Britain's Muslim population identify with Britain more than the general population, a surprise new poll has found.
A Gallup survey found 77 per cent of Muslims said they "identified with the UK", compared to just 50 per cent of the public at large.
Seventy-five per cent of the Muslims questioned also said they identify with their religion.
"This research shows that many of the assumptions about Muslims and integration couldn't be more wide of the mark," said Dalia Mogahed, executive director of the Gallup Centre for Muslim Studies.
"British Muslims want to be part of the wider community and contribute to society however in many cases it is a harsh economic reality that holds them back and stops them from realising their full potential."
