NJ judge rules NYPD didnt discriminate against Muslims with counter-terror surveillance
[Jihad Watch] This lawsuit was a craven attempt to end NYPD counter-terror efforts. If it had succeeded, it would have given a green light to Islamic jihad activity, with the NYPD handcuffed and unable to do anything to stop jihad terror plots. Judge William Martini ruled in favor of common sense: The police could not have monitored New Jersey for Muslim terrorist activities without monitoring the Muslim community itself.
The motive for the program was not solely to discriminate against Muslims, but to find Muslim terrorists hiding among the ordinary law-abiding Muslims.AP suffers a blow with this decision as well: they disclosed the surveillance in order to bring an end to it. They failed. But there is no doubt that Islamic supremacists and their allies in the mainstream media will try again, and again, and again, until they get the outcome they want, while free people stand by on the eroding bank of their freedoms and refrain from getting involved in anything controversial. A Federal judge will no doubt toss out U.S. District Judge William Martini's ruling. Posted by: Besoeker 2014-02-21 |
