The absurdity of claiming that British muslims lives are blighted by islamophobia is made very clear when one sees the enormous mosques, schools, madrasas etc that have been built in just about every borough of London, and in many towns and cities. Women and very young girls are free to wear the hijab, burka, niqab or whatever cultural dress they want. Even our state schools, supposedly secular, make exemptions for the cultural mores of religions that insist on girls legs and arms be hidden; even girls as young as 5 are allowed to go to school in the hijab. The demographic has changed massively over the last 25 years. There is never any positive comment about how well the British have accommodated this change. London has an enormous muslim population that is flourishing and far from downtrodden as the election of Sadiq Khan has proven. Soon this 'community' will be a majority in the capital not a minority. Those who claim Islamophobia is a problem in this country are in fact stoking it. It is division they seek and there are plenty of useful idiots around to help them achieve it.
