“They are scared of further harassment and are now too scared to come to the mosque.” <\/p>\n
Fowler’s defence solicitor said he knew his crime was “appalling” but that he did not know why he did it. <\/p>\n
It was suggested his various caring responsibilities – including looking after his wife with breast cancer – may have led to a mental breakdown. <\/p>\n
Chair of the bench, Suzanne Irish-Deverill, told Fowler she was “disgusted” by the footage and that his crimes were “pre-planned on multiple occasions”. <\/p>\n
She added: “You also had the audacity to record it yourself. It has had significant impact and caused shock and distress.<\/p>\n
“People are entitled to travel to a place of worship without being racially or religiously harassed – it is a hate crime.” <\/p>\n
Fowler was also ordered to pay \u00a3239 in costs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"“They are scared of further harassment and are now too scared to come to the mosque.” Fowler’s defence…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":266882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8817],"tags":[748,393,4884,1620,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-266881","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sheffield","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-sheffield","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114863545114880639","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266881","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=266881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/266881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/266882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=266881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=266881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=266881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
