US Department of Defense uses apps to spy on Muslims

Media reports have indicated a number of applications that were used to spy on Muslims in the United States, warning that they endanger their privacy.
Popular apps such as Muslim Mingle, Full Quran MP3, Qibla Compass, QR barcode scanner and Al-moazin Lite, have a special code that tracks who downloads these applications and uses them.
Nihad Awad, executive director and co-founder of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said that he discovered that many companies that use these applications are spying on hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world and in the United States.
He revealed that these companies give the databases of the users to the US government, the Ministry of Defense and the US military, and they are sold to other institutions, stressing that this is a threat and a breach of religious freedom for individuals in the United States and the world.
More than 80 Islamic organizations had earlier demanded to determine whether the Terrorism Investigative Project, an anti-American organization, had violated any federal laws in an espionage campaign.
Human rights organizations, mosques, and charities wrote to the Department of Justice, calling for an investigation into an anti-Muslim organization’s violation of federal laws and spying on several Muslim organizations in the United States.
