Bias Against Muslims Is Counterproductive

Your report is worrisome (“Workplace Bias Against Muslims, Arabs on Rise, Advocates Say,” Oct. 3).

Americans of Middle Eastern origin have become an integral part of America, just as have other groups, which is as it should be.

One of the best ways to alienate any group and make it hostile to the U.S. is to subject its members to senseless bias and harassment.

This treatment is wrong, misguided and counterproductive and, if necessary, should be criminally prosecuted with vigor.
