Well honestly bro, thats not something you kid about. I apologize for saying anything to offend you, but you really did offend me. Living in the United States, Muslims/Arabs are constantly being discriminated against, and i thought you were being sincere with that statement; once again, i apologize, but you should not make statements like that.[/quote]
You are in California and Arabs/Muslims are constantly being discriminated against? I live in Texas and Arabs/Muslims are not being discriminated against. They have the same opportunities that all other races or religions enjoy in this country.
Not trying to be an ass, but could you give us an example?[/quote]
Case #1: The Bay Area, CA: A Muslim woman said she received a death threat from a co-worker. Her supervisors treated it as a joke, but ultimately, she left the job because she didn�¢??t feel safe there any longer. (The San Francisco Chronicle, 10 November 2001)
Case #2: Cupertino, CA: A 34-year-old Jordanian-American technician was fired from his job of seven months making computer circuit boards. The week before September 11, his weekly evaluation was positive, as usual. However, the day following the terrorist attacks, his boss gave him his first negative review. Furthermore, his boss required him to report his whereabouts every half-hour. After a week, he lost his job in a series of layoffs. Although there were other layoffs, the company kept technicians with less seniority than his. (Newhouse News Service, 15 October 2001)
Case #3: Fontana, CA: A Muslim high school senior working at a fast-food restaurant was the repeated target of bias jokes from both his coworkers and his manager. At first, coworkers taunted him, asking why his �¢??cousins�¢?? destroyed the World Trade Center. Sometime later, his manager began teasing him as well. �¢??Hey, we�¢??re going to have to check you for bombs,�¢?? the manager joked, often in front of other employees. Days later, he was fired after he accidentally threw away a paper cup that the manager was using. The management said he was let go for �¢??performance deficiencies.�¢?? (The Los Angeles Times, 10 February 2002)
Case #4: Huntington Beach, CA: A doctor from Egypt was abruptly fired from his job at a medical center by his supervisor, who specifically mentioned the doctor�¢??s nationality and religion. The doctor thought of suing, but was worried it would hurt his chances of getting a green card. (This could threaten his future employment opportunities.) (The San Francisco Chronicle, 10 November 2001)
Case #5: Wilmington, NC: A nurse recently converted to Islam and came to work wearing the hijab (head scarf worn by some Muslim women to cover their hair and necks). A doctor called her to his office and said, �¢??You�¢??re being offensive to me and my clients.�¢?? She talked to the head manager who assured her not to worry, that they would discuss it the next day. The next morning, the head manager told her, �¢??I can�¢??t ask you to leave and it�¢??s not legal to fire you, but if you want to leave you can.�¢?? He also told her, �¢??If you don�¢??t cover your head everything will be OK.�¢?? (Reported to the ADC)

Those are some in California. And who said anything about work opportunities? I am talking about people who are being hateful, ironically, alot of these people are being hated on, in the work place.
Here is another.
Motaz Elshafi, 28, a software engineer, casually opened an internal e-mail at work last month. The message began, “Dear Terrorist.”
The note from a co-worker was sent to Muslims working at Cisco Systems in Research Triangle Park, N.C., a few days after train bombings in India that killed 207. The e-mail warned that such violent acts wouldn’t intimidate people, but only make them stronger.

I see your point, but it goes both ways. Those are cases of discrimination. Over 1,000,000 Christians a year are killed in Muslim nations. Calling might be discrimination, but Killing people for their religion is Murder.
By the way those incidents are almost a decade old. Have anything recent? [/quote]
No no no, you’re missing the point. Christians are tied to the west and therefor unpure. They must be killed in order to be saved.
They’re just doing them a favor. Tough love and all, you know?
