Though a growing share of the British population is anxious about Islam, they have no reason to be. Islamism, a fringe ideology that believes government and society should be guided by Islamic principles, may be more of a concern. America cracks down on multinationals’ efforts to shift profits overseas. And why corporate training videos are virtually useless.

Hello, and welcome to The Intelligence from The Economist.
I'm Rosie Blau.

A lot of this anti-migrant angst is actually anti-Islam.
A poll last year suggested that more than half of people agreed
that Islam is incompatible with British values.

were failing to make an ever more important distinction.
The idea that Muslims are somehow incompatible with British culture is nonsense.
Some of it, frankly, is racist.
