Do you work with any Muslims?
How about Muslims whose heritage is from the Middle East or Southwest Asia?
(Note: Military who have served in Afghanistan or Iraq need not answer. Obviously, you know Muslims.)
1. I know quite a few actually that I regularly deal.
2. I have 6 colleagues who are Muslim and around 10 or so clients. The traditional ones don't let yet women speak and if you speak to the woman they do get upset. The ones who are "western" Muslim are actually quite pleasant because there is common ground in the way we treat each other.
3. I do not have any Muslim employees. It's nothing I have avoided it's just never presented itself when we were looking for people. Almost everyone we hire is based off prior relationships or close referral.
4. All of my Muslim clients were born in Egypt, Afghanistan, or Saudi Arabia. We have a lot of Coptic Christians from Egypt as well. As far as Colleagues go I am not sure where they are from because it's never came up.
