NEW YORK: New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg held his annual interfaith breakfast, but he didn?t directly address a boycott by Muslim leaders upset about police spying on their followers.
Friday?s morning?s breakfast was held without 15 Muslim leaders. They told the mayor in a letter that they disagree with his position following a series of articles by The Associated Press exposing the police department?s methods. The AP series detailed police department efforts to infiltrate Muslim neighborhoods and mosques with aggressive programs designed by a CIA officer. Bloomberg has defended the tactics.
At the breakfast, Bloomberg quoted his father as telling him that ?discrimination against anyone is discrimination against everyone.?
He also said: ?We have to keep our guard up, but if we don?t work together we won?t have our own freedoms.?
