CVE policing shares the same fears as private Islamophobes

Evidence

CVE policing is driven by the same fears that fuel private Islamophobes to vandalize and burn down mosques, isolate and attack Muslim men with beards or women with headscarves, and rally in front of religious centers and advocacy organizations. But instead of enforcing Islamophobia by way of vigilante violence, CVE policing plants informants in mosques and other spaces where Muslims congregate, and mobilizes local law enforcement to keep a watchful eye on Muslim communities. It also turns Muslim Americans against one another, and intentionally (or at minimum, consequently) divides Muslim communities. — Khaled A. Beydoun, American Islamophobia_ Understanding…, 381
