I'm going to make this short and simple because I never lived in the UK. I don't have a good idea of what Muslims are like over there.
But, what I've been reading so far, it seems that the British Muslims tend to live in their own segregated communities, and have these certain "no go" areas, which makes the non-Muslims a little bit unwelcome for that reason. But the idea of "no go" may be due to the the non-Muslims feeling like foreigners in their own country and thus leading them to invent such a word. Another reason for the existence of such isolated communities may be caused by incidents of racist victimization of incoming Asian and/or Muslim families. I don't if this is true, but that's a possibility. Therefore, I think it's quite possible that the division is mostly influenced by racial views rather than by religious views.
The main threats comes from extremists, be it religious extremists or political extremists. I don't know if a lot of them exist in Britain. But, remember that there are 1.6 to 1.8 million British Muslims, and the media and self-interested parties will tend to focus on the handful of crazy Muslims they can find to justify their own agenda of hate and division. So, it would be far more conducive to focus on the views of the mainstream British Muslims. And I'm sure that most of them are not dangerous. They are decent people just like many of the Christians living there.
There may be a few schools, mosques, clubs, etc. which preach an 'extreme' form of Islam, and while most Muslims do not agree with this small minority, it seems as if their views are spreading further and further and affecting the country more negatively. But, what can you do now? Ban all the faith schools and mosques in the UK? No, but I think it would be a better thing to monitor the kids, especially the Muslim ones, to have a better influence as they are growing up so that there aren't radicalized and that they can be a good British citizen at the same time.
To many, of course, the spread of Islam is like the spreading of a mental virus. However, I will not argue with that because that is their own view since they don't believe in God and religion in the first place.
