British Muslims are more patriotic
77% of Muslims say they “identified with the UK” compared with only 50%t of the public at large.
Muslims also outscored the general public for their belief in our courts, honest elections, financial institutions and the media.
The study by the Open Society Institute, funded by the financier and philanthropist George Soros, was conducted over two and a half years and involved 2,200 in-depth interviews and 60 focus groups in 11 cities across Europe with large Muslim communities.
In Britain, researchers focused on Leicester and Waltham Forest, east London, where they found that levels of patriotism were even higher among second-generation Muslims.
In Leicester, 72 per cent of Muslims born abroad said they felt British but 94 per cent of those born in Britain said the same.
“There has been a policy of trying to accommodate difference here and it appears to be paying off.”

It is good to see the British way of doing things has triumphed again, isn't it?
