Westminster Houses

Many scholarly articles refer to Mohammad Sarwar as Britains first (known) Muslim MP, who was elected in 1997 in Govan, Glasgow, Scotland at the 1997 general election.[1] In 2001 Sarwar was re-elected, along with Khalid Mahmood,[2] who became Britain's second Muslim MP, in the Birmingham Perry Barr constituency.[2] By the 2005 general elections, the figure of Muslim MP's had doubled,[1] with Sadiq Khan (of the Tooting constituency[3]) and Shahid Malik (of the Dewsbury constituency[3]) achieving parliamentary status, along with Sarwar and Mahmood.[3] Sarwar was in his third term by now, closely followed behind by Mahmood who'd secured a second term. The 2010 general election quadrupled Muslim representation from 2001,[1] bringing the total number of Muslim MP's to eight.[1] The 2010 general election also saw the first women of Muslim (and Asian) background were first elected.[4] The three,[1] Rushanara Ali[4] (of the Bethnal Green and Bow constituency[4]), Shabana Mahmood[4] (of the Birmingham Ladywood constituency), and Yasmin Qureshi[4] (of the Bolton South East constituency), all achieved the title simultaneously. The first British Iraqi Muslim also achieved the status of MP in the same election. The majority of the Muslim MP's are however from the British Pakistani community. Jonathan Sayeed, who is of partial Indian Muslim descent,[n. 48] and George Galloway—who is said to be a convert to Islam[n. 49]—are not publicly known as Muslims and there is some confusion over whether they are Muslim. Although there is strong evidence for him being Muslim, Zahawi has never really said what religion he is.[n. 50]

Muslims are also present in the House of Lords, which is known to have a long history stretching back to the 14th Century.[5] It was primarily England's archbishops, bishops, abbots, priors and noblemen who attended and formed the House during it's infancy.[5] By the early 15th century attendance "was on an almost entirely hereditary basis" with almost no new lords appointed in subject to entry.[5] Despite birth determining peerage, Britain's Muslim community however, can directly trace an organic heritage to this system of Lordship and hereditary peerage through Henry Stanley (also known later as Abdul Rahman), who was the 3rd Baron Stanley of Alderley, who was a convert to the Islamic faith during the Victorian era. Modern Muslim peerages however came as a result of England's turbulent history between the 16th and 20th Centuries.[5] The 18th Century was especially significant for all peers, as it was in this period when drastic changes were introduced to the way the Lords operated when England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland formed a Union based upon the Acts of Union (1707) (Scotland) and Acts of Union (Ireland) (1800).[5] However the most important reforms would come later for minorities in the 20th Century, where acts such as the Life Peerages Act (1958) and the House of Lords Act (1999), finally allowed minorities to enter the House of Lords in significant numbers.[5] In total there have been at least seventeen known Muslim Lords and Baronesses. The majority of these are of Pakistani background, but the Lords and Baronesses contains more diversity, compared to MP's.

  49. ^ There have been rumours that Galloway converted to Islam, which comes chiefly from Jemima Khan (who is the British Jewish ex-wife—now convert to Islam—of the famous Pakistani Muslim cricketer Imran Khan), who claimed that he had converted to Islam in 2002. According to the Guardian; Quote: "The newly elected MP for Bradford West does not deny being a Muslim, but says Khan's claim of a conversion in a hotel in Kilburn, north-west London, is "simply and categorically untrue". Galloway is often asked about his faith but refuses to answer, saying his religion is a "personal matter" of no import to his political activities. He recently married his fourth wife in what has been reported was a Muslim ceremony in Amsterdam". The Guardian went on to state; Quote: "In a statement entitled "The Staggers has fallen on its face", Galloway responded to the New Statesman piece by saying: "The opening paragraph of Jemima Khan's piece in the New Statesman [referring to an alleged conversion ceremony] is totally untrue. Moreover, I told her it was fallacious when she put it to me. I have never attended any such ceremony in Kilburn, Karachi or Kathmandu. It is simply and categorically untrue".

  50. ^ Zahawi is of Kurdish-Iraqi origin. The likelihood of him being Muslims is quite high. Furthermore, during the Trump Administrations Muslim Ban of 2017, Zahawi could not get into the United States. The problem is, Christians were affected by this ban too, although the Trump Administraiton said Christians would be exempted. However, there is no current indications as to whether Zahawi is Christian.

    However, what is known is that Zahawi is a famous Muslim name, as evidence from history, who was a pioneer of women's rights.
