Gates of Vienna News Feed 11/13/2012

A report from Newcastle University in Australia indicates that high unemployment among Australian Muslims is at least partially due to the War on Terror. Racism and discrimination in the workplace, brought about by deep-seated hostility towards Muslims on the part of ordinary Australians, is making it harder for Muslims to find jobs, according to the report.
