After 9/11 attack it is very difficult for Muslims to live in USA .The incident below shall give a brief on how Muslim identity is believed as a “Terrorist”
Since December 1984, Mohamed Kotbi , Moroccan national was working in Waldorf-Astoria hotel in New York.
Everything was going well until 9/11 attack, he was first asked to change his name badge to “ John”. This reaction of the staff working around him for more than a decade put him in a shock. He then decided to complain to the hotel management, but it was of no use as they reportedly told: "We don't want to scare our guests."He filed discrimination lawsuits with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in 2005 and 2009, and was given a name tag with his own surname on it.
However in November last year, he was again given a name badge that said "Edgar".
"It's better to be Edgar than Mohamed today," he was told.
Kotbi has accused the hotel of creating a "hostile work environment". He also alleged in court documents that he was repeatedly called "terrorist" and "Al Qaeda boy".
Just a HUMBLE request to whosoever is reading this news report. WE have two types of human beings int his world, BAD & GOOD. BAD and GOOD people are existent in every religion. Hence, just because of bad deeds of a minority group of Muslims “DO NOT BLAME OR CREATE NUISANCE TO EVERY MUSLIM.”.
