A very, very, silly question. Let’s look at Wikipedia’s list of prominent Muslims in the UK.Actually before we do, let me point out that this is an incredibly long list, it includes politicians, judges, lawyers, authors, journalists, MPs, peers, policemen, military personnel, actors and even fictional Muslim characters on TV, film, stage and book, ( just to show that Muslims play such an important role in UK life that they inevitably get portrayed in the arts too just like everyone else), scientists, and business men. The list is not complete by any means. It includes 9 mayors, not just Sadiq Khan the mayor of London.It does not include all the people who everyday treat our children, teach our children, do our accounts, fix our teeth, drive our planes, ships, taxis, trains and buses, who fix our cars and computers, who just happen to be Muslim too.We in the UK are very proud to have had a Muslim population for so long that there is not a walk of life in which they are not represented, in which Muslims are not playing an I portabt role in maintaining the fabric of our nation. That them being Muslim is not an issue when it comes to them being a useful member of our society.Our healthcare system would just collapse without them for instance.Oh and Muslim children bring yet more joy to our happy laughing schools playgrounds and parks.It is impossible to imagine a UK in the twenty first century without this dynamic, caring community in our midst. We embrace our Muslim brethren. We are all British. First and foremost. Britain is a better place for having lots of Muslims. That diversity is a source strength and hope. That diversity is our future.We have so many important Muslims here in the UK, they win awards, earn medals, deserve praise, get respect. What more do you want? They are integral to the UK, so integral that no one seems to notice and despite that you are concerned about being taken over. Taken over by what? Taken over by all these nice people doing wonderful things just like their fellow Brits who just might happen to be atheist, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Mormaon, and the indifferent.What happens when people immigrate to Britain is like a magic wand is waved, within a few years or generations, everyone is thoroughly British. All you need to be able to do, to be British, is have a laugh. Once you start laughing at daft jokes you have passed the test.So the only people who are ever going to take over the UK are the ones who tell the best jokes.Here is the list at long last, and it is long, don't say I didn’t warn youAcademia and educationEditAli Ansari – university professor at the University of St Andrews[1]Abbas Edalat – university professor at Imperial College London[2]Ali Mobasheri – associate professor and reader at UniversityAsh Amin – Head of Geography at Cambridge University[3]Tipu Zahed Aziz – professor of neurosurgery at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford;
