It says that she didn't feel welcome and included. It's true that having more Muslim women in the room might have helped her feel that way, but it's also true that if the men had made her feel more welcome, her being different might not have mattered so much. Indeed, even if there were more Muslim women, if the men were still abrasive to them, the two groups would simply have drifted apart ... which seems to be what has happened.
In the GP's case, even though he was the only white male in the room, evidently the others didn't make him feel unwelcome. That's nice, but it doesn't prove that such things never happen. I find the place I work to be very inclusive too, as far as I can tell being a white male, but I don't doubt that some places are worse, and a few are much worse.
