AMANDA ROSS










LINK FOR ARTICLE :



This article has two stories about Muslims being discriminated at their work place. A man was harassing a Tunisian waiter and Hadji asking the man to leave but instead the restaurant's owner asking Hadji to apologize or to leave. Another case similar to that was about a woman being called "Mrs.Bin Laden".

I think discrimination has increased since then because some people think that all Muslims are terrorist and are gonna blow everything in their path. Also people don't understand Muslims and their religion, they think that they all come from the part of the religion that has become bad, when they aren't all from that one bad part.

I think the best way is to try to teach people about the middle east and terrorism and try to explain to them that not all Muslims are bad, and that their religion is not right or whatever. But most people wont listen to that, people will think what they want to think, and sometimes we just can't change their mind. So i don't know a way that could possible help out, that's the only way but like i said, people will think what they want to think.

  1. If I understood correctly Hadji was the waiter in that restaurant, so I think that the owner had a right to do what he did, since he wanted to make money and please their customers, so he would do anything not to upset them. Therefore, a lot of people can chose to rather lose their dignity than their money (customers).

  2. I also used the same site as you Amanda. I don't think it was right for what the owner did either, he should have looked at the other side and not just decided what was good for his buisness.
