The vast majority of British Muslims identify with their religion over their nationality, a report has found.
A study conducted by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL), based on survey data and interviews with 815 British Muslims, has found that over seven in ten (71 percent) identify as Muslims first.
In contrast, just 27 percent of British Muslims said they primarily identified as British, English, or Scottish.
The report found that younger people were far more likely to identify as Muslims first at 85 percent, compared to older Muslims, a majority of whom (57 percent) identified as being British first.
“When you ask people in their 20s, that were born here, in this country, they can express themselves very freely. They can freely call themselves ‘Muslims’ rather than ‘British’. But if you speak to their father, they will say they are British. The immigrant generation had to push their Muslim identity down so they could integrate,” one of the survey respondents remarked.
Director of Research for the IIFL, Charlotte Littlewood, claimed that the main driver of people identifying as Muslim first was not a “loyalty to Islam” but rather “about not feeling welcomed to identify as British first.” …

Islam refuses integration.
Islam requires submission.
As it should be with Christians. Christians are followers of Christ, not America.
Starmer is shocked!
True. However, Islam is very much a secular political movement as well as a religion. Christians are content to let America be America. Muslims are intent on subjecting every country to sharia law.
“the only difference between a muslim and a radicalized muslim is how devoutly they are willing to follow their own religious beliefs”. when they go devout everyone else look out.
Oh?
In ancient Israel, people were divided and identified by tribe name, whether Judah, Benjamin, Manasseh or the other patriarchs. Not to mention the Founding Fathers’ wording of the First Amendment.
Christians are also called to evangelize but true, through word and deed not by the scimtar blade
An invasion by people who deny
the Deity of Christ (by definition)
and explicitly targets Judaism and Christianity.
WHAT could possibly go wrong?
Other studies have said much the same thing. In general, younger Muslim immigrants are more radical than their parents. So it’s foolish to believe that over time, this problem will solve itself. Quite the contrary.
And now a word from some young British folks:
So happy I spent a week in England many years ago. Visited two friends in London, traveled around the country on a tour bus, Loved cities there, especially Bath.
Idiot UK is totally dangerous now. WTF?
The descriptions of Jesus (or Isa bin Maryam) in Islamic writings are highly contradictory. On the one hand, the terms “Messiah” and “a spirit from Allah” are employed, but on the other hand the Sonship is explicitly denied as is the Crucifixion as well as death and resurrection.
That’s true.
God, family, country!
That is how Christians in the military see
it!
Unexpected!
And their own Korean says “Allah has no son”
I have heard that this verse is written on the Dome of the Rock
I think 🤔 maybe on the outside?
Surah 17:111 (Al-Isra):
“And say: ‘Praise be to Allah, who begets no son, and has no partner in (His) dominion: Nor (needs) He any to protect Him from humiliation: yea, magnify Him for His greatness and glory!’”
Surah 23:91 (Al-Mu’min):
“No son did Allah beget, nor is there any god along with Him: (if there were many gods), behold, each god would have taken away what he had created, and some would have lorded it over others! Glory to Allah! (He is free) from the (sort of) things they attribute to Him!”
Surah 4:171 (An-Nisa):
“People of the Book! Do not exceed the limits in your religion, and attribute to Allah nothing except the truth. The Messiah, Jesus, son of Mary, was only a Messenger of Allah, and His command that He conveyed unto Mary, and a spirit from Him (which led to Mary’s conception).”
Surah Al-An’am (6:101): “How could He have a son when He has no consort, and He (Himself) created everything, and He is the Knower of all things.”
The caliphate moves with the tribe. And Muslims are very tribal animals.
Not gonna civilize me, nosiree, Bob.
Think Israelis and the Gaza for a satisfactory answer.
