Poles take away jobs of Muslims in Britain

I hate to stereotype but my experience is that Muslims have a bad attitude. In Israel, we have Thai, Chinese, & Romanian immigrant workers & nurses from the Philipines. They are sometimes exploited as most immigrants are but they are very well liked. On the other hand, even with high unemployment among the Israeli Arabs, people don't like to hire them. I lived in Morocco for 40 years & ran a large business there & I can tell you, I only wish I could have hired Poles. Actually, I would have prefered hiring ANYTHING else, considering all the problems we had.

So, it's no surprise to hear that Eastern Europeans displace Muslims in Britain.
