In 2005, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office sponsored Peter Sanders, a British convert to Islam, to photograph Muslim life in Britain. This resulted in The Art of Integration Exhibition: Islam in Britain’s Green and Pleasant Lands, which highlights how Muslims in Britain are involved in ordinary every day activities. Sanders is internationally recognized as one of the leading photographers of the Muslim world.

These photos highlight activities undertaken by people from every ethnic or religious group living in Britain. This exhibition salutes the ordinary and the extraordinary contributions made by Muslims in everyday life of the United Kingdom: playing an integral role in medicine, law, politics and other professions. They have contributed hugely to creating the wealth and prosperity, which Muslims and non-Muslims alike enjoy in the UK today.
