Hawzah News Agency (London, UK) - Shabbir Rahmatullah Hassanally made remarks while discussing a horrific hate crime against a British Muslim woman.

"The issue of Islamophobia in England and the Europe—and the West as a whole—is something which is a manufactured phenomenon," Hassanally said, adding that "It is designed to keep the people in Europe and the West preoccupied with a perceived enemy, i.e. the Muslims".

He noted that the anti-Islamic trend saw a sharp spike after the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York.

"Ultimately what this is, is for creating a bipolar environment in the Western world where anyone who questions the official narratives of 9/11 or other atrocities committed by the neocons and the Zionists is immediately branded who is supporting the terrorists," Hassanally stated.

According to the analyst, terms like Shariah and caliphate were the "buzzwords" that PR companies behind this Islamophobia campaign are using to promote their agenda and foment hatred against Muslims.

Hate crime rates in the UK-- England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland -- have surged by 500 percent following the June vote by 52 percent of Britons to leave the European Union (EU), data by the National Police Chiefs' Council (NPCC) shows.
