A plan by the Los Angeles Police Department's counter-terrorism bureau to map Muslim groups in the city has angered civil rights activists and community leaders, it was reported Friday.
The Los Angeles Times reported that the LAPD wants to create a map of Muslim groups in order to help communities avoid the influence of radicals seeking to incite "violent, ideologically-based extremism." With an estimated 500,000 Muslims living in the greater Los Angeles area, it seems crazy to even think of doing such a thing. This will just continue increasing the tensions among the Muslim community and create more feelings and sentiments of hate. What else with the American authorities come up with next?
