In the serene town of Southport, nestled in the northwest of England, a mosque became the epicenter of chaos following a night of riots. Stirred by false rumors spread online, a far-right mob targeted the mosque, mistakenly blaming a Muslim refugee for a tragic mass stabbing that had left three little girls dead. The scene outside was one of pandemonium as riot police were attacked with bottles, bricks, and fireworks, resulting in 50 injuries. Inside, the terror was palpable; stones were hurled like petrol bombs, and the sound of an explosion nearby led many to fear the worst.
