Three-quarters of Britons who become Muslims are female. Now a major new study has shed light on the difficulties they face in adjusting to their new life.

Talk about flogging a dead horse, thats the same report that they wrote about last time isn't it?

Quote
many of the British women who adopt Islam say they have a daily struggle to assimilate their new beliefs within a wider culture that both implicitly and explicitly positions them as outsiders, regardless of their Western upbringing.

They are victims, mashmallowallah.

Many of the young women – the average age of conversion is 27 – are also coming to terms with experiences of discrimination for the first time, despite the only visible difference being a headscarf. Yet few find easy sanctuary within the established Muslim population, with the majority forming their closest bonds with fellow converts rather than born Muslims.

Meh, I hate those kind of muslims who think they're better because they were 'born' muslims. My aunties (dads sisters) still insult my birth mum by saying shit like "white whore" even though she's been dead for almost 17 years, so much for being one ummah
