It’s about 7.5%, or less than 1 in every 10 people. When you consider that Muslims are the second largest religious group in the world (around 23% of worldwide population) after Christians, it turns out they’re very under-represented and not a very large group at all in the UK.
7.5% is a big number. It's nowhere near as a majority, bit it's significant, especially for the culture from another continent. It's not like that 23% of the worldwide population comes from Europe anyway.

A projected rise of 0.8% from 2010 to 2020 isn’t particularly terrifying. Compare that to the 3.9% increase in unaffiliated people over the same period, which is bigger even than the 3.4% estimated rise of Muslim population from 2010 to 2050.

I’m sure somewhere there’s people crowing about how the atheists are going to out-populate the religious folk and murder them all, but we would dismiss that as silly scaremongering, wouldn’t we?
I bet there are atheists who'd gladly murder religious people if they had an opportunity. Being an atheist alone does not make you a civilized person like us.

The purpose of the survey isn’t to gather accurate demographic statistics, it’s to compare public perception with the actual statistics. This is a useful comparison to do because it can give an indication of public opinion and perception – in this case it indicates potential biases, discriminations, and negative opinion of Muslims among the general population.

But please, continue with your dumb strawman.
How saying the percentage of muslims in France indicates you're biased towards them?

Read it. The narrator gives valid arguments for the position then changes his mind purely due to virtue signalling from his friends whom he considered SJWs. The whole thing makes no sense.

Plus, there's that one guy who claims he made up the article as a joke. He didn't explicitly prove it, so that's in no way a hard evidence, but considering the inconsistent nature of the article, I find his claim very plausible.

France also has a very small prison population – 68,514, around 0.1% of the total population (France’s population is around 66.03 million people). When you have a very low population you’re going to get skewed statistics; add in that ethnic minorities are more likely to be over-represented in prisons, and France’s historically poor record of integrating Muslims, and guess what happens?
How big does the prison population need to be to satisfy you? 70 thousand people are a reliable sample for statistics.

Also, it's not France's fault the Muslims in prison weren't willing to integrate. Do you think the migrants would continue migrating to France if it was so hostile towards them?

I know right? We should just call them what they really are: fascists.
How does what Vlam posted make him a fascist?? Are you insane? I thought YOU were the one accusing ME of making strawmans.
