UK integration discourse framed Muslims as demographic threats to national existence

Evidence

What has come to define integration talk since has been a focus on creeping change and fear as dangers to the cohesiveness (and existence) of the nation. In this, the strategy echoed concerns with ‘Britishness’ propounded by New Labour since 2006, while giving further succour to fears of an encroaching Londonistan (Phillips 2006) and Eurabia (Ye’or 2006). — Runnymede Trust (ed. Farah Elahi & Omar Khan), Islamophobia, 447
