Why are 53 per cent of Muslim men in Britain unemployed?

Why are 53 per cent of Muslim men in Britain unemployed? Plus we'll be talking garba! And Nihal speaks to an expert panel about Navratri.

At 1, Why are 53 per cent of Muslim men in Britain unemployed? According to a wide ranging study by the Equality and Human Rights Commission, a quarter of Pakistani men are taxi drivers, and only 24% of Muslim women are working. The report says of all religious groups, Muslims have the lowest rate of employment. Is it because of discrimination? Or does the victim mentality annoy you? Is it purely down to the lack of opportunities available to you, or is it the choices some ethnic minorities are making. And do you think society in Britain is fair to you?

After 2 - Navratri kicked off on Friday and as we do with many religious events, we're holding an expert panel to explain everything to you, if you have any questions about the meaning of Navratri get them in

And you couldn't miss it over the weekend - the X Factor lives show took up most of Saturday night, so talk to me about it - whose performance was the best, who surprised you, did FYD and Nicolo deserve to go? Whatever you want to say about X Factor, now's your chance....
