I think you're missing his point, Dana. What I get from it, is that the radical Islamics, with the money and power, are pushing into Europe, especially Britain, to make sure the everyday Muslims don't escape their grasp.
The radicals are afraid the everyday Muslims might assimilate, become infected with the British/European concepts of women's rights, and the rights of Christians/Jews/Atheists to do their own thing, rather than submitting to the Clerics edicts.
This is not an attack of your friends, who are just trying to make a living and get by day to day. It's an objection to the radicals with the big bucks, making demands that the Clerics must control society, in every country.
The key phrase, Bruce, is when he calls Ken Livingston the 'Mad Mullah of multiculturalism'. In other words, multiculturalism is a failed experiment. It is a common enough argument and these are common enough tropes within the British polity at the moment, that i recognise the code words. You may not.
