BRITAIN is home to more than 3 million Muslims for the first time ever with more than half born outside the UK, according to new figures.

Soaring immigration and sky high birth rates have seen the number in the country double in a little over a decade.

Some parts of London are now almost 50 per cent Islamic, according to analysis from the Office for National Statistics.

Followers of Islam now make up one in every 20 people within the country. Full Report
