Under the Equal Employment Opportunity Act, you are not supposed to be discriminated against because race, color, religion or sex. However, some jobs bombard you about your beliefs. For example, when the 9/11 attacks happened, the Islamic nation was ridiculed wherever it went. If you look at it from a relativist perspective, they were all lumped together because of the accident of 2 or 3 people who happened to be Islamic. In this case, it is unfair, because not all Islamic religions support murder and suicide bombing. The First Amendment gives everyone the freedom of religion, speech and expression. However, many people face discrimination in the workplace because of their religious beliefs. If a person's religious beliefs have nothing to do with their work ethic, why are they considered a problem? During and after 9/11, Muslims became the butt of every joke on the Tonight Shows, and sometimes in general conversation. “Stereotypes of Muslim communities in the media and the implementation of anti-terrorism legislation have led to Muslims being portrayed as 'dangerous'. “This made them more vulnerable to discrimination, a sentiment supported by a number of academics” (Choudhry 2001; Macklin 2001). I can't imagine how Muslims feel when they are discriminated against. Coming to the United States…a place known for our love, acceptance and most importantly our freedom, only to be ridiculed for their religious beliefs. Where is love, acceptance and freedom when someone has to walk on eggshells because of something they have no control over? If you take away everyone's religious titles, at the end of the day we are all the same. The only difference you would notice... middle of paper ...... would be considered correct.
