Sunny Loughran argues that Britain's anti-migrant friction is driven by anti-Islam sentiment, fueled by a failure to distinguish between the Muslim religion and political Islamism. Islamism is an authoritarian ideology seeking to replace democratic laws with Sharia law.
Loughran reports that counter-extremism experts estimate between 10% and 20% of British Muslims harbor Islamist sympathies. While many British Muslims hold socially conservative views, most are unfamiliar with Islamism and do not support violent extremism.
Ken McCallum states that Islamist extremism accounts for three-quarters of the agency's counter-terrorism workload. Rather than resorting to violence, many domestic Islamists employ entryism to gain influence within local schools, councils, and police liaison groups.
Loughran points out that despite Islamist campaigns to scrap the government's Prevent counter-radicalization program for discrimination, Islamist extremism made up only a small fraction of referrals. A 2023 review found that discrimination narratives created hesitation in reporting threats.
Loughran emphasizes that the primary victims of British Islamism are other Muslims, particularly women and secular minority groups. An estimated Sharia council network operates in Britain, with some critics warning these councils enable domestic coercion and misogyny.
