A government report has slammed high unemployment rates among Muslim women, blaming “Islamophobia” amongst other factors. The report, by the Women and Equalities Committee, claims that “Muslim people suffer the greatest economic disadvantages of any group in society” because 41 per cent are “economically inactive” and do not pay taxes – almost twice the rate of the general population. More than 65 per cent of the Muslims making no economic contribution to British society are women. Despite the report also revealing that around half of those women were kept at home to do housework, four of the five explanations given related to a lack of resources and supposed discrimination – the other was “pressure from traditional families”. “The impact of Islamophobia on Muslim women should not be underestimated,” the reports insists. “They are 71 [per cent] more likely than white Christian women to be unemployed, even when they have the same educational level and language skills.” “We have found the reasons behind this to be varied and complex,” authors add. “They include: discrimination and Islamophobia, stereotyping, pressure from traditional families, a lack of tailored advice around higher education choices, and insufficient role models across education and employment.” Nazmin Akthar, from the Muslim Women’s Network UK, told the committee that some Muslim women “were not allowed out” and “were not allowed to speak to anybody in English”. www.breitbart.com/london/2016/08/14/uk-report-muslim-women-71-more-likely-to-be-unemployed-govt-blames-islamophobia/So let's get this straight: “They are 71 [per cent] more likely than white Christian women to be unemployed, even when they have the same educational level and language skills.” While 100% of white Christian women don't need a man's permission to go out and they can speak [English] to whomsoever they choose, whenever they choose. Islamophobia? Bollox, is it. No other group is this feeble. |

""""Nazmin Akthar, from the Muslim Women’s Network UK, told the committee that some Muslim women “were not allowed out” and “were not allowed to speak to anybody in English”""". perhaps that is the reason as this woman says rather than islamophobia  possibly..probably ... but as ever play the victim and blame some one else its so much easier than actually looking at the real problems..and altering mindsets and attitudes especially of the men... of course one could ask what is islamophobia and where did it spring from..why does islamophobia exist.. |

The impression I'm getting is that the British don't value anyone who doesn't pay taxes. |

There is a certain amount of truth in that, Joseph.
On the other hand it is simply nonsensical to blame Islamophobia for the failure of Muslim women to work.
It is a cultural tendency - particularly among Pakistani/Bangladeshi communities - for their womenfolk not to work.

Er, they treat taxpayers with contempt. absolutely.. along with all those in receipt of the tax payers largersse I doubt any one would object to paying taxes if the tax payers in general were reaping the rewards of tax paying....but the tax payer is looked upon as a cash cow to be ripped off at every turn while those who don't pay their way get away with it from the large corporates to the multinational right through to the bone idle and rip off merchants shysters and fraudsters ending with those who have never put a penny in the pot and have no intentions of doing so perhaps its time to have an adjustment...in regard to the likes of Amazon ..costa etc who do not pay their fair share all the way through to those who haven't paid into the system no pay no benefits..no more subzidised housing of any type ..free health care..education..welfare of all types....the welfare state done away with and go back to the days where you paid an insurance or did with out...it certainly would stop abuses.... but oh the wailing and gnashing of teeth..the wringing of hands.... |
