British Muslims Must Choose Between Beauty and Bigotry

There are thousands of mosques across Europe. Switzerland banned minarets, but that is a superficial response to a surging issue. There are thirty million Muslims in Europe today. Many of these Muslims feel fully European, but many do not. In my own country, Great Britain, I am worried by those Muslims who use the country's liberties and laws to undermine our civilisation and heritage. Mosques are increasing in Britain's towns and cities. With almost five million Muslims, there are thousands of new buildings with domes and minarets. In the decades ahead, mosques are predicted to mushroom across the whole land. I went on a journey across the country to understand modern British Muslim culture, but I kept one eye on the history of Islamic civilisation too.
