These stories are often overblown by the tabloids and blogs. To a certain extent this reflects the fact that many people, in Britain and elsewhere, are sick of having “diversity” rammed down our throats. Often the complaints don’t come from Muslims but from officious council busybodies. And the health and safety thing has really got out of hand.
