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.
