Police infiltrated Muslim student groups, put informants in mosques, monitored sermons and catalogued every Muslim in New York who adopted new, Americanized surnames.

I'd claim BS and political correctness on this one. Money laundering to support Hammas/Al Queda/Muslim Brotherhood/CAIR? Nope, I'm sure none of that was going on...they make their money from....Hammas/Al Queda/Muslim Brotherhood/CAIR supporters.
I'm sorry so many people lie due to worries about racism/muslim bias charges (psst...muslim isn't a race.)
