<https://secure.avaaz.org/en/kicked_out_for_being_muslim/?bZIbGab&v=59416> 25-year old Misbah Quadri was *kicked out of a flat -- because she's a Muslim*. If we raise an outcry now, we can help her get justice and make the responsible company Sanghvi Builders scrap their discriminatory practices. *Let's get to 30,000 signers and we'll create a media blitz to hold them to account* -- sign below and share: Sign now <https://secure.avaaz.org/en/kicked_out_for_being_muslim/?bZIbGab&v=59416> Dear friends across India, A bright, accomplished 25-year old woman moved into a flat in Mumbai with two other girls but just a week later *she was kicked out -- for being a Muslim.* Misbah Quadri is now fighting for justice -- let's back her and *stand up for what makes India great -- our unity in diversity.* Mumbai's Sanghvi Builders allegedly told Misbah that it is their company "policy" to reject Muslim tenants! But after the story broke, they've gone quiet -- refusing to apologise. *Let's challenge them now to publicly scrap this bigoted policy!* They have 9 mega construction projects on and can't afford to ruin their reputation -- so let's pressure them hard. *When we get to 30,000 signatures, we'll go to all the major media* and make this story so big that Sanghvi Builders will simply not be able to hide. Sign now for a united India and *share this with all your friends: * https://secure.avaaz.org/en/kicked_out_for_being_muslim/?bZIbGab&v=59416 Dear friends across India, A bright, accomplished 25-year old woman moved into a flat in Mumbai with two other girls but just a week later *she was kicked out -- for being a Muslim.* Misbah Quadri is now fighting for justice -- let's back her and *stand up for what makes India great -- our unity in diversity.* Mumbai's Sanghvi Builders allegedly told Misbah that it is their company "policy" to reject Muslim tenants!

Sign now for a united India and *share this with all your friends: * https://secure.avaaz.org/en/kicked_out_for_being_muslim/?bZIbGab&v=59416 What happened to Misbah Quadri is *not an isolated incident.* Earlier this month, a 22-year old Muslim MBA graduate was denied a job by a firm that claimed to only hire only "non-Muslim candidates" and across the country finding a house to rent as a Muslim is becoming notoriously difficult. But while there are acts of discrimination,* there are also incredible acts of solidarity between different communities.* Let's speak out when we see such deep discrimination. Companies spend huge sums in advertising for years to build up their brands and will do anything to protect them. Sanghvi Builders is a high profile company that lies exposed. If we create a full blown scandal now, it will *not only get them to change, but also send a strong message that Indians are ready to stand up united.* Let's act now -- with 30,000 signers we'll be able to make a media splash to hold Sanghvi Builders to account for their illegal policy. *Join below and share with friends:* https://secure.avaaz.org/en/kicked_out_for_being_muslim/?bZIbGab&v=59416 In India and across the world, our community has stood up to uphold values of diversity, unity and justice. That is the only path forward and we cannot let those who want to divide us through discrimination to succeed.
