Muslim and civil rights groups held a demonstration and a news conference in front of City Hall in New York to denounce police commissioner Ray Kelly for giving an interview to the producers of the movie The Third Jihad.

Kelly who appeared for about 30 seconds in the movie later apologized but the protesters are not convinced as they are asking him to resign.

The movie was shown to over a thousand police trainees. Muslim groups insist that the dramatic footage shown in the movie project bias against Muslim faith by portraying Muslims in America as violent people who are only interested in implementing Sharia law by practicing Jihad against America.
