A 36-year-old man has been kept in custody after a series of violent attacks targeting Muslim people and businesses in Edinburgh.

一名 36 歲男子因在愛丁堡針對穆斯林人士及商家發起一系列暴力襲擊，而被繼續拘留。

On a Friday evening, around 20:30, a series of attacks began near the Broomhouse Mosque, where two men were stabbed several times. The violence then increased as the attacker damaged a taxi at a petrol station on Telford Road and attacked a kiosk on Ferry Road. Finally, on Leith Walk, the suspect allegedly assaulted three people, including a delivery driver, and targeted a pizzeria before being arrested by Police Scotland. The suspect, Lewis Hawkes, has appeared in court facing five charges of attempted murder linked to terrorism, as well as charges of robbery and assault.

在一個週五晚上約 20:30，Broomhouse 清真寺附近開始發生一系列襲擊，導致兩名男子被多次刺傷。隨後暴力行為升級，襲擊者在 Telford Road 的一家加油站損毀了一輛計程車，並攻擊了 Ferry Road 的一個小亭。最後，在 Leith Walk，嫌疑人 Lewis Hawkes 涉嫌襲擊三名人士（包括一名外送司機），並針對一家披薩店，隨後被蘇格蘭警方逮捕。Lewis Hawkes 已出庭，面臨五項與恐怖主義相關的謀殺未遂指控，以及搶劫與襲擊指控。

Following these events, First Minister John Swinney stated that the attacks were a sign of growing intolerance in society. He emphasized that the language used by Reform MSPs in the Scottish Parliament has made social divisions worse. However, Reform deputy leader Thomas Kerr rejected this claim. He asserted that the First Minister was wrongly linking criminal behavior with legitimate political discussions about mass migration.

在這些事件之後，首席部長 John Swinney 表示，這些襲擊是社會不寬容情緒日益增加的徵兆。他強調，蘇格蘭議會中 Reform MSP 的言論加劇了社會分歧。然而，Reform 副黨魁 Thomas Kerr 否認這一說法。他主張首席部長將刑事行為與關於大規模移民的合法政治討論掛鉤是不正確的。

In response, Police Scotland has worked to stabilize the community. Counter-terrorism officers have met with more than 90 multi-faith organizations and local business owners. Although Superintendent Neil Wilson admitted that the community is very anxious, he maintained that there is currently no evidence of a larger organized threat.

對此，蘇格蘭警方致力於穩定社區局勢。反恐警員已與 90 多個多信仰組織及本地商家會面。儘管總警司 Neil Wilson 承認社區目前非常不安，但他堅持目前沒有證據顯示存在更大規模的組織性威脅。

The suspect remains in prison while counter-terrorism investigations continue and politicians continue to debate whether parliamentary language affects social harmony.

嫌疑人目前仍被囚禁，而反恐調查以及政治人物關於議會言論是否影響社會和諧的辯論仍在繼續。
