It would seem that everyone and everything is to blame apart from the criminals themselves.
/// The shadow Justice Secretary, Sadiq Khan, said the Government’s “complacency [on the issue] is breath-taking”. ///
/// Muzammil Quraishi, a senior lecturer in criminology and criminal justice at Salford University, said: “Young Muslim men are under the official gaze from their school days onwards ///
/// Amal Imad, of the charity Muslim Aid, suggested that poor educational performance, problems finding fulfilling jobs and family breakdown were factors in the increasing numbers of Muslims behind bars. ///
/// Mizanur Rahman, a spokesman for the organisation Muslim Prisoners, blamed the spike on Islamophobia and racism among police officers. ///

Duh - AOG - the Muslim population of the UK has nearly doubled in a decade, so wouldn't one expect the prison population to go up....one would hope at lower than the increase. Info UK census 2001/11 1.6 million to 2.8
Unfortunately, you have missed the real point here, that would merit more debate. The Muslims now make up 4.8% of the population and in prison it is one in 7 or 14.2% if I apply old-fashioned maths.

There are many reasons why they find themselves very easily on the wrong side of the law.
Many Muslims have come from countries where there is a lot of violence and not much enforcement.
They sometimes have little opportunity to earn money and resort to illegal activities to make a living.
Some Muslims believe only in the laws of their religion and have contempt for the laws of their hosts.
Islam teaches contempt for the rights of women and this sometimes leads to sex crimes. They are often surprised when such crimes are reported and investigated in a modern western society, unlike their country of origin where the victims are too frightened to say anything and the police don't care.

2001 there were 1,591,000 muslims in the country.
2011 there were 2,700,000 muslims in the country.
The number of muslims here has nearly doubled, so if the number sent to prison has double, that is what you woyld expect. It means the percentage of muslims being sent to prison for crimes has remained about the same.

The figures are higher than that in some areas. 27% in London.

This from naomi24's link:
/// Other explanations could be that Muslims are more frequently caught and prosecuted, or sentenced to longer prison terms compared with other offenders. ///
How do the police know that they are Muslims until they are actually caught and charged?
Also hasn't this excuse already been used by another group?

The number of multi millionaire Muslims is also on the rise which would seem to counter most of the arguments about predjudice and disadvantage.
Cameron and Johnson both hope that hosting the WIEF will see those property deals and company takeovers multiply but London already has plenty of financial success stories among its Muslim residents and visitors. Earlier this week the Muslim Council of Britain released an assessment of the Muslim contribution to the British economy, estimating that we have more than 10,000 Muslim millionaires, with liquid assets of more than £3.6 billion. There are 13,400 Muslim-owned businesses in London, the report said, creating more than 70,000 jobs and representing just over 33 per cent of Small to Medium Enterprises in London.
Maybe rose in prison are the scum of Muslim society, just like the indigenous incarcerates?

/// Some areas of London have a muslim population of over 30%. So if some Prisons have over 30% muslim prisoners, that is not surprising. ///
If it is not surprising, then why is such a prominent person (himself a Muslim) calling for an inquiry?
*** The data was obtained by Sadiq Khan, the lawyer and shadow justice secretary who is himself a Muslim. He told the Evening Standard that an inquiry was vital to explain why the increase is happening. ***
