Few UK imams 'come from Britain'

Only eight per cent of imams preaching in British mosques were born in the UK, BBC-commissioned research suggests.
The research, for BBC News and the BBC Asian Network, also suggests that only 6% of imams in Britain speak English as a first language.

I would say less than that, before i put the link in i have highlighted some areas of interest,
The general secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain, Muhammad Abdul Bari, told the BBC imams were essential to an EFFECTIVE STRATEGY.The imams were "overwhelmingly" qualified in the traditional Islamic curriculum, which he said had CHANGED LITTLE SINCE MEDIEVAL TIMES.
