I found the following quite interesting ..

One in three has a university degree, compared with one in five of their Canadian peers. The percentage of Muslim women who hold master's degrees and doctorates is twice that of the female population as a whole, according to a report prepared for the Council of Muslim Women using data from the 2001 census.

Nearly two-fifths of these women specialize in highly technical, cutting-edge disciplines, such as engineering, mathematics, applied sciences, biotechnology, computers and medicine.


That is at odd with what is general harped upon about muslim women..
