American Muslims Accuse Financial Institutions of Discrimination
A growing number of American Muslims are accusing banks, credit card companies and money-wiring services of discriminating against them.
The allegations cover a host of financial services, from terminated bank accounts and credit cards, to major money wiring businesses refusing to transfer their money within or outside the country.
"We have definitely seen a growing number of calls from concerned people calling to ask what's going on," said Dalia Hasha, a spokeswoman for the American Civil Liberties Union. "They are shocked because they're making good salaries, paying fees, abiding by the rules, but they are being prevented from conducting their daily lives."
