Growth of Islam in Uk

Well I certainly don't think islam is taking over the UK. We definitely have a problem with extremists, literalists and wahabbi nutters but it's not something that's spiralling out of control in the way that the Robert Spence/Palma Geller types would have you believe, though there are problems.
One of the things that kicked started things was aggressive dawah. Muslims claimed that islam wasn't a matter of faith, they could actually prove their religion was true. There was a lot of propaganda and lies, and as most people weren't as familiar with islam as christianity, they had less information about it so weren't able to easily counter dawah arguments. Fortunately nowadays more and more people are learning about islam. Once a good portion of people in the UK actually are familiar with the islamic narrative, the dawah boys won't have a leg to stand on.
`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'
