Many believe multiculturalism improves UK society
The majority of British Muslims believe clerics in the UK should be made to preach in the English language, a BBC survey suggests.
The Mori poll for the BBC found 65% of Muslims backed such a move, compared with 39% of the national population.

u should listen to us talk to famil from back home
other then "Ji" (yes) and "teek hoo" (I'm fine) repeated at least a hundred times
we dont have anything else to say
but like u we also have no problem understanding the langauge-its speaking it which is hard

we all communicate in urdu wiv the elders. english amongst us cousins. theres only that 1 uncle i cant communicate with at all. the rest speak urdu coz its whats taught to all our family. the elders speak punjabi amongst themselves rarely, but they dont like it when we do.
i guess urdu sounds moe polite
