Muslims Petition Attorney General For NYPD Probe
This article is about the Muslim American's petition to the Attorney General to resolve the threat that the NYPD has posted on their lives. There is a report that has surfaced that depicts the discriminatory practices of the New York police department towards Muslims in America. Although the department is taking serious measures towards keeping America safe there training and practice of focusing on residential Muslims reflects racially profiling. Their spying on this race of people came from the secret report called “U.S Iran Conflict: The threat to New York” which suggested that they expand their investigation and focus on mosques in New York. As a protector of the New York society the NYPD has a good amount of reason to keep its eyes open for any suspicious things within that community because of the events of 9/11 but I do not believe they should focus their attention on imposing on the lives of this group. The approach that the NYPD is taking is very inflicting. It is putting innocent Muslims in the category of terrorist which is unfair. BBC news has posted a video that displays the Muslim respond to this issue. The conference that they held served the purpose of encouraging peace and understanding of the Muslim community as not a threat to New York.
They have petition for there to be an investigation of the NYPD because they feel that the department is not trustworthy and that their investigation lack credibility. With no response from the office of the police department on this issue, their innocent in this matter of discrimination is to be questioned.
My opinion on this article has been stated in the first half of this post but I also have a separate opinion on this whole issue. The police departments in general usually form taskforces that pay firm attention to individuals and sometimes groups that they find threatening to society. The whole issue of Muslims wanting the NYPD to be investigated on the accusations of spying within their mosques should not be taken seriously. I say that because terrorist threats in America is an ongoing issue and if the department has token the proper measures to protect the larger population then there is no need to advertise that they are taking these precautions. I think that Muslim should realize that their lives is not in any way private because the government imposes on its citizens in some way and that this supposed discrimination happens to any group or person viewed as a threat. So live with it and continue to prove your belief of being a peaceful group which could eliminate the investigation and profiling.
