Born Osama: Muslim-American Employment Discrimination

Abstract

Muslim-Americans have faced many challenges to their basic civil liberties since the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Centers. One of the areas in which they have felt the most discrimination is in the workplace. The Equal Employment Opportunities Act, otherwise known as Title VII, prohibits employers from discriminating against employees or potential employees. Today, Title VII forms the basis for claims brought against employers who discriminate against their employees. The unique situation of Muslim-Americans has highlighted the inadequacies of Title VII in protecting against the subtle nature of modern forms of discrimination. Without modifications to the rules governing Title VII claims, discrimination against minority groups will continue to prevail in the workplace.
