If you live in a non-Arab country and have both a Muslim name and a job, count yourself very lucky. Precisely three times luckier — if you’re in the UK — than the average person with a Muslim name, in fact. The BBC’s Zack Adesina and Oana Marocico sent out CVs of an Adam and a Mohamed (fake candidates) with identical skills and experience and looked at the number of interviews they got — and found Adam was three times more likely to get a call for an interview than Mohamed.

“Muslim men are 76% less likely to be employed than their white Christian counterparts, according to research by the Research Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship at the University of Bristol.” Over next door in France, a much more rigorous 2015 study picked up by the Washington Post found the same results. It’s not a recent phenomenon: A 2005 BBC story reads, “Sheikh Ali Tariq Ahmed became Daniel Jacob. And when he sent his original CV back out to the same companies who had shown no interest, "Daniel" got calls.”
