Except It's Not "Racial Profiling"

Baher Azmy, legal director of the Center for Constitutional Rights that represented the plaintiffs along with attorneys from the civil rights group Muslim Advocates, said that the ruling was dangerous. He equated it with the now widely discredited US supreme court ruling in 1944, Korematsu v United States, that declared constitutional the blanket internment of Japanese Americans during the second world war.

“The dangerous part is that Martini’s ruling sets no limits on racial profiling of Muslims. You don’t have to deeply unpack this to see that it is wrong,” Azmy said.

Aside from the obviously erroneous comparison since not a single Muslim in the Mosques in question were interred, apprehended, detained or otherwise forcibly manipulated by the NYPD, the fact of the matter is that "Muslim" is not a race.

Whoops.
