Introduction

• Knowledge: A better understanding of American Muslims in areas such as beliefs, practices, and traditions that might impact that person’s interaction with others.
• Skills: Tips and protocols for interacting with American Muslims from various ethnic backgrounds help improve service delivery.
• Understanding: An enhanced understanding of a people or culture helps prevent bias and enhances the ability of executives to foster a tolerant and harmonious work and service environment.

According to a newly released survey by Gallup Poll, Americans are more than twice as likely to express prejudice against Muslims as they are against Jews, Buddhists or Christians; and although nearly two-thirds of Americans say they have little or no knowledge of Islam, a majority dislikes the faith. Such findings underscore the need for education and understanding, particularly about contemporary issues, which are addressed in all our diversity seminars.
