replies: text: Hi there. I think we should be careful that information is put in the appropriate article. There is an article about Islam in England and what you are describing would appear more appropriate in that article rather than here.

::What percentage of Muslims in Britain actually practice their faith actively?.  For example: I'm just looking at the figures, and if all of Bradford's 75,000 Muslims went to the main mosque on Friday, it would need to be the size of a large football stadium.  I've no point to make here, and no axe to grind. I'm just curious.  160.84.253.241 09:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Interesting question, though should it have been posted at the bottom of the page?  My impression is that many Muslims are fairly observant, and it can not purely be measured by Mosque attendance - work and domestic commitments would reduce this, for example Gwaka Lumpa 14:11, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for that.  I didn't put it at the bottom because I didn't think it was important enough, it was just a casual question.  Just for fun...If all of Greater London's Christians went to church next Sunday, there would be 5,200,000 people trying to crowd into each church :-)
What is the source for the top ten figures? - I'd like to check out local authorities 'lower down' the rankings
VERY Good question (the one about what percentage of Muslims in Britain are practicing).  I'm a lapsed Muslim (not for any hardcore ideological reason - just that I think observing Islam is too much like hard work and I really can't be arsed).  Anyway, I'm fed up with people thinking I go to the mosque and pray e.t.c. just because of the way I look and because of my name.  There's loads of others like me in Britain who can't be bothered with Islam anymore and just want a quiet life.  I haven't been inside a mosque for five years!

thread_title:  bs? 

message: The section on religious and ethnic demographics among the Muslim community Britain was borderline offensive, and i'm not even British.  It was blatantly and disgustingly biased toward the South Asian community and the South Asian community only, with a number of unsubstantiated numerical claims and obvious bias for and against certain sects.  In addition, while the status of the British Asian Muslims was delved into in great (too much) detail, the articl actually claimed little was known about Britain's Arab Muslim community.  It even referred to a mosque with an Arab majority as an "Arab run mosque".  I don't see how that can be construed as anything other than thinly veiled racism.  On top of this, there was no mention of black (African or Caribbean) Muslims.  Not that there was too little mention of them; there was no mention of them.  At all.  Like they don't exist or something.  I have to admit that keeping my objectivity was difficult upon reading this as I don't understand how someone could think a section like that would be acceptable for an encyclopedia.  I removed the more useless and baseless claims and inserted some material about African and Afro-Caribbean Muslims, but this article still needs a lot of work. MezzoMezzo 21:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't be too quick to take offence. It looks to me like a good faith effort from editors writing from their own experience -- the problem is the lack of references for the assertions made rather than conscious prejudice. There isn't a lot of good data on head counts for different strands of Islam, but the 2001 census data on religion and ethnicity might explain why that section was slanted towards South Asian traditions: it shows that British Muslims of South Asian descent comprise at least 2/3 of all British Muslims. I agree that the article does have a South Asian slant and your changes are an improvement but the sentence that you added about a large diaspora of African and Afro-Caribbean Muslims isn't much better than the ones that you complain about; Whilst there is a substantial number of Black African Muslims, the census data shows that the number of Black Caribbean Muslims is very small and what little research there has been on converts to Islam in Britain doesn't support the idea that there are a large number of converts from any ethnic group. --Duncan Keith 07:41, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Looks like I spoke too soon.  I just saw your recent edit, very very good.  I like the citation and the nice table you have made up there.  This begs the question, with that put in there, is the following section about organizations and ethnic descent necessary for the article?  It may be superfluous at this point. MezzoMezzo 09:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the kind words. The prose in that section certainly can be slimmed down, but it needs someone more knowledgeable about the mapping between ethnicity and Islamic movements than me to do it. I also agree that it's important to mention the Afro-Caribbean Muslim community, not least because the prominence of Richard Reid and Germaine Lindsay means that some people will be looking for background information in this article. The Yahya Birt article does have a back-of-the-envelope flavour to it, but he is a serious researcher and I would think it an acceptable reference until something better turns up. --Duncan Keith 11:00, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Definately looks notable.  Are you sure it warrants a section separate from the rest of the article though?  We could also make a subsection underneath political organizations and pressure groups or religious currents and organizations.  It is an organization, and i'm not sure if just this one group warrants a section apart from others.  Just a thought. MezzoMezzo 14:32, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've made the article. The reason why it deserves its own section is that, its different from the other organizations. All the other Islamic organizations are from Muslims. This one is from ex-muslims. --Matt57 (talk•contribs) 19:56, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

