Drivers harassed diners and fights ensued. Several people were injured. In New York City, police <a href="https://twitter.com/NYPDnews/status/1395785842799611917?s=20">arrested</a> 23-year-old Waseem Awawdeh and are searching for several more suspects in the beating of a 29-year-old Jewish man in Times Square on Thursday during pro-Palestine and pro-Israel demonstrations.The victim was released from a local hospital after being treated for minor injuries.In a <a href="https://twitter.com/ADL/status/1395798750858252291?s=20">letter</a> to President Joe Biden, the ADL reported that antisemitic rhetoric and attacks have been on the rise in person and online.

In the UK, The Community Security Trust <a href="https://cst.org.uk/news/blog/2021/05/19/cst-stands-against-anti-jewish-hate">said</a> antisemitic incidents were up fivefold since the fighting in Israel and Palestine began. The group recorded 116 incidents between May 8 and May 19, up from 19 incidents in the 11 days prior. The ADL reported that antisemitism has been on the rise in the US for a few years, with 327 incidents reported in 2020, a 40% rise from 2019, where 234 incidents were reported. The recent tensions in Israel and Palestine have also resulted in a rise in Islamophobic attacks. While there isn't comprehensive data, several mosques have reported vandalism in recent weeks, <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/antisemitic-incidents-heightened-across-u-s-amid-israel-gaza-fighting-n1268137">NBC</a> reported.

Those who are deemed to have unlawfully converted someone through marriage or other means can now face up to 10 years in jail.Since the passing of the law, numerous Muslim men have been arrested for allegedly breaching it.

She has since married a Hindu man, and Ahmad claims to have "no link with the woman." Nonetheless, he was sentenced to 14 days of judicial custody, according to the Indian newspaper <a href="https://scroll.in/latest/980183/love-jihad-in-first-case-muslim-man-from-ups-bareilly-arrested-under-new-law">Scroll.</a>The day later, an interfaith wedding between a Hindu bride and Muslim groom was stopped right before the wedding rituals.

Speaking at the French schoolteacher's wake last week, Macron called Paty a "quiet hero" of the French republic and added that France would continue to produce the cartoons and defend anyone's right to do so. In Montpellier and Toulouse, local officials projected the Charlie Hebdo caricatures of Prophet Muhammad onto their town halls as an act of solidarity. In response to the defense of the caricatures, numerous heads of states in the Arab and Muslim world have called for the boycott of French goods, and protests have been held globally against what detractors are calling an incitement of Islamophobia by the French president. The French Foreign Ministry called for an end to the boycott and "blackmail" on Monday. The reaction to Macron's defense of the cartoons is linked to his recent announcement of laws in early October, which would enable local french officials to surveil mosques more tightly, and require Islamic institutions and officials in France to sign "secular charters" in order to prove that they are not influenced by foreign sources.After Samuel Paty's gruesome death, the legal package is seen to have gained popularity, and after protests and the call to boycott French goods have grown globally, French officials have tightened security around religious sites, urging French nationals living abroad to refrain from attending anti-Macron protests for their own safety.Speaking to French outlet <a href="https://www.liberation.fr/france/2020/10/26/gerald-darmanin-ce-qu-on-cherche-a-combattre-c-est-une-ideologie-pas-une-religion_1803552">Libération</a>, French Interior minister Gérard Darmanin has implicated organizations like the Collective for the Fight Against Islamophobia in France (CCIF), arguing that they should be dissolved because the organization "considers there is a state Islamophobia all the while being subsidized (financially) by the French state." In response to Darmanin, CCIF and over 70 European civil liberties organizations signed a <a href="https://www.enar-eu.org/Joint-statement-French-Minister-threatening-to-close-down-anti-racist-civil">letter</a> pushing back. CCIF <a href="https://www.islamophobie.net/en/rapport-2020/">reported</a> that in 2019, there were nearly 800 anti-Muslim acts in France, a figure almost twice as high as their tracking two years prior. The European Network against Racism added that "the focus on a certain form of exclusive 'laicité', or secularism, is leading to the exclusion of many Muslims, and in particular visibly Muslim women." Advocates say that Macron's administration has repeatedly spoken out against "radical Islam" without acutely defining it, implicating many moderate Muslims. ENAR added that headscarf and Burkini bans had a similar chilling effect of policing religious freedom in the name of secularism.In the week since the murder of Paty, two