right extremism, whether it is from islamaphobia or islamist extremism. The Home Affairs Select committee has warned about the importance of challenging all kinds of extremism and terrorism and that is what everybody will be determined to do now. A lot of people i have been talking to throughout the day, members of the Muslim Community, say there has been a rising tide of islamaphobia and hate crime for a long time now, particularly in recent weeks, and not enough has been done to tackle it. Would you agree . Yes, i agree with that. In london alone hate crime has gone up in the past few months and across the country as well. We know there are times when it can increase and there is a lot of good work being done by Community Organisations in order to report it and identify it. The evidence that we took and that which the select Committee Found is that we are also getting islamaphobia in schools and that is deeply troubling for children to be exposed to that and far much more needs to be done in schools to challenge it. But we are seeing it in the media, in public debate too often were much greater responsibility is needed, and also on social media were still today you can find on social media were still today you canfind on on social media were still today you can find on youtube the propaganda videos from a band neo nazi organisations even though they have been reported to google and youtube many times. That vile propaganda is still up there and is still their online. Those social media giants need to do more to take it down or they need to be fined, challenge or penalised if they are not going to do so. Yvette cooper, thank you so much. Ijust do so. Yvette cooper, thank you so much. I just want to show you the police seem, the police cordon, were it happen. You can see the many flowers that have been left here.