text: While this issue has been raised in an insensitive way, this is an issue that we should consider. There have been widespread reports of organised sexual abuse in several English towns, and several criminal convictions. The reports suggest that a many, possibly most, of the perpetrators are men of Pakistani Muslim heritage and the majority of the victims non-Muslim teenaged girls. This has been a cause of inter-community tension and is a likely contributor to Islamophobia. I suggest a new subsection on this, probably grouped with the Alleged forced conversions section. Both issues relate to allegations against Muslims. Verbcatcher (talk) 23:09, 17 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lack of controversy criticism 

message: Some of the sections for example large numbers of information of History has been moved to other articles. It must be reminded that the history refers to the history of Islam in the whole of the United Kingdom, rather than just in one particular region. Islam in England articles are just excess, a sectional can be created over here of England, and much work has been done by a user on this article, and is quite a shame to be moved. Mohsin (talk) 18:08, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with the revert you have just done. I have spent a lot of time trying to cut out material that shouldn't be in this article and to improve sentence structure. If you disagree with some of my edits, why not revert them individually rather then reverting a months worth of work? The version you have returned to is full of glaring problems: for example, figures quoted, such as the Pakistani, Indian etc proportion of Muslims refers to 'England and Wales' and not the UK. The situation of Islam in England is very different from elsewhere in the UK as the vast majority of Muslims live in England and they are a far higher proportion in that country. I am very tempted to revert, but I'll wait to see what others have to say first. 86.150.206.234 (talk) 20:07, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted - a lot of work has been done on this article (including my contribution) and it would be better if individual changes were reverted rather than a blanket revert to a version from a month ago. About 15 editors have made contributions that are lost in a mass revert. I have tried to improve the focus of this article and reword more succinctly. Please look at my individual changes and revert any you think harms the article. Cheers Fishiehelper2 (talk) 21:49, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just realised that you've reverted - I had been checking out an article and didn't notice until I'd added it. I suppose this means this is a further waste of my time as it may just be reverted again! I don't want to be part of any edit warring! I think I've learned a lesson here to only do a few edits over a long time rather than get too involved in a few articles, as I have done recently. (I think I'll take a break from editing for a while and I'll see what the articles look like when I return.) Bye 86.150.206.234 (talk) 21:11, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Ironically in this article ahmadis are documented / shown as Muslims and the photo is also of their place of worship.
Ahmadis should not be considered as Muslims as they have been declared Non-Muslims in the Constitution of Pakistan and widely persecuted in many Islamic countries such as Pakistan , Saudi Arabia, Iran, ...,etc. Also their following is not more than 2,000,000 globally, i.e. people who identify themselves as Ahmadi, Qadiyani, although their ow organization inflates the figure to 200,000,000.
I recommend the administrators to lock this article and remove the picture of Qadiyani / Ahmadi place of worship and any reference of Ahmadi / Qadyani in this article about Muslims in Britain.Khalid bin waleed 04:01, 19 September 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ahmadis not considered Muslims 

message: I am responding to a request for a third opinion.  Qualifiers such as "largest" or "most attended" etc. are subject to interpretation and led to quarreling and edit warring.  Per the first line in the article (Islam has been present in the United Kingdom since its formation in 1707), the best possible choice for the image would be the oldest mosque in the United Kingdom.  – Athaenara  ✉  03:46, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, "most attended" can be subject to interpretation, but I don't think that the "largest" can be. As of 2003, Baitul Futuh was reported to be the largest in Western Europe 1 by the Guradian. Hence there would be little doubt that it is not the largest mosque in the UK. Peaceworld111 (talk) 22:27, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Peaceworld111 - As you didnt like east london mosque, birmingham central mosque, london central mosque (all referred a lot more on the BBC website), these editors for a "neutral third opinion" said to go for the oldest mosque which is fair enough, and we did. But do not engage in warring as I believe this is the most neutral opinion (I don't think putting putting up two images is a good option as wiki is for the public and not to satisfy our disputes, and two images don't serve a purpose as list of mosques can be found elsewhere). Asifkhanj (talk) 22:46, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

text: Peaceworld111 - It is a very underhand tactic you are doing - you go to Islam in X page and try to put a specific Ahmediyya mosque and try to keep it there. You earlier today requested page projection probably to ensure that Ahmediyya's mosques remains on the main page. Wikipedia is not a place to preach a certain faith. Do not accuse me of being anti-Ahmediyya. Same argument can be used by any sect. Respect wiki's NPOV. I'm going through you pages and see how you are attacking people that don't use an Ahmediyya mosque.

