Muslims represent only 4.7 per cent of the population in England and Wales, according to the most recent Census, yet one in seven prisoners (14 per cent) in England and Wales is a Muslim, according to the statistics.
In some jails the proportion of Islamic inmates is more than one-third, and in Whitemoor, a Category A prison in Cambridgeshire, it is as high as 43 per cent.
The Muslim prison population has increased from 5,502 (7.7 per cent) in 2002 to 11,729 in 2013 (14 per cent) and is set to continue rising rapidly because of the large numbers of Muslim teenagers in youth jails.

Muslim Council of Britain report
Quote:
MoMore up-to-date data on the prison population
is available from the Ministry of Justice. These
indicate that there were 86,067 people in
prison in England and Wales as of July 2013,
approximately 0.15% of the overall population.
Muslims account for 4.8% of the overall
population and 13% of the prison population
in England and Wales (including both British
and non-British nationals).

Don't know the exact figures, but is is obvious that the biggest group committing these type of (supposedly) motiveless attacks are Muslims.
