Why are Politicians Silent about Fire Attacks Targeting Mosques?

In a recent incident, a mosque in Redditch, a small town in north-west England was attacked by arsonists. A study done by "European Muslim Research Centre at the University of Exeter" shows a rise in arson attacks, criminal damage, intimidation and violence against Muslim, most of which unreported. The study states that after 9/11 such violent attacks against Muslims in the US and UK have reached a "dangerously high level".
According to this study arson and fire-bomb attacks against mosques only receives the attention of local media, while in the national media they remain largely unreported. The striking point is that with this level of violence against Muslims and particularly with the rising number of fire attacks on mosques, almost no politician has ever talked about the issues. In this edition of the show we ask the following question: Why are politicians silent about fire attacks targeting mosques? Source
