RIPPLE, Circuit Judge.
Zafar Hasan, a Muslim of Indian descent and a former associate at the law firm Foley & Lardner LLP (“Foley”), brought this action claiming that Foley had terminated his employment after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, because of his religion, race, national origin and color. The district court granted Foley’s motion for summary judgment. Mr. Hasan now appeals. For the reasons set forth in this opinion, we reverse the judgment of the district court and remand the case for further proceedings.
