I wonder if this is just a case of the UK media following PM Brown's orders about "the religion that dare not be spoken of".
For all I know it could be just a bunch of average blokes that moved to the country.
But I've learned to pay attention to vague descriptions of trouble-makers in the press. Just too many times it turns out to be Islamic. Just trying to be neighborly because they know their loudspeaker "Call To Prayer" would clash with the bell-ringing.
