The search for radical terrorists took the NYPD to kosher butchers and candy stores on Long Island.
Friday night, CBS 2 learned Jewish-owned businesses were put under surveillance, along with mosques and businesses that cater to Muslims.
Secret documents obtained by the Associated Press show Great Neck Glat is one of almost a dozen Jewish-owned businesses the NYPD surveyed in Nassau County.
The anti-terror effort was focused there because many in the Great Neck Jewish community trace their roots back to Iran, CBS 2′s Tony Aiello reported.
“I think we’re wasting time by spying on places like kosher butchers and kosher hair salons, basically Great Neck to begin with,” said business owner Benny Rafailov.
Congressman King, however, said to trust the NYPD.
“Something that may on the surface not necessarily be connected can make sense to them,” King said.

You notice THEY are not having conniptions about their privacy being violated. Because they have nothing to hide. I think the police should continue to do exactly as they have been doing and keep anyone they want to under surveillance. Good for them!
#1 that is the perfect answer. When there is nothing to hide, why worry or complain. Safety of our citizens should be the #1 priority.
Mmmmmmm…Kosher Halal Meat, LOL
As explained to me by a Pakistaini Muslim associate…they will accept Kosher as Halal…no problem.
Their rule is that the sin, if meat is not Halal falls on the person making the claim and not on the person eating the meat.
