Report talks about the risk of a brain drain by British Muslim middle class. They are 65% more likely to leave relative to the average Brit (while the avg British Muslim is 50% more likely to leave).
Its recommendation are all govt policies, which I disagree with. Change will not happen within the system, there is disdain and a lack of trust within it as there is a constant feeling of ulterior motive.
Wealthy Muslims always flocked to UAE, however now that middle-class British Muslims are genuinely considering it, it is worrying times for the British Muslim community. The brain drain of intellectuals, professionals and entrepreneurs will deteriorate Muslim presence in British places of significance and while there are some obvious sell-outs (esp politicians), a lot of these middle-class are principled and have ambition so it really is a potential crisis.
I attended a British Muslim leadership event held by Oxford University a while back with so many of the speakers were Muslims within different professions who remained principled to their religion, great orators and had expertise. That is far greater brain drain than those with knowledge leaving developing nations to developed world imo given we are so reliant on them to uphold our Deen within those spaces and to fight back against British institutional racism that goes under the radar.
I hate to be a doomer but unlike the American counterparts who had a significant impact on the US elections, the British Muslim community is in deep crisis with its political power already weak but its economic power going to be drained.
What is the future for British Muslims?
