Over at The Intercept, Glenn Greenwald and Murtaza Hussain have compiled a list of Muslim-American leaders who’ve been under FBI and NSA surveillance. The list includes mostly civil rights lawyers and academics who seem to have wound up in the crosshairs simply because they say that Muslims in America are entitled to the same rights of citizenship as everyone else. On the list are:

• Faisal Gill, a longtime Republican Party operative and one-time candidate for public office who held a top-secret security clearance and served in the Department of Homeland Security under President George W. Bush;

• Asim Ghafoor, a prominent attorney who has represented clients in terrorism-related cases;

• Hooshang Amirahmadi, an Iranian-American professor of international relations at Rutgers University;

• Agha Saeed, a former political science professor at California State University who champions Muslim civil liberties and Palestinian rights;

• Nihad Awad, the executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the country.

Awad, the co-founder and executive director of CAIR who’s interviewed in the video above, isn’t happy about the revelations. A Palestinian born in Jordan who has been an American citizen for two decades, Awad once served as Vice President Al Gore’s Civil Liberties Advisory Panel to the White House Commission on Aviation Safety and Security. He’s rubbed elbows with some of the Washington’s most powerful elites. "I’m outraged as an American citizen that my government, after decades of civil rights struggle, still spies on political activists and civil right activists and leaders," says Awad. "I’m really angry that despite all the work that we have been doing in our communities to serve the nation, we are treated with suspicion."
