‘Backlash against Muslims, Pakistanis won’t be tolerated’
NEW YORK: The arrest of a Pakistan-born US citizen in connection with the attempted car bombing in Times Square should not be used as an excuse for actions against Pakistanis or Muslims, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Tuesday. "We will not tolerate any bias or backlash against Pakistani or Muslim New Yorkers," he said in an interview with a TV channel. Bloomberg praised the Pakistani community for its contribution to the development of New York. app
