Sounds a tad over-zealous. I can't blame the NYPD for being interested in Muslim communities though, after 9/11. I don't agree with these tactics, but let's not forget that New York, the US and essentially the whole world were furious about the thousands of deaths, while a good part of the Muslim world was ecstatic...
It also doesn't help that some interpretations of the Quoran promote Jihad, some don't, and it's really complicated or impossible to tell who is thinking what, especially if you aren't muslim.
Today we feel less passionate about 2001, but the consequences of these emotions are still not over.
What I hope humanity will learn from this incident is to try to keep emotions cooler the next time the world feels challenged in this way.
