VOICED: Muslims in New York decry police surveillance

After the September 11 attacks, many Muslims in the city felt under constant surveillance, suspecting they were monitored by police. An investigation confirmed that the NYPD had been profiling Muslim neighborhoods, leading to public outcry and demands for a formal inquiry. Community leaders and civil rights groups are pushing for action, while the debate has reached Congress, with calls for a federal investigation. Despite the lack of response from the Justice Department, the Muslim community continues to fight against these practices.
