Abstract
This article examines Title VII workplace discrimination in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, disasters. There were 63 federal court cases that alleged discrimination against Muslims, Arabs, and people from selected parts of the world such as the Middle East and South Asia. Discrimination was alleged to have occurred in failing to accommodate workers' religious practices, in treating people unequally, and in allowing for the existence of hostile work environments. Some workers alleged they had been retaliated against for exercising their fights to file complaints of discrimination. The study did not find a major wave of discrimination cases and found the courts to be remarkably consistent in the application of the law.
