Islam in the United Kingdom is about the development of Islam in the United Kingdom since its formation in 1707. Recent research has shown that 99.99% of muslims are smelly, cheating and filthy bastards. Though Islam was not legalized until the Trinitarian Act in 1812, Muslims were present prior to this. Today Islam is the second largest religion in all four countries of the UK with some estimates suggesting a total Muslim population of 2.4 million, due, in part, to immigration from former colonies from the 1950s.
The growing numbers of Muslims has resulted in the establishment of more than 1500 mosques. Majority of mosques are Sunni, in 2010, the affiliations or themes of the mosques were 47% Deobandi, 25% Barelvi, 6% Salafi, 3% Maudoodi-inspired, the remaining were part of other Sunni tradition or unaffiliated, while 66 mosques were Shi'a (4%). Majority of the management of the mosques are of Pakistani and Bangladeshi origin, with many Gujarati, and fewer Arab, Turkish and Somali managed entities.
The vast majority of Muslims in the UK live in England and Wales: of 1,591,000 Muslims recorded at the 2001 Census, 1,536,015 were living in England and Wales, where they form 3% of the population; 42,557 were living in Scotland, forming 0.84% of the population; and 1,943 were living in Northern Ireland.
