Unfortunately their religious beliefs include that it is legitimate to use violence against non-Muslims.

This is good, but NY’s fool of a mayor will do everything he can to favor the screaming towelhead bearded savages.

"For similar reasons, the Plaintiffs in this case have not alleged facts from which it can be plausibly inferred that they were targeted solely because of their religion. The more likely explanation for the surveillance was a desire to locate budding terrorist conspiracies. The most obvious reason for so concluding is that surveillance of the Muslim community began just after the attacks of September 11, 2001. The police could not have monitored New Jersey for Muslim terrorist activities without monitoring the Muslim community itself. While this surveillance Program may have had adverse effects upon the Muslim community after the Associated Press published its articles; the motive for the Program was not solely to discriminate against Muslims, but rather to find Muslim terrorists hiding among ordinary, law-abiding Muslims."

The judge basically establishes that terrorism was Probable cause for the surveilance, and that "Muslim Terrorists" are in fact linked to the Muslim religion, justifying the racial profiling. Such racial profiling was not designed to discriminate against ordinary Muslims but to find the terrorists.
