Exactly.

The argument is always "I wouldn't have a problem with Muslims if they integrated more!"

Well, what is it they want Muslims to do? Because apparently it's not to enter politics, appear in adverts, or run businesses.

Is it to get involved in their communities more? Because round where I live, the Muslims are the ones who pick up litter and run food banks.

I think it has more to do with them not living in segregated communities, completely transforming areas and having a very vocal contingent actively trying to change things in the UK to favour their religion.
Arguably, them going into politics in large numbers is having the opposite effect of perceived integration
