| Description | New Jersey officials denied Wednesday that racial or religious profiling had anything to do with the detention of five Muslim football fans at a New York Giants game in September, even as several of the men claimed they were singled out because they prayed at the stadium.
An FBI spokesman told The Associated Press the men were interrogated because they were congregating near the main air intake duct for Giants Stadium.
But several of the fans insisted they were singled out because they were performing daily prayers required by their faith, and said the experience humiliated them. One said other fans taunted them as security personnel grabbed the men and brought them to a room to be questioned during the Sept. 19 game against the New Orleans Saints. |
