Michael Bloombergs Surveillance Of Muslims Sets Dangerous Precedent For His Presidential Run
How would he distinguish himself from Trump if he has some of these similar leanings? one Muslim New Yorker wanted to know.
As a 19-year-old college student in 2012, Asad Dandia received a Facebook friend request from a fellow young Muslim man who wanted to get more involved with the Muslim community in New York City.
It didnt raise alarm bells for Dandia at the time ― the Brooklyn resident was active in the religious-based charity organization Muslims Giving Back, which collected and distributed food for people in need. Dandia told the man on Facebook, 19-year-old Queens resident Shamiur Rahman, that he was welcome to join the organization to find friends, get closer to his faith and widen his network.
But Dandia didnt realize that Rahman wasnt there to seek friends at all.
Rahman was being paid by the New York City Police Department to spy, bait and record every move made by Dandia and his Muslim community as a part of the now-defunct surveillance program that mapped and spied on everyday Muslim Americans.
