gwaansays...Cheers bizinichi!
Fletchsays...Since the role of Imams is mentioned, is he speaking exclusively, or even largely, of Shia Muslims? If so, since Sunni make up the largest proportion of Muslims in the world, is it the same in Britain, or does it even matter?

You're confusing the role of an imam, with the doctrine of imamship. An imam leads prayer in a mosque for both Sunni and Shi'a Muslims. But only the Shi'a believe in the doctrine of imamship (imamiyyah) - that after Muhammad God appointed specific infallible leaders - the imams - to lead and guide mankind. The largest school of Shi'a Islam - the twelvers (اثنا عشرية) Ithnā ˤashariyyah - recognise 12 Imams.
