英国内政部向清真寺和相关社区设施发放了创纪录的6600万英镑应急安保资金,用以应对2024年南港袭击事件后引发的暴力骚乱。12025-26年度的安保资金额度约为4100万英镑。1英国穆斯林信任组织首席执行官阿基拉·艾哈迈德表示:"安全需求是对清真寺所遭攻击增加的直接回应。"1
近年来针对穆斯林社区的暴力事件频繁发生。过去一年英国平均每五天就发生一次清真寺遭袭事件。1伯明翰的Jami社区中心在3月至7月期间报告了至少五起仇恨犯罪事件。12024年南港刀袭事件中三名参加舞蹈课的女孩遇害,此后反穆斯林暴力事件随之上升。1
尽管获得了这笔资金,许多穆斯林社区仍面临申请瓶颈。英国穆斯林女性网络首席执行官沙伊斯塔·戈希尔指出资金申请程序繁琐,许多社区站点仍在等待决定。1与此同时,清真寺安保资金的规模出现了显著增长——2016-17年仅为73,147英镑,而到2024-25年已升至2900万英镑。1
The UK Home Office has allocated a record £66 million in emergency security funding to mosques and related community facilities in response to violent disorder that erupted after the 2024 Southport attack 1. The funding for the 2025-26 financial year reaches approximately £41 million 1, representing a substantial increase from historical levels—mosque security funding stood at just £73,147 in 2016-17 but had grown to £29 million by 2024-25 1.
The escalation in financial support reflects an alarming surge in anti-Muslim hate incidents across the country. Over the past year, the UK has experienced one mosque attack every five days on average 1. Akila Ahmed, chief executive of the British Muslim Trust, characterized the security needs as "a direct response to the increased attacks on mosques" 1. Despite the unprecedented funding allocation, implementation remains uneven; Shaista Gohir, chief executive of the British Muslim Women's Network, noted that the application process is cumbersome and many community sites remain awaiting approval decisions 1.
The disorder was triggered by the Southport knife attack in 2024, in which three girls attending a dance class were killed 1. The violence has continued to impact communities nationwide. The Jami community center in Birmingham alone reported at least five hate crime incidents between March and July 1.
