That Birmingham is entirely Muslim is laughable. However, there are wards within Birmingham that are almost exclusively Muslim:

“According to the 2011 Census, 90% of residents in Lozells and East Handsworth, Sparkbrook, Aston and Washwood Heath wards said that they were from an ethnic group other than white British.”

FROM THE ARTICLE: Three wards in Birmingham’s inner suburbs recorded more than 70% of people identifying as Muslim in the 2011 census – Washwood Heath (77.3%), Bordesley Green (73.9%) and Sparkbrook (70.2%). In Ladywood Road in Sparkbrook, part of the city’s Balti Triangle, there are few non-Asian faces, but also plenty of off-licences stuffed with crates of beer to wash down the curries.

"That Birmingham is entirely Muslim is laughable."

Since it's so laughable, I wonder if it was simply a blunder or rather an overstatement, as when someone might say, "Everyone in Seattle is a liberal," to denote the general tone of a place, rather than to state a literal fact. If Birmingham is about 20-22% Muslim (as I've heard claimed), Islam might indeed be beginning to set the general tone of the place, even if 80% of the people aren't Muslim. And if it isn't now, what about in 15-20 years?
