Newark mayor: NYPD Muslim files 'deeply offensive' (AP)

Imam Abdul A. Muhammad of the Masjid Imam K. Ali Muslim mosque in Newark, N.J., speaks in his clothing and accessories store, regarding surveillance of the Muslim community by the New York Police Department, Wednesday, Feb. 15, 2012. Americans in New Jerseyâs largest city were subjected to surveillance as part of the New York Police Departmentâs effort to build databases of where Muslims work, shop and pray. The operation in Newark was so secretive, even the cityâs mayor says he was kept in the dark. For months in mid-2007, plainclothes NYPD officers snapped pictures of mosques and eavesdropped in Muslim neighborhoods. The result was a 60-page report, obtained by The Associated Press. It cited no evidence of crimes. It was just a guide to Newarkâs Muslims. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
