Title: Hate Crimes against Vailed Muslim women in public places: United Kingdom and United States of America. (Only use this as a Title. NOTHING else, do not change or reword)

THE CASES I want to LOOK AT:
1. UK: Yoshiyuki Shinohara pushes woman into Tube train https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3316787/Shocking-moment-man-push-Muslim-woman-wearing-hijab-oncoming-train-London-s-underground.html

2. US: Muslim UC student says she was called a terrorist near campus https://www.fox19.com/story/30591342/muslim-uc-student-says-she-was-called-a-terrorist-near-campus

** Refer to the Gridline attachment: Can add multiple case studies or change this two if its best and as long as it is within the subject area and looking at both UK and US.
IT IS A 2 PART CASE STUDY

To be included in the discussion
• Main Victims Women dressed in vail as their religious identity is obvious…
• Demonization of Muslims by the media, politicians, scholars…
• Donald Trump’s ideologies / Rose Hamid, a 56-year-old flight attendant who stood up during a Donald Trump rally and was escorted out. Promotes segregation, division, discrimination…
• Physical abuse against British and American Muslim communities is becoming common…
• Gendered dimensions: Veil as sign of inequality for women but also a sign of faith therefore they can easily be victimised as it will be hard for them to deny or hide their faith…
• Islamophobia is a form of hate crime. Hate crime has increased significantly both in the UK and the US. Could it be due to Islamophobia? Or is it a number of specific hate crimes such as homophobia which have contributed greatly?
• Mention this case (link below) very very briefly to stress the fact that it’s not just vailed Muslim women who are being attacked but men and boys too and (also places of worship such as mosques…) bigger picture, bigger problem
