I would recommend anyone here to read stuff by Hamza Yusuf (not to be mistaken for Abu Hamza), and you will draw a lot of positiveness from what renowned scholars are saying about Islam.
The problem in the UK is that we've had front page coverage of rantings by Abu Hamza, and similar idiots while the press seem to ignore the speeches given by scholars such as Hamza Yusuf who actually have a much larger following then the extremist element.
I would also recommend Zaid Shakir to those who want to hear more from visionary islamic scholars
