Bradford has one of the highest Muslim populations out of any town in the UK.
According to the 2011 census, over 20% of the population is Pakistani, although that figure is now likely to be significantly higher.
The town suffered race riots in 2001 when its white majority population faced off with the Pakistani community, leading to 297 arrests.
Bradford’s white population shrunk from 76% in 2001 to 63% in 2011.
