United Kingdom Muslim society is strongly radicalise and majority of Muslims who migrated to UK after early 80s belong to Wahabi sect of Islam because western countries were avoiding to provide visas and immigrations to Shia sect of Islam after Iranian revolution and stiff relations of Shias with Western world. This situation encouraged other sects of Islam mostly Wahabis to travel to Europe and North America because every country had specific annual quota to release visas and beneficiaries were non-Shias.
