I wonder how many of the city overlords and police are already Muslims?
Three Bradford councillors have "mohammed" as part of their published name, and so I would assume that they are muslim. Many others may be as well....

As to the police, these FR threads may possibly be of interest:
Great Britain Muslim police officer excused Israel guard duty (Embassy duty excuse labeled P.C.)
Revealed The hijab-wearing 17-year-old Muslim girl hired as a community police officer (U.K.)
U.K. Priest gets a visit from 'hate crime' police for expressing his views on Muslim veil affair
Great Britain White men may wait three years to get into the Metropolitan Police
Met Police forced to spend £15,000 on new mascot - because old one is 'too male and white'(UK)
Interesting. Going by the names of the Council members, 22 out of 90 are Muslims. I think one woman and 21 men.
Not yet a majority, but certainly a substantial number. Enough to explain why the Council was working with the police to wreck the parade, although it almost certainly helps bring business into the city.
