NEW YORK — Some religious leaders attending Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s interfaith breakfast Friday expressed solidarity with Muslims upset about police department surveillance in their communities, while more than a dozen leaders boycotted the yearly gathering meant to be a showcase of tolerance.
The absence of 15 Muslim clerics and civic leaders made little difference in the size of a breakfast for more than 360, but it made concerns about police infiltration of Muslim neighborhoods and mosques a topic of conversation.
