Birmingham Muslims pull their kids out of LGBT-inclusive lessons

What is a westernised Muslim? And is there a difference between a westernised and Western Muslim?

Many Muslims living in the west may as well be living in the country that their culture belongs to.

Moderate Muslims living in Islamic communities in the West must find it very difficult to become westernised.

You may not know or even want to know but ISIS does know.

Islam is not one monolithic thing - like any other religion, it comes in many shapes, sizes, and colours. That includes the Daesh/IS version, but is not limited to it.

If Islam were just a religion, it would not be of such concern to non-Muslims.

Islam is not like any other religion.

You didn't really answer my question.

Majority of us Muslims in the West don't find it difficult to practice our religion in the West and take part in society.Majority of us are law abiding citizens who work, study and pay taxes. I'm sincerly confused, why do you assume it's so difficult for us? We have been living in the West for generations, so the majority of us are more Western than Eastern so I don't know what country or culture you are talking about we have to go back to.

Do you defend the rights of the LGBT community?

Puh-Lease..the only thing ISIS knows is killing and opression. They are a extremist minority with a political agenda, they have killed more Muslims than non Muslims.
They don't represent Islam or the 1.6 bilion Muslims around the World.

Islam has a political agenda. That is the problem. If it were only a religion, it would not be a problem for non-Muslims.

Where as Christianity has no political agenda
Have you seen US politics?
How many Bishops do we have in the UK Parliament? Currently there are 26. How many Imams? Currently 0
Why is assisted dying illegal in the UK?
Look at faith schools.

I could go on, but I'm sure you get the point.

Are Christians using mob rule on the streets of Britain because they do not want their children to be educated about inclusivity of minorities.

You are describing UKIP and Britain First rallies - they are Mob Rule.. Why is it ok for them to protest in that way but not ok for Muslims?