thread_title: General Article improvements

message: There is an issue with The Independent's article quoted in [7], where it says:
"However, the poll also found that the vast majority of Muslims have extremely conservative views on moral issues such as homosexuality and the death penalty, which differ dramatically from those held by the rest of the UK population. "
Due to this the wiki page says:
"vast majority of them have extremely conservative views on moral issues such as homosexuality (0% found it morally acceptable) and the death penalty (63% found it morally acceptable), which differ dramatically from those held by the rest of the UK population.[7]"
This implies that the 63% differs "dramatically" from the opinion of the rest of the UK population, however it's common knowledge that around 60% of the UK population back the death penalty in some cases:
http://www.ipsos-mori.com/researchpublications/researcharchive/poll.aspx?oItemId=2504
"70 per cent think the UK should still have the death penalty as the maximum possible penalty for at least one of the twelve different types of crime surveyed."
So it's clearly false to say that they differ dramatically. I will edit it out.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MarcusQuinn-Bjornstad (talk • contribs) 17:59, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

message: The data mentioned under Identity & Preferences is ridiculously biased. I checked all the references; key positive data points seem to have been carefully and systematically ignored, while all the negative points were highlighted admirably.
 
Also I hate making baseless assumptions, but the picture "Muslim women in Whitechapel" was clearly picked to portrait the community in a negative light, since the great majority of British Muslims do not dress or look anything like that. Honestly, why would anyone pick a picture like this if they're neutral about the subject? 
I don't know about you, but I'm not sure I like seeing this kind of tabloid-style journalism used in a Wikipedia article, let alone an article dealing with a sensitive topic like religion and community cohesion.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.64.170.188 (talk) 12:02, 6 October 2012 (UTC)

message: has cited Kratke's Transnationalism and Urbanism (p 145) for a claim that had been disputed before both here and on other talk pages. The same editor has recently used that citation in several articles: London, Islam in England, Islam in the United Kingdom, Religion in England, Religion in the United Kingdom and East London Mosque. The reference does not support the claim, that the East London Mosque was "the first mosque in the European Union to be permitted to broadcast the adhan" - it just briefly recounts disputes over allowing the adhan in 1986. On being reverted, the editor has re-inserted the claim, a claim which does not even appear on the mosque's comprehensive website yet seems to be being used to give the mosque (and a particular image of the mosque) priority on Wikipedia over all other UK mosques. I will remove the claim again and I ask  not to repeat it without a source which clearly and directly states it. NebY (talk) 17:32, 8 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: It is not appropriate to have a section dedicated to the Henry Jackson Society here. This is a political neoconservative organisation and has its own agenda, not an impartial source. Ishbiliyya (talk) 01:51, 7 April 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Henry Jackson Society? 

message: This section, as it stands is heavily bias, so I have tagged it. In a general context, the term "extremism" when used in relation to Islam, is presumed to mean terrorism. The subjective quotes from Jeremy Corbyn and a member of the Lib Dems regarding Saudi Arabia and "extremism" in British Islam need to be placed in context. Corbyn has a clear dog in the fight because his nose is lodged firmly up the backsides of the Tehran Shia regime (as his numerous appearences on Press TV show), the main geopolitical enemies of Saudi Arabia, so his comments on this country need to be taken with a pinch of salt. There is no evidence that British clerics, British mosques or British Muslim schools sponsored by Saudi Arabia endorse terrorism against Britain or in general (the actual Islamists in Britain, ie - Al-Muhajiroun and Hizb ut-Tahrir support the overthrow of all Gulf monarchies). What they do is forward an orthodox view of Islam, which rejects for example, homosexuality, gender-bending, the equality of religions and sometimes criticises Israel for their ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people. None of this is "extremism" and its too ambigious to use this term, with its assocations to violence. This is like calling British Catholics "extremist" for opposing abortion and homosexuality, or for believing that their church is the "One True Church", or whatever. There is no context to this, just anti-religious liberal supremacist bigotry. Ishbiliyya (talk) 22:57, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Your argument seems to be more with Corbyn and the others mentioned, rather than this article. At any rate, a tag is only useful if there is an actionable proposal to improve the article. Tags are not available to express personal dissatisfaction, so what is the proposed change?

thread_title:  "Extremist ideology" 

message: This article states that there’s circa 2500000 Muslims in the UK, out of this number 400,000 are Shia Muslims, that means they make up 15-20% of a Islamic community yet from the article we either don’t learn that or we learn, without any sources, that their population is 5%. There’s a huge difference between 5 and 15%.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.149.86.224 (talk) 19:36, 20 February 2020 (UTC)
