It would be a mistake to assume that because British Muslims seldom vote conservative, they don't hold conservative values. Studies show that socially, they are much more conservative than the general population.

It is likely that the UK conservative party and conservative Muslims are trying to conserve different things and Labour is friendlier to specifically Muslim issues.

It only benefits people who hold conservative values to vote conservative when they live somewhere where the traditions & values conservatives are trying to conserve are the same ones that they hold.

A conservative Christian who moved to Pakistan would be much more likely to vote for the most liberal party available because this would give them the best chance of living as a conservative Christian. The most conservative party would not be good for them.

This probably also explains why the LGBT in the US overwhelmingly vote democrat but are equally divided between left & right voting in the UK. An LGBT person whose moral foundations are conservative cannot vote conservative when conservative values oppose their rights.

Our conservative party has not been friendly to LGBT issues historically at all but now that equal rights have been granted, those who do favour conservative values otherwise can find themselves more in tune with the conservative party.

So, if you were to say to a left-voting British Muslim, "You lefties want to destroy the family, deny gender differences and make everyone use preferred pronouns", you'd have a very high chance of missing the ball entirely.
