Someone needs to remind CAIR they are on the same team.

(WASHINGTON, D.C, 2/27/12) — The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today called on the Obama administration to investigate the reported use of White House funds for the New York Police Department’s (NYPD) controversial campaign of spying on Muslims without warrants or evidence of wrongdoing.

According to The Associated Press:

“Millions of dollars in White House money has helped pay for New York Police Department programs that put entire American Muslim neighborhoods under surveillance. …

“The disclosure that the White House is at least partially paying for the NYPD’s wholesale surveillance of places where Muslims eat, shop, work and pray complicates efforts by the Obama administration to stay out of the fray over New York’s controversial counterterrorism programs. The administration has championed outreach to American Muslims and has said law enforcement should not put entire communities under suspicion.”

The Washington-based Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization called on White House officials to conduct a full investigation to determine whether the funds were used to conduct the NYPD’s systematic campaign of religious and ethnic profiling that has been condemned by CAIR and many other civil liberties groups.

CAIR also asked administration officials to take “appropriate measures” to ensure that White House funds are not misused in the future to promote similar profiling campaigns.