Hijabi women were stabbed by non-Muslim French women in Angers, France, over their Hijabs and because they were speaking Arabic, <a href="https://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20201022-two-french-women-charged-over-racist-stabbing-of-veiled-Muslim-women">France 24 reported</a>. Protests have been held in countries like Turkey, Bangladesh, and Saudi Arabia, and a full blown diplomatic row has simmered between France and Turkey.A spokesman for the European Commission discouraged Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan from advancing the boycott of French goods, stating that it "will take Turkey even further away from the European Union." Erdoğan called for Macron to undergo "mental checks" for sharing and defending the caricatures of the Prophet Muhammad, an act which is considered blasphemous in Islam.Pictures of <a href="https://twitter.com/InfosFrancaises/status/1320035227142705153">supermarkets</a> in Kuwait and Qatar emptying their shelves of French products have spread across social media. The Kuwaiti Union of Consumer Co-operative Societies stated that nearly all of it's 69 stores pulled products made in France.France called for Turkey to be censured at the next EU summit, a spat which is increasingly threatening Turkey's hopes of inclusion in the European Union. Today, Charlie Hebdo shared its weekly <a href="https://twitter.com/Charlie_Hebdo_/status/1321134572105572352">cover</a>, featuring a buffoonish depiction of <keyword id="377580" type="PERSON" weightage="60" keywordseo="Erdogan">Erdogan</keyword> and a half-naked veiled woman with the caption, "Erdogan, in private he is more fun." "I condemn this incorrigible French rag's immoral publication concerning our president," Turkey's Vice President Fuat Oktay responded on Twitter, calling on the international community to speak out against the new cover. Turkey and France, both NATO allies supporting opposing sides of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, have continued to escalate their diplomatic row.

Speaking at The Atlantic Festival in Washington DC on Tuesday, Facebook's most senior spokesman Nick Clegg talked through the steps that Facebook is taking to prepare for upcoming political elections and its attitude toward political speech on the platform. Clegg was once a senior politician himself, as the former leader of the Liberal Democrat party in the UK and as the country's deputy prime minister.His speech was <a href="https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2019/09/elections-and-political-speech/">shared in a blog post online</a>.Clegg explained that while Facebook will continue to crack down on fake accounts and work to reduce the spread of false news, politicians' speech and political debates will be exempt from fact-checking and will be allowed on the platform even if it breaks Facebook's rules. "Freedom of expression is an absolute founding principle for Facebook," Clegg said. "Since day one, giving people a voice to express themselves has been at the heart of everything we do. We are champions of free speech and defend it in the face of attempts to restrict it. Censoring or stifling political discourse would be at odds with what we are about."The rules potentially mean politicians will be free to spread misinformation and even hate speech. Facebook said it would demote posts if politicians share news that has already been debunked, but that it wouldn't actively fact-check what politicians post.Alex Newhouse, an extremism researcher at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies, <a href="https://twitter.com/AlexBNewhouse/status/1176713734422556672">wrote on Twitter</a>: "To give politicians essentially free reign to lie, gaslight, and spread hate on the largest social platform on the planet isn't just misguided, it's actively dangerous, violent, and anti-society."But others argued that Facebook, a private company, shouldn't make decisions about what political speech is acceptable or not. Daniel Kreiss, an associate professor of journalism and media at the University of North Carolina, <a href="https://twitter.com/kreissdaniel/status/1176650726430392320">wrote</a>: "[This] is primarily a political, not a media, problem in my view, and Facebook simply does not have the legitimacy to solve that."Clegg said that Facebook would intervene "where speech endangers people", and that it still regulated what is posted in political ads.Still, it isn't clear how Facebook is defining "politician" and whether that simply means elected official, or also includes political candidates. For example, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-bans-tommy-robinson-over-islamophobia-2019-2?r=US&amp;IR=T">Facebook has already banned</a> right-wing activist Tommy Robinson from its services for Islamaphobia.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>The 20th anniversary of 9/11 was a reflection on how the tragedy shaped Muslim Americans' lives. </li><li>Muslims reported dealing with increased bullying, harassment, intimidation tactics, and hate crimes.