Yes, of course, it's all up to the British. You will notice that Badawi says nothing about Muslims having any responsibility to adapt to British culture. You will notice that Muslim leaders never say that about Muslims in the West.

Malaysian president Abdullah Badawi calls for British Muslims to live under sharia law - Telegraph

From your own source...

Quote:

"They should abide by the law of the land, but they should also be able to follow their religious observances and beliefs, to express their duty to God.."

The Malaysian Prime Minister acknowledged that Muslims must also play their part in proving their value as immigrants.

"If they want to be respected then they must do something for the community," he said.

"They must not be a liability. They have to be an asset."

It's all fuel to the fire of discussing social problems. I'd rather it was done openly and with respect to the dominant culture of the land and I believe that could be encompassed within the requirement that Muslims engage and play a positive role in their new communities. If they ostracise themselves they simply keep the current problems "on the burner."
