When that idiot from Cardiff drove his van in to a load of Muslim a few years back I did initially assume it was a fundamentalist Islamic terrorist attack. But when it came out that those attacked were Muslim I was the first to admit I was wrong.
That was pretty much the only time I was wrong in this sort of instance though.

Ian Ward, leader of Birmingham city council, said there was no room for “hate and Islamophobia” in the city.
...
Jack Dromey, the Labour MP for Birmingham Erdington, tweeted: “Hate is on the march. Overnight the Slade Road Mosque in #Erdington was attacked. We stand in solidarity with the Muslim community. And we condemn the evil of Islamophobia and those who fuel the flames of hate.”
...
Waseem Zaffar, a Birmingham city council cabinet member, wrote: “Deeply shocking and concerning to learn about the attacks on masjids in neighbouring Aston and Erdington neighbourhoods.
“We will not let a very small minority divide our neighbourhood, the city and society and will fight back against any hate and division with love, peace and harmony.”
