Pulling The Plug
By Thomas JeffreyArticle Posted: Sunday November 18, 2007
A plan devised by the Los Angeles Police Department to create a map of local Muslim communities, as well as to examine the group’s “culture,...socioeconomic status and social interactions” has been shelved due to concerns that it could promote racial profiling against the minority. According to Michael Downing, a LAPD deputy police chief, the plan had been mischaracterized from the start and that while they understood any apprehension on the part of members of the Muslim community, there was nothing nefarious about the effort, which was aimed at preventing the same type of radicalization of Muslim youth that has occurred elsewhere around the world.
