I wear a niqab in the most Islamophobic place in Britain and it’s terrifying

(MIRROR) A Muslim woman living in the most Islamophobic place in Britain says she is scared to go outside wearing her niqab.

Souad Mohammed, 47, claims she is verbally abused on a daily basis and was almost set on fire when youths burned her veil last year.

She lives in the London borough of Westminster, which has the highest number of Islamophobic hate crimes in the capital.

The mum-of-three has been called an ‘ISIS bride’ and ‘Osama Bin Laden’s wife’ while out in public.

Souad, who was born in Westminster, told The Mirror: “It’s very unsafe to live here. I get anxiety every time I go out.
