Birmingham, England Haniya Aadams wasn't always a Muslim. She grew up in a Sikh household in central England and converted to Islam a decade ago, at the age of 25.
Since then, she has chosen to wear a niqab. So she knows about what it's like to be treated differently."If I compare my life to what it was before, yes, I think there is a prejudice against Muslims ... People are reluctant to speak to women like me, especially a niqab, because of the stereotype that maybe we're extremist, that we're oppressed, that we can't speak English," Aadams told CNN.
— Rowaida Abdelaziz March 9, 2018 Muslim worshipers were targeted in a June 2017 attack when a van plowed into a group of pedestrians who had attended late-night prayers at London's Finsbury Park Mosque, killing one man and injuring 11 people. Mosques nationally have been attacked and set on fire. Official statistics back up anecdotal evidence.
