Muslim Groups Oppose NYPD's Kelly For Homeland Security Spot

According to Religion News Service yesterday, Muslim-American groups are expressing growing opposition to suggestions that President Obama may nominate NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly as head of the Department of Homeland Security. He would replace Janet Napolitano who is leaving DHS to head the University of California System. The Muslim groups say that Kelly oversaw an NYPD surveillance program that targeted Muslims solely on the basis of their religion. (See prior posting.)
