Islamophobia
from Lets Talk Knife Crime's podcast
"I want to say that like, I have so far been discriminated because I'm Muslim, and some other people, I don't want to name and shame but like call me a terrorist because, because of one person said "Allahu Akbar", which means, "God is greatest". It has an impact. It has like, like, it has an impact on the rest of the world. And at that time I don't feel great. And I just want to say I don't want it anymore. 'Cos I think racism makes people feel bad about themselves. And like, when people feel bad about themselves they feel insecure they feel they can't open up to anybody, and maybe they get depressed and it goes on like a, like a long-term effect on them. And then it can lead to many other problems like mental health or like anxiety and maybe the only way maybe to cut themselves, hurt themselves, like to release I dunno, I don't know how it is; and also teachers, some teachers, they like to, I have friends and they like to put pressure on them because of their skin colour or they just want to do like just for the fun of it. And I'm just saying I don't want it anymore. Because if this carries on it will become like a more bigger problem than it is right now."