</li><li>Galvanized by 9/11, they have joined together to advocate for political and institutional changes. </li></ul>Elham Malik's younger brother used to be fascinated with airplanes. In fact, he wanted to be a pilot when he grew up. That dream swiftly changed, however, after a bus driver reprimanded him for drawing doodles of planes in a notebook on his way home from school. "The bus driver went up to my mother and told her that it was 'completely unacceptable' for my brother to be drawing planes," Malik, a senior at Sienna College, told Insider. "My mom set us down for a conversation and said, 'I respect your passion, but we can't talk about or be interested in planes. It's dangerous because we're Muslim,'" she continued. That was the first time Malik learned about what happened on September 11, 2001. She hadn't yet been born when the extremist Islamist terrorist group al-Queda hijacked four flights and killed thousands of people in what remains the deadliest terrorist attack to date. Saturday, which marked the 20th anniversary of 9/11, was both a day of mourning for the lives lost in the attacks and a reflection on the innumerable ways the tragedy shaped the lives of Muslim Americans. The school-bus incident was the first time the 17-year-old understood that practicing Islam - a religion she says "has nothing to do with the few who committed the attacks" - could put a target on her back. Malik is part of a generation of Muslim-Americans who grew up in 9/11's shadow. Despite either not yet being alive that day or being only a few years old during the attacks, the torrent of Islamophobia that was unleashed on Muslims in the tragedy's aftermath has forever changed them. Two decades later, this group and many others are still trying to reclaim their religion amid the widespread verbal abuse and violence that their communities face. <h2>Verbal harassment, comments about terrorist ties abound</h2>According to a <a href="https://www.cair.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/RemembranceResilience-1.pdf">report</a> from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim civil rights organization in the US, 72% of Muslim women and 67% of Muslim men reported experiencing at least one or more incidents of anti-Muslim bigotry since 9/11. Nearly 35% of the survey's respondents said that anti-Muslim rhetoric in the intervening years has impacted their mental health. Malik, who said it's been "damaging" to repeatedly "explain" that she and her community were "not responsible" for the attacks, is a testament to the tangible mental health affects 9/11 has had. "Xenophobia and Islamophobia always existed, but they were nowhere near the levels that were unleashed after 9/11," Omer Bajwar, the director of Muslim Life at Yale University, said. "My students have grown up in a world where Islamophobia is open political discourse and media punditry. It's a different world for them," he added. Khalid Dada, a senior at Ohio State University, recalls sitting in a high school class when a friend of his said that Osama bin Laden was Dada's third uncle. It was a "joke" Dada had gotten used to hearing over the years and one that usually just let roll off his back. But this time, Dada's teacher asked him in front of the class whether it was true - a question that Dada felt empowered his classmates to continue making the hurtful comment. "It made me afraid that these people really thought Osama bin Laden is representative of our religion," Dada told Insider. "I couldn't let people think it was okay." Kumail Afshar, a freshman at Pomona College, has had similar experiences. He said he's "been called Osama bin Laden more times than I can count." He noted that the verbal harassment from classmates only increased with attacks that followed - including the 2016 Pulse nightclub shooting carried out by an Afghan American, and the attack on the <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2017/04/06/us-military-has-launched-more-50-than-missiles-aimed-at-syria-nbc-news.html">Shayrat Airbase</a> in Syria a year later. "I remember after the strike in Syria, this guy came up to me and said, 'look how we bombed you, you goat f------ in Syria. We destroyed you,'" Afshar recalled. <h2>Hate crimes and intimidation have long-standing effects </h2><div type="image" title="A young Muslim American woman smiling and wearing a black hijab." height="931" width="1242" msid="86182070" hostid="261"></div>As with hate crimes against many minoritized groups, <a href="https://muslimadvocates.org/2020/11/muslim-advocates-2019-fbi-data-undercounts-hate-crimes/">hate crimes against Muslims have likely been undercounted</a>, according to Muslim Advocates, a civil rights group that provides legal and other resources to Muslims. Per the organization, "law enforcement agencies … do not have to report hate crimes to the government and many hate crime victims never make a report in the first