Hi,
It is wrong perception. Islam is the largest practiced faith on the planet and Muslims are most practicing people among all religions
http://religion.blogs.cnn.com/2011/12/03/conflict-theology-and-history-make-muslims-more-religious-than-others-experts-say/
So most Muslims are really committed to their faith globally and most Muslims are good, nice people. You mistakenly see "extremist" Muslims as "practicing", which is wrong in my opinion.
Also, in England, Muslims have more problems than say in U.S.A. I don't know why..
Khair anyways, this is my first post...welcome me and ask me anything about Pakistani Punjab, Islam, or how Muslims see Sikhs in our region etc. I'll learn from you guys too Inshallah..
Cheers :biggrin2:
