The problems of poverty are exacerbated by racism on the streets (British Pakistani and Bangladeshi people are far more likely to be targeted in racist attacks and abuse than any other community) and by pervasive anti-Muslim hostility in the media.
You forgot to quote this bit:
A new word for an old fear
the features of Islamophobia
– Verbal and physical attacks on Muslims in public places
– Attacks on mosques and desecration of Muslim cemeteries
– Widespread and routine negative stereotypes in the media, including the broadsheets, and in the conversations and
‘common sense’ of non-Muslims –
people talk and write about Muslims in ways that would not be acceptable if the reference were to Jewish people, for example, or to black people
–
Discrimination in recruitment and employment practices, and in workplace cultures and customs
–
Bureaucratic delay and inertia in responding to Muslim requests for cultural sensitivity in education and healthcare and in planning applications for mosques
–
Lack of attention to the fact that Muslims in Britain are disproportionately affected by poverty and social exclusion
– Non-recognition of Muslims in particular, and of religion in general, by the law of the land, since up until recently
discrimination in employment on grounds of religion has been lawful and discrimination in the provision of services is still lawful
– Anomalies in public order legislation, such that Muslims are less protected against incitement to hatred than members of certain other religions
– Laws curtailing civil liberties that disproportionately affect Muslims.

I am surprised you failed to mention all these cutbacks Muslims face and despite that Muslims are still going on...amazing accomplishment! What's the problem with Indians and the 25% shouldnt it be 0% since they dont face all these? What about British White?
Sure you dont care nor does it effect you!
