Problems a Muslim family face living in Britain
A Muslim family living in Britain face many problems in their everyday life, either in work, school, or their lifestyle. A Muslim wanting work in Britain may find it difficult to find a job as their religion means they have to pray 5 times a day. This will no doubt affect their work and the company may find a Muslim a burden as an employee.
Teenagers living in Britain will have an incredible amount of difficulty especially in their school lives. Muslim parents believe that their children should be educated in single sex schools as soon as the children reach puberty (single sex secondary schools). Some Muslim parents also believe that girls should not have an academic education. In school P.E for girls is a problem as women are not allowed to show flesh and therefore they will have to wear a tracksuit. Problem lessons in school are Sex education; Muslim parents don’t believe sex education should be taught in school. R.E is also a problem as Muslims believe the main focus is around Christianity and not on their religion. Art is a problem lesson as it focuses on the human body and shows flesh. Music, history and English are also problem lessons in school.
