British Muslims are now a larger, younger, and more organized community than in 1997.
Evidence
Compared with 1997 the population has grown considerably, to nearly 3 million (from approximately 1.2 to 1.4 million), with a young median age and a large number born in Britain. Furthermore the British Muslim population, especially compared with 1997, is much more organized, with a wide range of public, private and civil society voices, ranging from the arts and media to sports and politics. — A.
