Harrow Mosque where there are reprots on Twitter of a Mosque attacked. During the riots tweets reached the high 60s on our clima.me scale to 100. Such levels for a Monday night are extremely high.
Whitechapel Mosque where there have been reports of attacks on a Mosque. This is a major urban area with a large art community, but tweeting of 80 to 90 on our clima.me scale is very high for the middle of the night.
With great concern we are reading reports of Mosques in London being attacked. In both cases we can see a lot of tweets coming from the area around the Mosque. We hope this is Muslims trying to protect their Mosques. This opens up a major potential danger if the rioting starts involving hate attacked.

Muslim men came out of the Mosque, stood in face of rioters w/o attacking or confronting them. Just standing there like "We are here blud".
