Muslim employees of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in Washington said they felt discriminated against after being barred over the weekend from floors where an Israeli delegation was staying, a Muslim advocacy group said.

One hotel worker whose duties involve going to all the hotel's floors said he was preparing for his shift Friday when his supervisor told him to steer clear of the eighth and ninth floors, where Israeli Defense Minister Ehud Barak and his delegation had booked rooms.

"I said, 'Why?' said the worker, who is Muslim and wanted to remain unidentified to protect his job. He said his supervisor told him, "They're Israelis there, and they don't want no face-to-face with Muslims."

The hotel's general manager, Amanda Hyndman, said the hotel rearranged some shifts and told some workers not to come in after a routine State Department background check found "irregularities" in the checks of 12 employees.

Reasonable security precaution.

Spontaneous Jihadism is a well known phenomenon.

Legitimate security concerns.

Would advise these Israelis to avoid any floor above the basement of the White House. Similar reasons.

Seems like a good security measure to me.

Good for The Mandarin Oriental.

Duh? About 100% of terrorist attacks, murders, bombings, IEDs, and mayhem in many cities and countries, with promises of more and more by Muslims. All right, call them Islamofacists, but they are all Muslims, is that not so?

It couldn’t have had anything to do with who the perps were in 9,000 of the last 10,000 terrorist attacks, or how millions of Muslims feel about Israelis.

Middle Eastern Muslims are the most restrictive people I have ever known.they are glad to restrict non believing infidels from anything they do so I don’t even acknowledge their crocodile tears.

One of Israel’s members of knesset, Rehavam Zevi, was assassinated in a hotel in Jerusalem, so it is understandable that Israeli security is cautious. Israeli hotels are filled with Muslim Arab workers, and Jewish Israelis come in contact with Muslim Arabs every day. Many taxi drivers in Jerusalem are Muslim Arabs, for example.

The article says that there were security “irregularities” with respect to 12 employees, and that not all of the 12 were Arabs or Muslims.

This article is nothing more than anti-Israel misdirection.

I am so tired of the Religion of Peace hypocrites.

This is the same religious cult who discriminates against their own women, discriminates against the blind by refusing to transport seeing-eye dogs...etc

If Muslims do not like security measures, or, intergrating with America, its time to get the heck home.

I am tired of the Dhimmitude

I, as a United States citized employed as a commercial flight attendant in America, was discriminated by you muslim pig scum everytime one of your male pigs asked me if I was clean before I served him food.

Of course, I always said no. I had the longest running menstrual cycle to avoid feeding those islam pigs at the trough.
