At a news conference to address multiple complaints of discrimination at Truman College, Zubair Khan, the attorney for two plaintiffs in cases against the college, described the anti-Muslim harassment faced by his clients."No person should have to face harassment and unfair treatment at work, not on the basis of their race of religion," said Christina Abraham, CAIR-Chicago's Civil Rights Director.

CAIR-Chicago received a complaint in August regarding a Muslim woman who was terminated from her job after a new supervisor openly stated that she didn’t want “Arabians working here.”
