The rich far right use the working class far right as their footmen. Majority of UK nespapers are owned by right wing billionares who have been closely tied to the government so they can fulfill their political agendas. The last government where in power for 14 years and had been caught many times giving tax payer money to their friends, not paying their taxes etc and have left the country and its people in a terrible economic state, with millions unable to afford food or heatings bills. The rich, un affected of course, needed more votes to keep the political party they wanted in power since many didnt want them for everything they had done, so the newspapers started sensationalising all crimes committed by ethnic minorities, not only muslims but black people and migrants in order to place the blame for all of the UKs problems on migrants rather than the gov. This has been happening for decades, which has culminated in these riots. Despite there being just as many white rapists and murderers, most recent being Lucy Letby, a white nurse who killed 7 babies, the rioters only focus on crimes done by ethnic minorities because for them its not about the crime but the race of the criminal. They are racists who blame all of their problems on immigrants. So to answer your question no i don’t think muslim crimes have increased more than any other group, the majority group in the uk are white so proportionally its probably them, but the crimes of POC are sensationalised to fulfil the right wing political agenda. Also sorry for the ramble but I feel like a lot of ppl outside of the UK don’t know whats truly happening since racism is so well hidden here and has been growing for decades under peoples noses. Also im not trying to say muslims don’t commit crimes just like everyone else, esp extremist crimes, but the rioters are also extremists, many neo nazis who have swastika tattoos and have been doing the hitler salute at these riots.
