I chose an artcile about a 24 year old women who was part of an experiment created by a women from the university of California. This women is using a fake muslim name and her goal is too see if she can get a job. The women who conducted this experiment found that muslims are two and a half times less likely to get a job interview than a Christian.
Also in this article it said that in France , the senate voted to ban women from wearing islamic face-veils in public and Swiss voters approved of an amendment to band the building of new mosques.
1.) I think that discrimination against the muslims in america has increased since 9/11 because of 9/11. Most Amerians blame all of the muslim race for what happened that day instead of just the radicals. I think for Americans, it is much easier for citizens to discriminate against all muslims because they dont know the difference between radical and moderate muslims and they cant tell the difference between them.
2.)Im not really sure how we can decrease the disrimination or prejudice of muslims. I have a feeling that it may be like this for awhile until at least the war is over.
yes i agree with you because a lot of the americans don't know the difference between the radical and the moderate muslims that is true. and I just cant even think on how people are not letting the muslims to even get a little job; just to work and they even turn them down. good job :) PS: nice pic haha.
