Speaking for my own experience in the UK: outside of the big cities, there are very few Muslims. There were a couple in my year at school, but they certainly weren't first generation immigrants. They were totally integrated with the community and were nice, funny, normal people. I feel a bit ridiculous having to talk about them in this way.
At uni there are perhaps 3 or 4 in my year, and again, they are normal people. There's also the same kind of number of Jewish people who are just as nice, but if anything I'd say they are more cliquey than the Muslims.
Basically there's no huge influx of Muslims, and even if there were, the people of Islam are no more inherently undesirable than people of other religions, or indeed just people in general, so who cares?
