    Hudak’s report identified two posts from 2020 in which El-Sayed drew a comparison between the growing number of deaths from COVID-19 and the nearly 3,000 people killed on September 11.

    El-Sayed argued that the scale of the pandemic warranted a similarly broad national mobilization. In one post, El-Sayed said he hoped the country would devote the following decade to a “war for public health & against poverty,” invoking the government’s response to terrorism after 9/11 and arguing that such an effort could “save lives rather than take them.”

    The article also examined a 2021 post in which El-Sayed expressed sympathy for those killed or injured in the attacks before pointing to the loss of life and destruction that resulted from the military campaigns launched in their aftermath.

    Not just another "right-wing slide".

    Trump bootlicker Bari Weiss turned a nothingburger into a racist, Islamophobic attack -- clearly intended to hurt a Democratic Senate candidate -- with the full weight of once-respected CBS News.

    "CBS News Slammed After Publishing Controversial Headline About Dem Senate Nominee Abdul El-Sayed"

    The headline in question:

    “Michigan Democrat Abdul El-Sayed’s deleted tweets on Sept. 11 attacks invite scrutiny of past remarks.”

    More from the article:

    The media newsletter Status reported that Weiss specifically directed that the headline call attention to El-Sayed’s deleted references to the September 11 attacks. The 41-year-old El-Sayed was only 16 years old on 9/11.

Through a political desire for unity, ‘we are documenting the transformation of the very meaning given to the principle of #laïcité, the interpretation of which has undergone a notorious shift: whereas yesterday it allowed the pluralist expression of beliefs, today it requires religious neutrality’.

  15. This has been several decades in the making. Since before 2001 there has been #Islamophobia in #Europe and the #US.

    But after 9/11 #ThinkTanks, #MediaEngines, pundits & #populist #politicians have been feeding the fires of fear & hatred.

    But what's stupid is that said fear has been used to steadily take away rights from people in general, created division and made minorities scapegoats for the same corrupt officials.

  18. #US / Harvard Divinity School administrators resign citing university's tolerance of anti-muslim bias and attacks on pro-Palestinian voices

    Two administrators at Harvard Divinity School's Religion and Public Life program have resigned, citing the university's failure to address a hostile environment towards Muslims and those critical of Israel.

    Hussein Rashid, the assistant dean, explicitly accused Harvard of tolerating racist and defamatory statements against the program, particularly from Jewish groups like Hillel and #Chabad.

    […] He cited as an example an Instagram post by Harvard Chabad, led by Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi, that said: “There are numerous Harvard academic centers that essentially function as Hamas or Palestinian embassies,” citing the Religion in Public Life center “in its entirety,” and concluding, “it’s stunning that there’s no call for some of these centers to be shut down or rebuilt in its entirety.”

  19. CW: Bigotry

    @dukepaaron

    One of the buried ledes here is that CUNY was also ignoring discrimination against Arab, Muslims, and Palestinians in the same way.

    No matter how much we say it, it just isn't getting through to some people that when you push for people to ignore and tolerate one kind of bigotry, they'll learn to tolerate the ones you don't intend as well.

    All of our liberation is bound up together, and the ones who demand they ignore Jews are also endangering and fostering hostile environments against the people they are supposedly "supporting".

  30. After Abuse Of Muslim Student In UP School, An Unrepentant Teacher & An Anxious, Fearful Father, Steadfast In Desire For Justice

    A day after a video of a Hindu teacher instructing students to hit their Muslim classmate went viral, Article14 visited the village of the student and the teacher in the Uttar Pradesh district of Muzaffarnagar, where the dominant Hindu community insisted there was nothing wrong. Politicians made a beeline for the Muslim student’s house. A journalist tutored the boy’s father about what to say. As the unequal power dynamic between the victim and perpetrator became apparent, members of the Tyagi caste attempted to dilute the heinous nature of the attack on a child. Yet, the father told us he wanted legal action against the teacher.
