Muslim leaders from throughout New Jersey voiced their grave concerns today to state and federal law enforcement officials about the New York Police Department's surveillance of Muslim groups in Newark in 2007, but they came away without the investigation they demanded.
About 20 representatives from the religious community said the private, three-hour summit, held at the state Attorney General's Office in Trenton, was a friendly but frank discussion about the NYPD's activities in the Garden State.
"I'm comfortable with our discussion today," said Aref Assaf, president of the American Arab Forum in Paterson, who indicated before the meeting he would settle for no less than an investigation. "I feel the result will be announced very soon that will meet our minimum expectation."
