You mean rather than a secular dominant country? I know you're not suggesting that people are turning away from christianity and converting to islam.
70% of the population say they are christians, but 70% of the population do not regularly attend churches, so if they're not needed, it's right that they close. Remember, you don't have to go to church to be a christian.
Incidently, a tiny 4% of the population are muslim.

There are over 47,000 churches in Britain, compared with only 1,500 mosques.
So seriously, unless you are suggesting people are converting from christian and secular views to islam, how exactly would Britain be considered a dominant Muslim country?

Are you concerned about the decline in the number of churches, or the possibility that there could one day be fewer churches than mosques?
If so, how would you increase the number of churches without forcing religion onto people?
