Answer 1

Because most of them are here to claim as much as they can from the benefits system, you don't need qualifications to do that, just to be cunning, which they are.

Answer 2

its against their religion to get educated? coz they see education a threat to the fundamentals of the religion.

Answer 3

Do you mean in England?

The UK is England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland altogether,

England is not the UK,

Answer 4

why get qualifications if youre gonna blow yourself up on the suicede trip.

Answer 5

It's the culture/home environment they're brought up in.

Education is not important in a muslim family. Religion is.

Answer 6

I don't know but considering every Hindu I know is a doctor/lawyer/ engineer /pharmacist/teacher/ businessman etc etc they can't say its a race thing.  How do the Hindus manage to succeed and the muslims don't?

Answer 7

Their Koran induced ignorance is more important to them, that's the truth brother !!! lol.

Answer 8

Because that must mean they are either lazy or just plain thick or they are not integrating with our society.How about that?

Sounds like a Government ploy to recruit more social workers to help the poor minorities!

Answer 9

to be honest, I don't believe that; what is "working age", and where did you get that statistic from?

But my guess would be: what type of muslims come to britain?

Please dont kill me for being stereotypical, but i'd say more uneducated ones from poor countries

Answer 10

But two thirds do.

Answer 11

They don't need qualifications to claim of the state, and that's what they do best.
