The Future of the Muslim Community in the UK

There's a lot of cultural baggage that isn't really from islam. You can't tell people to jump out of their own school skins and adopt another culture because that's like telling them not to be themselves. The jewish community in the uk has maintained their communal identity by making the leap to a british jewish identity an american jewish identity but they've done it carefully worked out so as to enable them to remain religiously authentic while shedding Baggage. As the indigenization proceeds with minorities you're going to see more intermarriage more conversion, development of local Muslim identities which will develop organically as human societies do.
