Reviews

'The issue of hate on the internet has emerged as one of the greatest challenges facing those charged with reducing harmful hate cases in our societies, particularly since the proliferation of social media. Muslims in Europe have felt this online hostility as keenly as other communities and this is a serious text that will be valuable to any reader looking to better understand the nature of anti-Muslim hostility and how it is expressed online.' Paul Giannasi, Manager of the UK Government Hate Crime Programme
