Muslims in Britain. Assimilated or Claiming a Separate System?

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2011 in the subject Cultural Studies - European Studies, language: English, abstract: The presence of Muslim communities in Europe dates back to the turn of the twentieth century, when such immigrants began arriving from European empires. United Kingdom has traditionally welcomed immigrants, but just as elsewhere, their integration was seen through specific prisms. A community that insists on a primarily spiritually derived identity creates some issues that require adaptation.
