Muslim Woman Wins Discrimination Case
" The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) welcomes a Phoenix, AZ, jury award of $287,640 to a Muslim woman after the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) brought an employment discrimination case against Alamo Car Rental on her behalf. Alamo had terminated Ms. Bilan Nur in December of 2001 for refusing to remove her hijab, or head covering, during the Holy Month of Ramadan. This was the first post-9-11 backlash discrimination case brought by the EEOC’s Phoenix District Office."

Great job by the ADC and Ms. Nur, however i am disappointed that the ADC is honoring the tyrant family that runs UAE along with various Democrats for the ADC's national convention.
All of the people that they invite to speak have done nothing to stop anti arab racism or to bring peace and justice.
YEAH!!!!!!
