New leaks from Edward Snowden show the National Security Agency has gathered records on the online sexual activity of Muslim targets in a bid to discredit them. The Huffington Post reports the NSA has identified at least six Muslim leaders whose speeches have the potential to radicalize their audiences with an “extremist message.” None are accused of involvement in terror plots. The NSA has apparently collected evidence of their online activity, including visits to pornography sites in a bid to undermine their credibility or intimidate them into silence. It is unclear if the NSA carried out any of its plans.
