Brits Converting to Islam

A report indicates that a noticeable number of British citizens are converting to Islam because, converts assert, of their adversity to UK alcohol consumption, sexual permissiveness and unrestrained consumerism. Frankly, their reasoning sounds rehearsed.
A study conducted by Swansea University for the British group Faith Matters has found that UK citizens are increasingly interested in Islam, with the number of converts to Islam nearly doubling in 10 years.

An estimated total of 100,000 have converted to Islam, 5,200 of them in 2010.

In 2001, it was estimated that 60,000 British citizens had converted to Islam.

Of the most recent converts, two-thirds are women. Most are white and native to Britain. The average age of new converts is 27.

One in four believe there is a “natural conflict” between being devoutly Muslim and being a British citizen. More than half said they had met with a negative response from family regarding their conversion.
Given that the population of the United Kingdom exceeds 62 million, 100,000 is not a comparably large number of converts.

Nevertheless, we must remember that time changes everything and today's mighty scenic view inhibitor, cultist hugging station and solar panel blocker was once a simple nut. Therefore, it's a good idea to keep an eye on the simple nuts.
