France's war on Muslim women's hijab has led to an increase in the rate of hate crimes against Muslims in the country, an activist tell Press TV.
In an interview with Press TV, Marwan Muhammad from the Collective Against Islamophobia said that the hate crimes against Muslims increased "because some of the perpetrators feel empowered.