place." Yet data nonetheless shows that hate crimes against members of the religious group have soared in the aftermath of 9/11. While hate crimes against Muslims fell by 42% in 2020, per FBI data, the number of assaults targeting US Muslims surpassed the post-9/11-peak between 2015 and 2016 with 127 reported aggravated or simple assaults, according to <a href="https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017/11/15/assaults-against-muslims-in-u-s-surpass-2001-level/">the Pew Research Center</a>. Physical hate crimes are not the only ways Muslims have been targeted, however. Per the Pew Research Center, Muslims deal with intimidation, or "reasonable fear of bodily harm." Surveillance programs, like that enacted by the<a href="https://www.aclu.org/other/factsheet-nypd-muslim-surveillance-program"> New York Police Department,</a> has also caused fear in Muslim communities, according to the ACLU. For Muslim women who wear hijabs, outwardly displaying their faith has brought unsolicited attention and abuse. Maya Mattan, Dada's classmate at Ohio State University, said "the second you start wearing the headscarf, you're going to get a look no matter what, even if you're just doing the smallest of things, like driving."She recalled when a man honked his horn at her while she was driving, one of the many "everyday microbiases" she has experienced. "The thing about being Muslim is you feel like you have to reverse every stereotype," Mattan said. "But I love my <keyword id="11899151" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="culture" source="Orion">culture</keyword> and religion. I'm a Syrian woman and I am not embarrassed or ashamed of that in any way." Malik, the senior at Sienna, said determining when to wear the hijab has been a source of contention between her and her mother. Her mother would prefer for Malik to take off her hijab in airports if she is asked by TSA Agents to avoid a potentially hostile situation. But Malik isn't really comfortable with taking it off. "I don't blame my mom because her fear is very real," Malik told Insider. "But I know what Islam is and I'm not afraid to be Muslim. I know what my religion is and what it's not." <h2>9/11 ignited activism and internalized Islamophobia</h2>Islamophobia has grown in the years since September 11, 2001, according to Bajwar, because society often needs "an external bougie man. "We need an external force to blame for the world's chaos," he said.Sometimes the rampant Islamophobia can cause ​​Muslims to internalize prejudice - an issue Bajwar has observed on-campus among some of his students. A <a href="https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/article-abstract/2782161">Jama Psychiatry</a> study published in July found that nearly eight percent of Muslim respondents said they had attempted suicide during their lifetime, compared with 6 percent of Catholics, 5 percent of Protestants and 3.6 percent of Jews, a discrepancy the study attributed partly to discrimination. "After 5, 10, 15, 20 years of consuming hatred and animosity against their culture and faith, they intenalize all this subconsciously and start questioning, 'is islam really as bad as they say it is," Bajwar questioned. "Why are my people so bad? Do I want to stay Muslim,'" he continued. But far more often he's seen young Muslims embrace their faith in the face of hate. "Many young Muslims are mobilizing against these oppressive systems and are defining their faith and who they are," Bajwar said. "In a world of BLM, Me Too, Islamophobia, misogyny, they're much more aware of the ways things are interconnected." Galvanized by 9/11, Muslim Americans have joined together to advocate for political, corporate, and other institutional changes. Not only have Muslim Americans shown up at the polls in <a href="https://www.arabnews.com/node/1758536/world">record numbers in recent years</a>, but they've also been running and winning local and national elections. In 2006, <a href="https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2018/05/us/influential-muslims/#ellison">Rep. Keith Ellison</a> became the first Muslim-American elected to serve in Congress. While there have only been four Muslims in Congress to date, Rep. Ilhan Omar and Rep. Rhasida Thalib are counted among two of its current and most visible Muslim lawmakers. Muslims have also been forming advocacy groups, determined to create community and make their voices heard amidst ongoing marginalization. "When I heard these hurtful statements about my people being backward and not as advanced and technologically advanced as Western people, it was difficult not to let them affect my perception of my homeland," Afshar, who's a member of his school's Muslim Students Association, said. "But I started reading history and became more proud of how rich our culture is, that traditions so old could be so meaningful today." "I figured if I became more spiritually connected, the racist islamaphobia comments would mean less to me," he added.

