Yesterday the Archbishop of Canterbury (an extreme political liberal of course) made the news by saying he thought Islamic law was inevitable in the UK.
What an idiot.
Even back in 1976 when I first visited England I was very surprised at the percentage of immigrants. Back then it was largely Indian, Pakastani, etc but there was still a significant percentage of Arabs. By 1980 when I visited Arabs owned over 90% of the actual city of London (downtown financial district).
What has changed over the years is the percentage of Muslims there that are not secular. Now many of them are hardcore with the women wearing at the very least scarves and many wearing the full burqa's or similar garments.
In 2006 our driver to the airport in London was a 40ish Middle Eastern man who told me that when he immigrated to England he did not let his parents know he had become secular. He lied to them about how religous he was and did not even tell them he had married a British woman later.
