When the Southport mosque was targeted by far-right rioters this year, imam Ibrahim Hussein feared for his life. A violent mob descended on the street outside the mosque, hurling stones and shouting: “We want our country back.”
Trapped inside, Hussein received a threatening phone call from an individual involved in the unrest. “They said: ‘Come out, we’re going to kill you, we’re going to burn you,’” Hussein recalled. “We were absolutely terrified.”
