I found that difficult to completely believe until I found this.

Earlier this year Bishop of Rochester Michael Nazir-Ali sparked a controversy when he declared that Islamism is filling the void left by Britain's abandonment of its Christian roots, to the point that some parts of the UK are now "no-go areas" for non-Muslims. Recent events vividly underscore his message.
Last February a pair of Baptist missionaries distributing leaflets in Birmingham, England, encountered an apparent no-go area firsthand — with police serving as its enforcers:
Two Christian preachers were stopped from handing out Bible extracts by police because they were in a Muslim area, it was claimed yesterday.
They say they were told by a Muslim police community support officer that they could not preach there and that attempting to convert Muslims to Christianity was a hate crime.
The community officer is also said to have told the two men: "You have been warned. If you come back here and get beat up, well, you have been warned."
The preachers — Americans who are longtime residents of the UK — contend that such treatment violated their rights of religious expression: "This is a free country and to suggest we were guilty of a hate crime for spreading God's word is outrageous."

Christians Warned Not to Evangelize British Muslims - Islamist Watch Blog
Imagine if there were places in America you couldn't go because it was Muslim.
Imagine if there were places in America where you could not proselytize because it would be considered a hate crime.
Imagine if a Muslim cop in America told you that you could not go into the Muslim area and if you did not leave that the onus was on you, "You have been warned. If you come back here and get beat up, well, you have been warned."
That is outrageous and whoever it was who said they thought the Islamization of the UK was exaggerated has a strange frame of reference.
But the comment I highlighted above is absolutely an eye opener.
Read it again:
"...Islamism is filling the void left by Britain's abandonment of its Christian roots..."
I don't know about you but I have always wondered why I got the feeling that SOME (not all) of the same people who were defending Islamism and criticizing American policies who SAID they were atheists seemed less than genuine. But without a motive for Muslims doing this I just made a mental note of this and moved on.
Until I read the line above. And that was the missing piece of the puzzle.
Muslims may not only masquerade as Bush hating liberals but they may also be hiding in atheists clothing!
Why?
To deplete America, as much as possible, of our Christian roots so they can some day offer to become the answer to our societal woes.
Islam.
A CHANGE from Christianity!
Ladies and Gents, they are thinking RINGS around us.
