discrimination against Muslims



Denying rental homes to Muslims is not anew happening. It exists for the last 3 decades. It is not only for rental homes it is ended to even ownership homes. My Muslim friend booked felt with leading builder and paid the advance too. The friend is not beard wearing person and his wife was not wearing hijab. They were highly qualified professionals. The builder could not imagine that they were Muslims since he was not very familiar with Muslims names. After a week he called my friend asked to take back the advance since others who have booked the other flats object to a Muslim buying one flat. When my y friend argued angrily with him, he asked him to bring in 6 of his Muslim friends or relatives to book other flats, so that he can tell other flat owners that his business interest can not be ignored. He further said that if he gives it to him alone he won’t be able to sell the other 6 flats to non Muslims.  When I heard this incident I was deeply hurt, because we Muslims are thinking that we a re Indians first before any thing live like others  following the laws of the land and integrated with Indian culture and  follow religious harmony in a natural way.98% of the Muslims live in that way .  Still others look at Muslims  in a different way without any logic. In the earlier decades , there were no religious clashes or community based  hatred. Yet, incident like this happened to many. Currently it is extremely  difficult for Muslims to get rental houses. The excuse given is non vegetarianism though the true  reasons are different.
