Introduction

Prince Harry wrote an article. He says there is more hate against Jewish and Muslim people in Britain.

Main Body

Many people are attacking Jewish and Muslim groups. In London and Manchester, people burned buildings and hurt others. This is very bad. Prince Harry says we can be angry at governments in the Middle East. But we must not hate people because of their religion. This is not the same thing. Prince Harry made mistakes in the past. He wore a bad costume in 2005. He said mean things in 2009. He said sorry and learned from these mistakes.

Conclusion

Hate crimes are growing. Important leaders say we must stop the violence.
