The CIA-trained NYPD ran a human mapping surveillance program of Muslim communities

Evidence

In 2011, the Associated Press published a series of stories that detailed how the New York City Police Department was engaged in a massive secret program of blanket surveillance monitoring the lawful and peaceful activities of Muslim communities in the tristate area.

The report also points to “Radicalization Incubators” that set Muslim men on a path to radicalization. These are places such as mosques, cafés, student associations, nongovernmental organizations, and bookstores. We now know that these are exactly the places that the NYPD sent spies and “mosque-crawlers” to monitor Muslims. — Green, Todd H, The Fear of Islam_ An Introduction to…, 575 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
