“According to newly exposed documents, the New York City Police Department designated all mosques in the city as terrorist organizations, allowing the department to spy on them without oversight and to plant operatives inside the Muslim houses of worship. Under the secret designation, not only do police need no specific allegations of wrongdoing to surveil mosques, but anyone who attends a worship service can automatically come under surveillance themselves and become a subject of investigation. The secret police files also revealed plans by the department to install informants on the boards of local Islamic charities.”
