It came as British Muslims warned others to pray before leaving the house and to not walk the streets alone amid fears they would be targeted by far-riot rioters.

On TikTok, a Muslim woman warned more than 11,000 followers to take precautions when leaving the house.

Others took to social media to claim they were frightened to take their children out, while other women claimed they had chosen to temporarily not wear their hijabs, for fear the head scarf would draw unwanted attention.

In a clip shared on social media, a video appeared to show vandalised Muslim graves in a Lancashire cemetery.

Footage showed white paint splashed over the gravestones.

“This is appalling and another new low,” the poster wrote on X.

“Muslim gravestones within a cemetery in Burnley have been vandalised with white paint and desecrated.”

Police said they were treating the incident as a hate crime.

Meanwhile, residents outside the Waterloo Road mosque in Middlesbrough, told journalists: “We’re going to be paying for this, and for what?

“This has got nothing to do with three little girls that have lost their lives. They’ve used it to cause utter mayhem on our streets.”
