Abstract
The question of the integration of Muslim immigrant communities in Britain has to be understood as part of two much wider problems. The first of these is the increasingly sharp confrontation between countries seeing themselves as Islamic on the one hand and the Christian and secular West on the other. The second is that of Muslim immigration into the European Community and other European countries. Muslim immigration in Britain has to be seen as partly reflecting these larger problems, but has also to be differentiated from them.
