After far-right anti-Muslim attack in Peterborough, England, 12-year-old Joshua and his father visited more than 60 UK mosques, with Turkish mosques next on their list <\/p><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/a>By Behlul Cetinkaya<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An anti-Muslim hate incident carried out by a far-right extremist at a mosque in the English city of Peterborough has transformed into a nationwide campaign of kindness led by 12-year-old autistic, non-speaking Joshua and his father, Dan Harris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The father and son, who have visited more than 60 mosques across the UK to meet congregations and distribute homemade cakes, now say their next goal is to visit mosques in T\u00fcrkiye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In October 2025, far-right extremist Alexander Hooper entered a mosque in Peterborough and sat next to worshippers performing ablution, making derogatory remarks about Islam and Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Police were dispatched after members of the congregation reported the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A scuffle broke out between the 57-year-old Hooper and a female police officer attempting to remove him from the mosque, and he was later detained with the assistance of worshippers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incident, referred to in British media as the \u201cAlma Road Mosque incident,\u201d was recorded as one of a series of recent far-right hate attacks in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the incident, Dan Harris, who lives in the city, decided to visit the mosque with his son to show support and send the message: \u201cYou are not alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe story began in the most unexpected way. We simply wanted to share a message of solidarity,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis little boy \u2013 a 12-year-old non-speaking child known globally as \u2018Joshi Man\u2019 \u2013 is an incredible baker,\u201d the father said, adding: \u201cWe made some cakes together, shared a video, and it unexpectedly went viral worldwide.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What began as a single visit soon turned into a nationwide campaign under the slogan \u201cDon\u2019t hate, bake,\u201d after the father and son received threats and insults from far-right circles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They have since visited more than 60 mosques across England, wearing traditional caps and kandura robes, praying alongside congregations and distributing cakes Joshua prepared at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joshua, who communicates by pointing to letters in an alphabet tattoo on his father\u2019s arm, is said to have socialised and found calm in the peaceful mosque environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris said the reaction to their first visit prompted deeper reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a privileged white, middle-class man living in a comfortable area of Peterborough, England, I began to reflect. If this was the reaction directed at me, what must others in the UK be experiencing?\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat realisation opened our eyes to the scale of far-right propaganda and the significant level of Islamophobia present in the country,\u201d he stressed. \u201cWhat we also discovered was that people willing to stand up against it often become targets themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said they received anonymous letters, death threats and insults directed at Joshua.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHowever, every time we receive a threat, it strengthens our resolve. It pushes us to go further and reach more places,\u201d Harris said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their journey recently reached what he described as a meaningful milestone after they were invited to Medina in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a profoundly moving experience, and we felt extremely fortunate to be there. The hospitality we encountered was overwhelming \u2013 from people in the streets to those we met inside the mosque. They could not have been more generous,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris said they are eager to visit T\u00fcrkiye next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe would love to visit T\u00fcrkiye as well. Some of the most beautiful mosques in the world are there. Although we have only seen photographs online, I am certain they cannot fully capture their majesty, peace, and grandeur. I believe Joshi would deeply appreciate their atmosphere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described the emotional transformation their campaign has brought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPerhaps the most significant change we have experienced is the feeling that Joshi now has hundreds of thousands \u2013 maybe even millions \u2013 of \u2018aunties and uncles\u2019 around the world. People who genuinely care about him. That sense of global compassion brings us immense comfort,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

London Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre Director General Ahmad Al-Dubayan also said they are always pleased to host children like Joshua and noted that around 9 000 students from British schools visit the mosque annually for educational trips, most of whom are not Muslim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He emphasized the mosque\u2019s contributions to British society through humanitarian aid, food assistance and educational activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI believe one of the core tenets of Islam is the religious imperative to care for strangers and neighbors. Mosques are spiritual spaces — places where people come to worship Allah and focus on their inner peace,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I think that is where children like Joshi find comfort. When they enter such spaces, they encounter calmness, acceptance, and peace.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
