Amne Alrifai said Muslim women have become too frightened to leave their own homes Muslims communities in Sydney have organised 'chaperoning services' for women on public outings after a rise in abuse and vandalism. They say there has been a rise in attacks since the anti-terror raids three weeks ago, as well as reports of Australians fighting for the Islamic State in recent months. There has been 30 attacks reported on Muslims because of their religion since the first anti-terror raids in Sydney on September 18, according to the Muslim Legal Network. Most of these attacks were on women wearing the traditional Muslim hijab, the organisation says.
