This family was apparently moderate.
Disturbing...

The prime suspect in the New York and New Jersey bombings sued his local police force and claimed they were persecuting him for being a Muslim.
Ahmad Rahami said in a lawsuit that cops in Elizabeth, New Jersey subjected his and his family to discrimination and 'selective enforcement' based on their religion.
The family - who used the name Rahimi in the legal papers - claimed that police tried to shut down their chicken restaurant, called First American, too early each night with 'baseless' tickets and summonses.
Ahmad, 28, his father Mohammad Sr, 53, and his brother Mohammad, brought the lawsuit together and said that local residents also racially abused them and said: 'Muslims don't belong here'.
The lawsuit was filed in 2011 and reveals that Ahmad has a long history of grievances with city officials, their local police force and people who lived close to them.
Five years later Ahmad is now the most wanted man in America over his alleged involvement in the New York and New Jersey bombings.
The lawsuit, filed in the federal court in Newark, says that the family are from Afghanistan and are all Muslims who have owned the chicken restaurant since 2002.
From April 2009 for two years they allege that they were unfairly targeted for staying open past 10pm despite being permitted to do so.
The lawsuit says that the police had a 'reckless disregard and deliberate indifference for plaintiff's constitutional rights of liberty, due process and equal protection'.
The Elizabeth police department allegedly 'embarked on a course to harass, humiliate, retaliate against and force their business to close at 10pm'.
The lawsuit claims that the officers told them there was 'too much crime around here' and that the area around the restaurant was 'known for criminal activity'.

Betcha it was Ron Kuby.
Police dept. is to blame. Perfect alibi for the libs to glom on to.
There’s something about a shoe and if it fits.
The night of the bombings mayor DeBlassio made sure to tell us that the NYC and NJ bombings were not connected. He didn't say "no connection has yet been established" (like he should have). His statement was definitive -- NOT connected. Undoubtedly he, Obama, Hillary, and every other prog in the country was hoping their weren't, and that the perps weren't Moslems. Oops. ...again.
Why they should all be kicked out.
But, but they had a fried chicken joint not a Schwarma shack.
They were trying to assimilate. And we failed them.
We are at fault. It’s all our fault. They were peaceful until they weren’t.
for a good laugh, watch the Palestinian Chicken episode from Curb Your Enthusiasm....
These people are known to over use the court system as they are a group of professional whiners. Frankly I wish there was a way of dismissing suits by a standard dismissal: the constitution is not a suicide pact.
They're kinda like pit bulls that way, aren't they? "Oh, Buddy was such a sweet family pet, we just don't understand why he suddenly mangled the baby...They must not have socialized him properly."
Where is CAIR when you really need them for another "tolerance" press conference?
Clearly an effort (most likely effective) to stifle police investigation of his illicit activities by claiming “racism”
I’m just surprised the Obamastan Justice Dept didn’t join in the suit.
Yep - Muslim logic. You have a perceived grievance so go kill a few random non-believers (or for that matter believers too - doesn't really matter) to even things out.
Which lawyer brought suit?
first place l’d look is the law firm of afghan immigrant bundler, khizr kahn
Of course, so this makes bombing a reasonable response to governmental abuse.
It’s not like this is somebody withholding income taxes owed to the government, now THAT is TERRORISM. /s
Is that Hillary or the body double?
