Muslims Do Not Commit Most of London's Knife Crimes

In mid-summer 2020, a meme was shared stating that Muslims commit nearly 90% of all knife crimes in London. The claim originally began after the Right Honourable Sadiq Khan’s election to mayor in 2016. Since the election of an Islamic mayor, London’s Muslim community has been a hot target for fake or misleading news. One such claim is that Muslim immigrants are responsible for the lion's share of knife crime in London.
