SAN FRANCISCO (CN) � Clifford Chance LLP, which bills itself as the world�s largest law firm, has been sued for wrongful firing and religious discrimination by a Muslim attorney who says she was treated reprehensibly and eventually dismissed by Jewish supervisors. Plaintiff Asma Gull Hasan, the author of two books on Muslim women, says the discriminatory treatment she received from co-workers and bosses was directly related to her status as the Muslim daughter of Pakistani immigrants, and her two books, �Islam in America: Images and Challenges,� and �American Muslims: The New Generation,� both published before 2001. She also sues for emotional distress, hostile workplace, negligent supervision, and retaliation; she seeks punitive damages.
