- The following comes from a Muslim website:
Nearly 40% of British Muslims blame the actions of the police and
MI5 for radicalising the younger generation [...] Some 39% said the
authorities were contributing to radicalising young people, with 29%
saying they were not. The survey confirms the widespread anger in the
community over harassment, spying and entrapment techniques that the
security services seem to be deploying against Muslims. “Nearly 40% of
British Muslims blame police and M15 for radicalisation”, 10 April 2015,

Another Islamic website hosts an article which is attributed to a
Muslim academic at Liverpool University:
as researchers have confirmed, the increase [in the Muslim population
of the UK] is potentially greater than this as it is very likely that a large
percentage of the 7% of the population who did not answer the optional
question regarding religion are Muslims. “The Significance of Muslim
growth in the UK”, 14 Jan 2013, http://www.islam21c.com/islamic-
