ITV News and the Birmingham Mail report on a suspected racially motivated arson attack on a Muslim arts centre in Birmingham.
The Ulfah Arts and Media centre which is used by a Muslim women’s group had received anti Muslim hate mail in the weeks preceding the attack, according to the news report. The centre, which has been destroyed in the fire bears echoes of the arson attack on the Bravanese Somali centre in Muswell Hill which was burnt to the ground last summer, days after the murder of Drummer Lee Rigby.
West Midlands police have confirmed the incident as an arson attack and are investigating racial motives for the attack.
