The study by the social integration thinktank British Future and the British Muslim Trust – the government’s official partner in monitoring Islamophobia – found that most Muslims (73%) think the UK is a good place to be Muslim, and that a majority of Britons (52%) believe Muslims are as British as white non-Muslims.
So 48% do not?
However, 17% of the wider public “strongly agree” that “the growth in the Muslim population poses a foundational threat to UK culture”, while 19% do not agree that “Muslims born in this country are as British as white, non-Muslim people born here.”

It’s changing the culture and whether that change is good or bad is a matter of opinion. I can see where people who think their culture is good the way it is now and don’t want it to change are coming from. I’m an immigrant myself (in the USA) and I think I’m as American as most native-born Americans in some ways but not others. I like to think that my net contribution has been a positive one by any reasonable metric, but I admit that I’m biased towards economic metrics. Someone who values cultural continuity very highly might disagree.
