Recent studies have surfaced showing that ever since 9/11/01, Muslims have faced bias in their place of work. Mary Jo O'neill, a regional attorney for the Equal Employment Opportunuity Commission in Phoenix, Arizona has stated that "There is a hatred, an open hatred, and a lack of tolerance for people who are muslim. The midwestern region of the US including Arizona, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah and New Mexico is facing more and more bias each year. Why have muslims become the scapegoat because of a terrorism attack that happened nearly nine years ago? Even though only a small group of muslim terrorists were involved in carrying out the attacks nine years ago, muslims have become branded with an image. This image, which is negative, has transfered into their workplace and has caused an increasing prejudice.
