Muslim migrants

Reader comment on item: Muslims "Lagging Behind"
in response to reader comment: Why is the United States an Exception?

In the UK most of the muslim immigrants were uneducated peasants from the Indian subcontinent, imported as cheap labour in the '50s/'60s to work in the factories.
