In perhaps another sign that things are changing here in the UK a BBC/MORI poll has found that a majority of Muslims in Britain (65%) would prefer for sermons in mosques to be conducted in English.
According to the Chair of the Muslim Council of Religious and Racial Harmony only about 10% of imams in Britain are fluent in English, the other 90% speaking in their own language.
The poll asked a sample of Muslims on their views of multiculturalism in Britain- "87% thought multiculturalism improved British society, but only 28% thought people coming from abroad should adopt British culture and values."
It begs the question then of why exactly they chose to come to Britain and not some other country?
A third of the UK citizens interviewed (the Muslim sample was taken for comparison) vocied the opinion that Islam was "incompatible with the values of British democracy".
