Report: Ghettoised UK Muslims Believe Britain 75 Percent Islamic

Some British Muslims live such segregated lives they believe the UK is a Muslim nation and 75 per cent of the population follow the Islamic faith, a government report will reveal this week.

The major review by Dame Louise Casey, the government’s community cohesion Tsar, will expose how some communities have created a parallel existence with their own separate housing estates, schools, and television channels.

The report will “send shock waves through the system”, a Whitehall source told The Times, adding: “It’s going to be quite hard reading for some people.”

In northern cities such as Bradford, Dewsbury and Blackburn, some Muslims will almost never leave their isolated areas and interact with mainstream British society, the document explains.

The Savile Town area of Dewsbury, for example, is 98.7 per cent South Asian, and has been described as “the most segregated area in the UK.” The majority of the population follows the ‘fundamentalist’ Deobandiand school of Islam.

“Certain Muslims, because they are in these communities and go to Muslim schools, think Britain is a Muslim country. They think 75 per cent of the country is Muslim”, a source who has seen the report told the paper.
