(MY LONDON) A London Imam has spoken out about his experience growing up in the UK as a Muslim and the hate he still gets.

Sabah Ahmedi says he was a victim of Islamophobia when he was younger, with people often calling him a ‘terrorist’ or ‘Osama Bin Laden’ – especially after the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Despite still being on the receiving end of hate, the 27-year-old, who is one of Britain’s youngest Imams, says he will not stop defending the religion.
