Abstract/Summary

This study intended to describe the work related discrimination experiences of selected Muslims in non-Muslim workplace setting in Manila. The Muslim's identities were considered as these pave way for their discrimination experiences received from their superiors and co-workers. The study seeks to find the differences of such experiences based on the informant gender, educational attainment and job position and discover what effects these had on their job performance. A total of 32 key informants were interviewed basing the questions on the following themes: their Muslim identify, relationships with colleagues, experiences of discrimination and their coping strategies. The results of the study revealed anti-locution as the most common form of discrimination which is mostly received from their co-workers and Muslim women, those with high educational attainment and those in low job positions tend to be discriminated more than their counterparts. The Muslims coping strategies in addressing these experiences revolve around prayers, patience, and confrontations with the people involved.
