Is the UK Muslim population really only 5%?

A couple of points to make.

1. The 2011 census is way out of date. The Muslim population doubled between 2001 and that census, and mid way through 2017, at that rate of growth, your numbers could understate the Muslim population by 50%. Hardly a trivial error on your part.

If you don't accept my estimate you need to explain why the population has remained static despite higher birth rates among Muslim mothers, and a much younger demographic, with a bulge at child bearing ages and fewer deaths compared to the rest of the population. And this excludes immigration, which is running at 590,000 gross a year. This is not broken down to highlight Muslims, for perhaps obvious reasons.

These numbers do not include illegal immigration. We.now know that the Grenfell Tower had many rooms sub let to illegal immigrants. Since most of the known victims were Muslim it is logical to assume that many of those sub lets were to Muslims. That is one Tower Block. What makes you believe it is not replicated up and down the country?

2. What does your survey of the over estimate of Muslims in various European countries say about how well integration of that faith group is perceived to be going?

Population and percentage of the population are not the same thing. But let's say Muslim population was doubling as a percentaged every 10 years (unproven) - that'd be a 70% increase in 7 years, so 70% increase on 5% so they'd be only 8.5% of the population this year. So 91.5% of the population of the UK would still be non-Muslim.

Most immigrants - legal or illegal - are not Muslims, because the only people who have Free Movement rights into the UK are EU citizens - and most EU citizens are not Muslim.

Then you try and use evidence that most people hugely overestimate the percentage of Muslims living in their country as evidence that they don't integrate. It's not.

If you did a poll on Jews any time before the end of World War Two there was lots of prejudice against them by the majority. Popular prejudices are not evidence those prejudices are based on fact.

I just wonder how with 5% of Muslim population the name Muhammad was the most popular name in 2015 and was the second popular name in 2016.

Current statistics say the Muslim population is only around 5%, and Indian & Pakistani population is about 4%. This seems very low. For example if you go to Bradford, Luton or any lower class town you'll probably see more Muslims than white people.

I would think the Muslim population is around 15% or more. Is the government lying about this?

It is worse than that. They are all Polish Muslims. And they are all stealing our jobs by claiming the dole.

I would guess ... this is not scientific

So why use 2 decimal places?

Why use two decimal points the answer to this is accuracy, the way I calculated it was.

as most of them are unqualified and illiterate

You can't profess accuracy for a self-confessed "unscientific" guess.

British Muslims?

Not necessarily British Muslims born and bred. Most British Muslims are good people who are normal anyway

You seem to be digging yourself a bigger hole... which people are "unqualified and illiterate"?

The terrorists and radicalised people who claim they're Muslims.

... No, not all Muslims are terrorists, they're not really stealing our jobs, as most of them are unqualified and illiterate,...

ok, but that really wasn't how you phrased it originally

Among younger demographics, there are actually more Muslims than Non-Muslim Indians (!), meaning that a lot of the youth organisations aimed at younger "South Asians" are dominated by the racially dubious Pakistanis. This is a serious problem.It means that a lot of socially vulnerable Non-Muslim Indians feel scared to seek help from charities because they are dominated by Muslims (and Muslim sympathisers for the left-wing types). Horror story. It says a lot that it's only been a few far-right outlets that have been reporting these issues.
