Muslims in New Jersey have filed a civil rights federal law suit against NYPD spying on Muslims in general. The person in the picture, Mr. Farhaj Hassan is an old comrade and a friend. He and I were very active at Rutgers challenging the bigotry within the Muslim community. Therefore if certain right wing groups try and paint this as some sort of extremist Islamist move, it would be pathetic to do so. Farhaj is a proud American who believes in the separation of church and state and has served his country with distinction in Iraq. Needless to say we at YLH & Co wish the petitioners/plaintiffs in this case the best of luck and shall watch closely the outcome of this litigation. Hopefully at a future date we will institute lawsuits of this kind for the civil rights of Non-Muslims in Pakistan as well.
