For me, the following quote says it all:

"My message to those Muslims who want to live in a Talibanised society, and turn their face against Britain, is this: 'If you don't like living here and don't want to integrate, then what the hell are you doing here? Why don't you just go and live in an Islamic country?'"

I know quite a bit about Saira Khan and I agree with what she said in the article. But don't expect the spineless politicans in Westminster to get tough and ban the burkha. As far as I know none of the main parties will do anything so drastic. No guesses why that is.

As to the answer to your question, I can only make a conjecture and say I imagine most Muslims who arrive here are asylum seekers who want a better quality of life at the tax payers' expense. And because our borders and immigration controls are more lax than other european countries they believe they stand a better chance to live here permanently than the first safe country they entered where there is a higher chance that will be deported.

Why else would someone who is non-English speaking, has strong Islamic views and customs alien to our own tradiotions and have lived in hot climates want to come here.
