In the wake of the recent Paris atrocities and other attacks linked to the terrorist group ISIS, a young war vet has spoken out condemning the sharp rise in Islamophobia around the world.

Chris Herbert, a British soldier who had his leg blown off in Basra, Iraq, has shared a brilliant Facebook post that eloquently explains that, yes, he was targeted by a Muslim, but is tired of people assuming he’s Islamophobic because of it.

Herbert explains:

Bravo Chris!
