LONDON: According to study by the Institute for the Impact of Faith in Life (IIFL), the majority of British Muslims concur that their faith and cultural heritage are intertwined.
60% of British Muslims, according to a nationally representative survey by Whitestone Insight, agree that “my faith is bound up with my cultural heritage.” This percentage rises to 68% among exclusivist Muslims, or those who believe that Islam is the only authentic faith.
Additional IIFL research showed that Muslims in the UK have a diverse spectrum of cultural and ethnic backgrounds. Of these, 39% identify as Pakistani, 14% as Bangladeshi, 10% as Black African, 9% as Arab, and 9% as Indian.
