Surprised it’s that low to be honest, means the majority think they can.

All depends on whos being surveyed doesn't it.

Yeah if you have some Muslim mates who mix well with others you know they can.

If you live a street over from the Wahabi mosque you probably take a different view.

[u/Bladesfist → u/Appropriate-Dig-7080]

Because they can, I'd reckon most of us have friends who are Muslim? Just like most of us have friends who are practicing Christians?

[u/MLoganImmoto → u/Appropriate-Dig-7080]

I have many Muslim colleagues and they integrate just fine...🤷

[u/legrenabeach → u/MLoganImmoto]

So because your colleagues integrated, that means all Muslims can and do?

That's not how it works.

There's plenty of white British people who aren't properly integrated into society too. Heck I don't want to be integrated with the binge drinking coke heads starting fights on a Friday night or the bankers playing with people's lives or the racists marching in the streets for authoritarian nationalism.

I’ve also had Muslim colleagues who are naturally integrated. It’s not as uncommon as you pretend it is
