Abdul Sabir is a religious Muslim who cleans the mosque. He also welcomes the closing of the Demographics Unit.

Imam Al Hajj Talib Abdur al Rashid is president of the Islamic Leadership Council of Metropolitan New York. He says the citys Muslim religious leadership deeply distrusts New York Citys former police commissioner, Raymond Kelly.
He says many leaders have tried continually over the years to have good relations with the police department, called the NYPD. But he said many have expressed anger that the police spied on them all the time they worked closely with Mr. Kelly.
The imam said there was a feeling that the police had used the leaders and the mosque to get information. And he said the spying did not find any terrorist plots.
And, as you know, the NYPD surveillance program did not turn up one single lead in all of that looking and all that spying on people.
But the imam says he now feels hopeful that the current New York mayor, Bill de Blasio, has ended intelligence gathering by the Demographics Unit. He took note of the mayors promise to work to end religious, ethnic and racial profiling and the fact that he has been in office a short time.
