Sadly this is too much of a regular experience for Muslims in Britain. As Deputy Leader of the Green Party, | know how dangerous this hate is and how it drives so many Muslims away from public life.

This was not random. His words echoed the racist abuse I see online every day. British men are being radicalised by extremists, politicians, parts of the media and oligarchs.

We have already seen a spike in Islamophobic hate crime, attacks on places of worship and a torrid of abuse so many face just trying to live their lives

As someone in public office, | know our party will continue to do our part to challenge hate, this incident won’t stop me, I'm more determined than ever!

A memorable night ruined by a racist thug.

| was invited to speak at the EuroAsia Curry Awards on Monday night, it should have been an exciting opportunity. But on my way there, outside Earl’s Court station, | was subjected to an Islamophobic hate crime. | have now reported it to the police.

A man walked towards me shouting: “I know you. I've seen all about you online. You should be deported.” Then he called me a “f*ing Paki.”  Shouting that he's 'white' and | should be deported

He came right up in my face. | was shocked. When | pulled out my phone to record, he backed off — threatening to “smash my head in” as he walked away
