NYPD shadows Muslims who change names

A troubling story has come out of teh Big Apple.  AP reports that “Muslims who change their names to sound more traditionally American, as immigrants have done for generations, or who adopt Arabic names as a sign of their faith are often investigated and catalogued in secret New York Police Department intelligence files, according to documents obtained by The Associated Press.”

I thought that immigrants were suppposed to assimilate and that Americanizing names was a time-honored American tradition?
