British Muslims form one of Europe’s most ethnically and birth-origin-diverse populations.

Evidence

Today almost 50% of British Muslims are born in the UK, as was the case in 2001. In terms of other regions of birth, 28.5% of British Muslims were born in South Asia, 6.5% in the Middle East, 6% in other European countries and 10% in Africa. The ethnic profile of British Muslims is therefore one of the most diverse in Europe. — A. Hussain, N. Meer, Framing Muslim Integration, 211
