And as someone else points out, the most obvious immigrant group - Poles - tend to be Christian in much higher numbers than native Brits. Our local Catholic church is literally packed out the door on major saints days. So I imagine your viewpoint is designed to, what? Encourage division and hatred? Certainly it's lack of basis in reality suggests an ulterior motive.
To be fair, British Muslims as a group do tend to be much more militant than Polish Christians as a group so your underlying assumption that Polish Christians will in some way pacify radical Muslims is somewhat questionable.
After all, how many Polish Christians have demanded the death or prosecution of someone who has insulted Christianity?

That's not my underlying assumption at all. Because I don't acknowledge that radical muslims are a threat that requires pacification in any urgent sense.

And if you really want to play that game one can point to umpteen examples of irrational and violent Christian behaviour.

You are probably correct. I would however argue that cultural integration of immigrants should be a leading priority.
It is interesting nonetheless that in the BBC article in the OP, objections to the behaviour of some Muslims in the capital was the highest ranking readers comment. Clearly, it is widely held perspective even if it is not one you share yourself.

True, but unless those violent Christians were being irrational and violent in London and arguably playing a role in pushing people out of the capital, such examples would be irrelevant.

I will accept your theory when I start hearing of Polish Catholic priests on street corners inciting Catholics to violence. Your leftist urge to treat all cultures as equal has led to your nation and mine to become cesspools. At some point, the pendulum will begin to swing the other way. At that time, "cultural corrections" will be made.

I was addressing the op who is kinda making out that white londoners are a bunch of racist who are leaving because of immigrants.

Why not just shoot them as they come off the boat or plane?
strawman:
By exaggerating, misrepresenting, or just completely fabricating someone's argument, it's much easier to present your own position as being reasonable, but this kind of dishonesty serves to undermine honest rational debate.

I love how they state
white Brits are now in a minority in London, making up just 45% of its residents.
How does 45% of a population constitute a minority when the other 55% is made up of MINORITIES?
Mixed 405,279 5.0% = Minority
Asian 1,511,546 18.4% = Minority
Black 1,088,640 13.3% = Minority
Arab 106,020 1.3% = Minority
Any other ethnic group 175,021 2.1% = Minority(all above = 40.1%)
White 4,887,435 59.8% = Not a Minority even if White British 3,669,284 44.9%
