That's a question I'd like to know the answer to frodo.
I agree in principal people should be able to do what they like if they pay their taxes and whatnot, but these 'no-go zones' which have formed are geniunely bad places for people of non-muslim faith or non asian backgrounds to be. Now I'm sorry, but if I went over to Pakistan, along with say, 200,000 christians, and started taking over entire areas, posting up signs saying 'No asians allowed in this area after 7pm' you think Pakistan would be fine with that? Hell no they wouldn't.
And to say that this division is not causing problems in the UK is willfully ignorant. It's all well and good them coming from another culture and everything, but for fuck sake if you're living in the UK be a part of UK society. There isn't this problem with any other major group of people that I know of.
