According to the Washington, DC-based Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, in a September 2010 analysis titled "Muslim Networks and Movements in Western Europe," there are now 2.8 million Muslims living in Britain, or 4.6 percent of the population.
In absolute terms, Britain has the third largest Muslim community on the continent, after Germany (4,119,000) and France (3,574,000). In percentage terms, Britain is in ninth position, after Belgium (6.0 percent), France (5.7 percent), Austria (5.7 percent), Switzerland (5.7 percent), The Netherlands (5.5 percent), Germany (5.0 percent), Sweden (4.9 percent) and Greece (4.7 percent). British Muslims account for 16.8 percent of all Muslims in Western Europe.
The official 2001 census recorded a total of 1,591,000 Muslims in Britain.
The most widely-publicized figures for Britain's Muslim population since the 2001 census have been estimates from the British government's Labour Force Survey (LFS), which were first published by the Times of London newspaper in January 2009, and later confirmed by Hansard, the official report of debates in the British Parliament.
According to the LFS data, the Muslim population in Britain grew from 1,870,000 in 2004 to 2,422,000 in 2008, an increase of more than 500,000. During those four years, Britain's Muslim population multiplied 10 times faster than the rest of society. By contrast, the number of Christians in the country fell by more than 2 million during the same period.
As the number of Muslims in Britain increases, so are the frictions within British society. In an effort to ease religious tensions in the country, the British government in 2006 enacted the Racial and Religious Hatred Act, which creates a new crime of intentionally stirring up religious hatred against people on religious grounds. Predictably, the new law has led to zealousness bordering on the absurd.
In Nottingham, for example, the Greenwood Primary School cancelled a Christmas nativity play because it interfered with the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha. In Scarborough, the Yorkshire Coast College removed the words Christmas and Easter from their calendar not to offend Muslims. In Scotland, the Tayside Police Department apologized for featuring a German shepherd puppy as part of a campaign to publicize its new non-emergency telephone number. The postcards are potentially offensive to the city's 3,000-strong Muslim community: Islamic legal tradition says that dogs are impure.
