Muslim leader 'lost count' of abuse incidents

A leading member of the Muslim community in Wales says she had "lost count" of incidents of abuse aimed at her even before the Paris terrorist attacks.

After Islamic State (IS) militants claimed responsibility for Friday's incidents that left 129 dead, the assistant secretary general of the Muslim Council of Wales fears a backlash.

Sahar Al Faifi said if she reported all the incidents she experienced, she would be "living half my life in the police station".

She told BBC Radio Wales' Sunday Supplement programme that she wanted to break racial stereotypes and prejudices across Wales.
