Thread Name: BS: Fall of Religion UK/Christians now a minority
Subject: RE: BS: Fall of Religion UK/Christians now a minority
To return somewhat to the title of the thread, do you suppose that, as Christianity declines, Islam rises here in UK? I'm not prejudiced in any way about that (as I've said, my husband is a Muslim) but last week he was actually asked to watch a Government interactive video called 'Prevent' as part of in-school training for all staff.

I had a look at this interesting but rather strange video on Youtube, and it did seem to be aimed at spotting pupils who were being targeted by Muslim fundamentalists/radicals. It appeared to suggest that vulnerable, maybe lonely or depressed young students were in danger of being taken under the wing of recruiters for terrorist groups.
Has anyone come across this 'Prevent' thing? If so, have you any views about it?
My point is that 'religion' may not be falling in UK after all, but that certain sectors of religious adherents are actually flourishing.
