‘However, with the U.K now having a large Muslim population’
Really, because I could swear that we dont. In fact 96% of the population is NOT Muslim. And some of the 4% who are are white converts, black Afro-Caribbean converts, white Muslims from Eastern Europe (Kosovo for example), and Muslims from Asia (Malaysia, Singapore).
Why do Americans think Britain is overrun with Muslims?.
Islam has been present in the United Kingdom since its formation in 1707,[1] though it was not legally recognised until the Trinitarian Act in 1812. Today it is the second largest religion in the country with estimates suggesting that by 2010 the total Muslim population had reached 2.869 million.[2][3] Between 2001 and 2009, Islam was the fastest growing religion in the UK, with the Muslim population increasing roughly 10 times faster than for the rest of society.[4]
4% of 60 million is 2.4 million. Radical Muslims are estimated to be 10 to 25% of their population, or up to
600,000. That’s a lot of Muzzies in a small country.
