Yes there is quite a large muslim community in Birmingham. There are also a number of Islamic schools too.

I live about 15 minutes or so away from there.
As Amirsaab said there is a massive Muslim community there. Some parts; Alumrock Road, Ladypool Road, Soho Road etc are 98% Muslim areas. Every other person wondering the streets is in Islamic clothing.
Plenty of segregated schools and madrasah's, :)
Oh my Mum says to mention that they have loads of cheap, good quality, vegetables and fruit in the markets :giggling:

Yep. Birmingham is a very multi-cultural and vibrant place. Lots of people from different faiths and cultural backgrounds. :)

It has a lot of muslims, but I personally wouldn't want to move there, don't really hear a lot of good things about people there. (Not saying every person there is bad, I'm sure there is good people as well.)

Depends on the area, there's good areas and bad areas, if you live in a nice area its good place to live, very big Muslim community.


In the 2001 census 16.8% of the Birmingham population identified themselves as Muslim. This is significantly higher than the average for England and Wales of 3.0%.
The Muslim community in Birmingham is considered one of the most diverse after London with a wide spectrum of people originally from Africa, Eastern Europe, Southern Europe, Western Asia and other Asian countries. Although the earliest Muslims to arrive in Birmingham and England generally are said to have been from Yemen and the regions of South Asia now known as Bangladesh, it is the Kashmiri community from Mirpur in Pakistan who form the largest group of migrated Muslims. The majority of the Muslims in Birmingham continue to be born abroad as more and more migrants arrive into the city although the number of British-born Muslims and those who convert to the faith are said to be near 50% of the total Muslim population. More recent Muslim settlers hail from Somalia, Kosovo and Algeria and neighbouring nations.

Asslamu Aliakum,

It depends on what you want. There is a large Muslim community in Birmingham, many Islamic schools and mosques. Keep in mind, there are some Muslims that are not practicing. In addition, finding a job in Birmingham is difficult. Unemployment has affected Birmingham terribly.

i have been to Birmingham a few times but I have lived in London most of my life. There are loads of Muslims there. In a place like this you will find it difficult to have a private life. Usually everybody knows what others are doing.. but it depends what your purpose is of going there.
