Hannoon, a Kuwaiti employee who worked as an information systems manager, requested Friday afternoons off to observe weekly Muslim prayer services. His supervisor noted in his personnel file, “first week on job requested Fri. off.” In fact, Hannoon was permitted to take the time off and to work at other times to make up for those afternoons. Hannoon was terminated for poor performance and he filed an action claiming national origin and race discrimination. What flaws can you find in his claim? [Hannoon v. Fawn Eng’g Corp., 84 EPD ¶ 41,370 (8th Cir. 2003).]
