A new report has found many Muslim women give up on their career ambitious due to hostile professional environments

actually did so after they graduated. Unsurprising, then, that only 0.4 per cent of all journalists are Muslim.

Schools must make way for LGBT inclusion - starting with toxic religious protestors outside primary schools.

The entire planet must make room for LGBT people - starting with toxic religious homophobia.

This sort of thing has been affecting professional women in all cultures since the beginning of time. There’s nothing that says she can’t participate without drinking. Clearly there isn’t anything important to report on!!

What a bunch of nonsense. People have decided to follow a fascist religious ideology.

Bullshit! Our culture our rules or leave.

Is this the way to go, the majority have to adjust their behaviour just to suit the minority? Pretty soon the majority culture won’t exist.

This seriously is one of the most ridiculous, idiotic articles I've read in a while. So someone was invited to the pub, and asked if everyone could instead go a restuarant for a meal.. its not the same bloody thing! And then whines that she wasn't invited again. No wonder!

'British culture must make way for, and be subservient to, a (totally incompatible) Muslim religion and culture in all aspects of life', says a totally supine, gutless British Establishment and legal system. Islam

Written by a Muslim woman this piece annoys me so much . It’s an absolute cheek . Drinking alcohol is part of British culture . It may have escaped your notice but we are in Britain . You either adapt to our culture or find somewhere to live which accommodates your beliefs.

Pull down the Churches, build more Mosques, ban alcohol. Anything else we can do to panda to the anti British heritage brigade. Have a Diet Coke ffs like us recovering alcoholics who still frequent the devils hostelries without being damned for eternity.

😂 wtf? Toxic drinking? Nonsense!!!

Is this a parody account?

Commented on this article and blocked by the author. Culture of not drinking does not seem to be the only problem.

nimrashahid_ The term Islamophobia was created by conservative Muslims, apologists of Islam, and Islamists to silence the critics of Islam. Today, the same fascists, together with the RegressiveLeft, are smearing with that term those who dare to oppose them and their ideas.

'Toxic drinking culture' 🙄

nimrashahid_ Attending the so-called drinks-centred networking event doesn't mean that you have to drink. I don't drink, and it never crossed my mind that I should be granted special privileges because of that.

So many things wrong with this headline

I feel excluded because I don’t play golf and the bastards who get the promotions all play golf with the directors. I feel excluded. Poor poor me.

Lazy, v poor journalism again from The Independent!

I'll drink to that.

So you will have to ban all Kuffars as well as men in the workplace in the form of customers, clients or patients as well as get the family's permission in order for their daughter to work there. Muslim women have the family honor to protect.

Afraid its just journos who go for wet lunches.

They can always return from whence they came

This actually feels more like being beaten around the head with Muslim disapproval of our culture.

No one is obliged to drink alcohol in a pub or bar. Other options are available. I have teetotal friends who are quite happy to meet & socialise in an environment where others are drinking alcohol.

Also please fix all the typos and errors in this piece .

I would argue drinking culture is especially exclusionary to Muslims who don't drink because there's an extra layer of potential xenophobia, but drinking culture is damaging to *everyone* who doesn't drink (and the livers of those who do too, of course).

I have a better idea. Muslim should start drinking!

No.

Absolutely. Our toxic work culture of drinking alcohol until we are physically ill in order to be seen as 'one of the lads' is deeply unhealthy. It's just a macho hangover from the last century that is detrimental to women. It's as inappropriate in the workplace as page 3 pinups

Author of the article likes to block any responses (she was tagged in the OP before the Indy deleted and re-posted), so what's the point in offering this up for discussion? Maybe she knows it's indefensibly stupid?

Crap

So...everybody else has to modify their behaviour and not drink. Rule of the few over many. What don't they just join in and NOT drink? They wear headscarves and others don't in their workplace and that seems fine, so what's the problem?

Absolute rubbish !! What about alcoholics and diabetics, sometimes people have to bend to their environment not the environment bend to them .

Can't agree. If you apply for a job where alcohol is sold, but you refuse to serve alcohol because of religious beliefs then you should not apply for that job to begin with. It is, afterall, a term and a condition of your employment.

Have they never heard of orange juice and cola. Will they ever stop playing the victim card FFS.

Yawn. Are there not bigger issues in the world?

I’d say: Let them drink themselves to death :)

How does drinking prevent Muslim women from working? 😐

Imagine... a sober Johnson and a sober Farage and no god left to guide them. (shudders)

WTF!

Drink if you want to. This is religious zealotry gone mad

I thought our aim as a society is multiculturalism, this is going the opposite direction

Not all Muslims are t-total.

dougiep2018 FolesFootlong thats correct any1 drinking outside work will be escorted off the premises immediatly.

Drinking is part of British culture. Why should we change that?

Islamic countries make so many allowances for their religious minorities.

How cheap clothes end up rotting into a soup AfricaWhile Ghana has enjoyed a flourishing second-hand clothes market for more than half a century, the deluge of worn garments arriving there is overwhelming the country's infrastructure. 🤢Gross Rubbish Here's an idea. Stop sending anything to Africa, e.g., money, etc. How long have they been on that continent? Not a single boat was ever built. Not a single library in antiquity without the help of the 'White Devil'. I personally am sick and tired of hearing them complain.
