It depends on the area of Birmingham.
The area I live in Muslims are basically mythical beings, they're such a rare sight. Go to where my Nan lives and she's the only Non-Muslim.
It's estimated around 1/4 of people in Birmingham are Muslim now, but they're very concentrated in particular wards. I only knew a few growing up tbh, one of my best friends in school came from a very westernised Iranian family who fled after Khomeini's counter-revolution.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie
