1) Presume an "event is an event". Therefore, being murdered or injured badly doesn't outweigh getting a "dirty look".And thus it could also be said that non-Muslim victims of "religious hatred" far outnumbered Muslim victims during that statistical period, commencing when the first bomb exploded the morning of July 7.
2) No less than 52 non-bombers died as a result of the suicide bombings on the morning of July 7.
3) The figures on the injured vary, but it appears that the number was "about 700". For this context, we will state the number as exactly 700.
4) All those are counted as individual "events".
5) As of April 2001, there were nearly 1.6 million Muslims in the U.K., with 38% of them living in London. That appears to mean that 608,000 Muslims reside as part of the city's overall population of "over 7 million", therefore making them about 8.5% of London's total population.
6) So, allowing for 10% of those "events" being themselves Muslims caught in the bombing "cross-fire" (given the census figures, that seems statistically generous), that means that 76 of all killed and injured (even rounding up) were statistically also Muslim.
7) Based on such, it could be said that roughly 675 non-Muslims were victims of a terrible series of "hate crimes" perpetrated by Muslims on July 7.
8) That figure is in contrast to 269 "events" directed "mostly against Muslims" in the three weeks following the attacks.

©? Copyright? Well, myself, I guess. But there is nothing too dramatic here. I was born in 1965. I've got graduate degrees in political science and in history, and I've taught in an American university. More importantly, I like music, books, travel, and find skiing a bit of a challenge -- however, as my wife LOVES to ski (and can ski very well!), of course I LOVE to ski, too. ;-) And, overall, I'm probably a lot like yourself: Nobody special, just someone who looks at what's reported and too often thinks, "Hmm . . . that doesn't sound quite right." And then I bash a keyboard.

"The more he saw of Europe, the dearer his own country became, taking a
luster to all its parts that no one bound to the farther shore could know it
merited." (p. 331)
Where have you gone, F.D.R.?
"Do not let us be hair splitters. Let us not ask ourselves whether the Americas should begin to defend themselves after the first attack, or the fifth attack, or the tenth attack, or the twentieth attack. The time for active defense is now." (President Franklin Roosevelt, radio address . . . September 11, 1941.)
