Some people, both Muslim and not, have been working towards this for a number of years, it looks like it might finally be paying off. Of course the element of compulsion is not going to be welcome, but actually it is of a piece with the citizenship approach being taken to immigration where English speaking and broad support of British institutions is being sought, if I've understood correctly. A bit of a shock to those of us who reflexively work by the principle that we can't interfere in a faith community's internal polity unless we are insiders, but after years of consultation and a good measure of support from British Muslims, I guess this is warrented.
