Logic tells me that based on the population of TV, there are some.
So you say if there are no Muslims living here, it isn't relevant to publish an article about Ramadan in the newspaper?
That is what these posts are all about.
Based on your opinion that it isn't relevant, if there are no monks living here, does that make the topic of monks and their religion of no interest or importance ...
That the paper should never have any kind of article regarding monks?
Regarding Jihadists in the UK, that has no bearing on this topic which is about every day peaceful Muslims.

I wish to God you were right. I don't think many people could tell you the differences and beliefs of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism and Taoism, Shinto and Confucianism. In fact many people can't tell you the difference between what a Cistercian Monk and a Jesuit Priest do all day. Or what a Seventh Day Adventist or a Morman believes and does. It is very difficult to know just who is observant in their faith and who is not.
I would say that in the world today, only one religion says that a person should either be observant or dead.
But not all people follow closely the tenants of their faith. Again I say, Thank God.
