Muslims are being portrayed as terrorists, rapists, and security threats by abusive users on Facebook, according to a study carried out by researchers at Birmingham City University.

The analysis shows the situation got worse following events including the death of fusilier Lee Rigby and the so-called Trojan Horse allegations of a plot by hardline Muslims to take over Birmingham schools. 

Facebook is committed to a new scheme to remove abusive posts within 24 hours. 

Associate professor at the university, Dr Imran Awan, who conducted the research, said the study found that amid the abuse, there were five recurring ways in which Muslims were portrayed – which he defined as "the five walls of Islamophobic hate".

It was found at the pond on 10 July, "distressing" the residents, according to RSPCA inspector Rob Crutchley.

The animal was not microchipped and was not wearing a collar. It's not clear whether the dog was deliberately harmed or attacked by wildlife, the RSPCA said.

Crews, who were unable to access all of the building, used a hydraulic platform to extinguish the roof's flames. 

The fire was later brought under control, with some firefighters at the scene today.
