Post Woolwich, we have highlighted the range of mosque and Islamic institutions that have been targeted for hate activities. A map of the attacks can be found here. Just recently, a home-made device was found in a Walsall mosque. Additionally a few days ago, a 75 year old man was arrested and is currently on bail.

Yet, after all of these events that have no doubt raised community tensions, we still come across individuals who want to broadcast their dark desires to attack mosques. Here is one example of someone who broadcast his views to 113 followers on his Twitter address:

We are seeing more and more people feeling confident enough to make such threats on-line. What is concerning is that this brazen open prejudice seems to be acceptable, so much so, that they decide to broadcast it over Twitter.
