Prominent groups like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), Center for American Progress, and Human Rights Watch have all publicly stated that any such designation would directly threaten the constitutional rights of millions of American Muslim men, women, and children everywhere. — Arsalan Iftikhar, Fear of a Muslim Planet_ Global…, 662
