20 years on from surviving 7/7 - my experience as a British Muslim

I survived the 7/7 London bombings, but as a British Muslim I still grew up being called a terrorist

Four years on from the attacks on 9/11 - this was a time when, in the minds of many, Muslims were already associated with terrorism.

"While I was lucky to walk away physically unscathed, I carried a different kind of wound: being part of a community that was treated with collective blame."
