British Muslim Trust warns that mosques in the UK are being attacked “every five days,” citing a continuing rise in incidents targeting places of worship. The Trust says many communities are still waiting for protective security measures that the government has promised, suggesting delays in implementation despite the heightened threat environment. According to the government, it has increased funding for protective security at mosques to £40 million for 2026/27. The reports describe tension between the level of funding announced and the timing of when improved protection reaches individual sites, with some mosques reportedly facing wait times for security support. Taken together, the coverage presents a picture of sustained attacks or attempts to disrupt worship, alongside administrative or logistical gaps in delivering promised safeguards. The government’s funding increase is presented as a planned response, while the Trust’s warnings focus on the pace at which protection is put in place for affected communities.