And in speaking with France Football, the publication behind the Ballon d'Or, the striker called on other stars of the sport to stand against racism and sexism."I want to shout: 'Cristiano [Ronaldo], Lionel [Messi], Zlatan [Ibrahimovic], help me!'" <a href="https://www.francefootball.fr/news/A-lire-cette-semaine-dans-france-football-les-confessions-de-megan-rapinoe-ballon-d-or-feminin-2019-oui-je-suis-une-femme-puissante/1086479">she said</a>. "These big stars do not engage in anything when there are so many problems in men's football.""Do they fear losing everything?" she added. "They believe that, but it is not true. Who will scratch Messi or Ronaldo from world football history for a statement against racism or sexism?"Rapinoe has never shied away from conflict in the face of standing for what she believes in. This summer, she made waves for feuding with President Trump after forcefully and explicitly saying that <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/megan-rapinoe-not-going-to-white-house-if-us-wins-2019-6">she would not visit the White House</a> should the USWNT win the 2019 FIFA World Cup. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trump-says-megan-rapinoe-should-win-before-she-talks-2019-6">Trump responded</a> by suggesting that Rapinoe should "win before she talks," and the prolific scorer answered by winning the Golden Ball and Golden Boot for her outstanding efforts in securing the USWNT's fourth World Cup victory.In addition to defying the president this summer, Rapinoe has a long history of supporting progressive social causes. She was one of the first white athletes to kneel during pregame renditions of the national anthem in solidarity with Colin Kaepernick."I haven't experienced over-policing, racial profiling, police brutality or the sight of a family member's body lying dead in the street," she wrote in an <a href="https://www.theplayerstribune.com/en-us/articles/megan-rapinoe-why-i-am-kneeling">essay for the Players' Tribune</a> in 2016. "But I cannot stand idly by while there are people in this country who have had to deal with that kind of heartache."Rapinoe, an out gay woman who works closely with the Human Rights Campaign and other LGBTQ+ advocacy organizations, spoke further about the influence Kaepernick had on her prior to this year's World Cup."Colin Kaepernick very much inspired me, and inspired an entire nation, and still does, to actually think about these things," she <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/megan-rapinoe-is-a-walking-protest-162416461.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told Yahoo Sports</a>. "The way he spoke about them so clearly, so matter-of-fact, wasn't trying to convince anyone. Just, 'This is what is happening, this is what I'm willing to do about it.' I found that extremely inspiring and convicting. Like, how can you not support?"For their part, Messi, Ronaldo, and Ibrahimovic are all relatively quiet regarding their opinions on issues that stretch beyond the turf. After Senegalese center back Kalidou Koulibaly was the target of explicit racism as his Napoli squad played Internazionale last season, Ronaldo <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2812592-cristiano-ronaldo-wants-education-and-respect-after-kalidou-koulibaly-incident">posted a message on Instagram</a> urging "education and respect in life and football." Still, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/cristiano-ronaldo-denies-rape-allegations-timeline-everything-we-know-so-far-2019-3?r=US&amp;IR=T">lingering rape allegations</a> certainly dampen the possibility of the Portuguese becoming a staunch progressive advocate, especially in the realm of feminism.Messi is <a href="http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/23520684/barcelona-star-lionel-messi-manages-stay-hidden-fame">notoriously reluctant</a> to say anything to the media beyond events on the field. Ibrahimovic, meanwhile, has spoken out as <a href="https://www.espn.co.uk/football/sweden/story/3341467/zlatan-ibrahimovic-undercover-racism-has-cost-me-credit-in-sweden?device=featurephone">a victim of Islamaphobia</a> since his father is Muslim, but he's also gotten into hot water for saying dissing Sweden's women's team back in 2013."With all respect for what the ladies have done, and they've done it fantastically well, you can't compare men's and women's football," <a href="https://www.espn.com/soccer/news/story/_/id/1662641/zlatan-ibrahimovic-cannot-compare-men-women-football">he said</a>. "Give it up, it's not even funny."Rapinoe explicitly acknowledged the role her activism played in her big year in her conversation with France Football:"This Ballon d'Or rewards both," she said. "On the one hand, I am a very good footballer. On the other hand, my actions off the pitch bring me support because people understand that I act to find solutions to the problems of our society.""The idea is to empower others to speak loudly," she added.<ul class="read-more-links"><li>Read more:</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/megan-rapinoe-nike-ballon-dor-cleats-2019-12">Nike made one-of-a-kind cleats for Megan Rapinoe inspired by her hair and trophies to honor her Ballon d'Or win</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/peta-criticizes-university-of-georgia-mascot-uga-the-bulldog-2019-11">PETA is going after the University of Georgia for using a live mascot, but Uga the bulldog actually lives a lavish life</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/where-colin-kaepernick-has-most-support-across-united-states-2019-11">Map shows which states support Colin Kaepernick the most</a></li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/photo-texas-longhorns-football-stadium-renovation-looks-like-a-vagina-2019-11">The University of Texas is giving its football stadium a face-lift, but people are saying the new 'Longhorn patio' looks like the female reproductive system</a></li></ul>

Megan Rapinoe calls out Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic to do more to fight racism and sexism

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Donald Trump accused Hillary Clinton of wanting "to take in as many Syrians as possible," referring to a "secret tape" as supposed proof that the Democratic presidential nominee would allow refugees to flood the US if elected."Wow, just came out on secret tape that Crooked Hillary wants to take in as many Syrians as possible," Trump <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/790523240351498241">tweeted</a>. "We cannot let this happen - ISIS!"The Republican presidential nominee has long argued that if the US continues to let in refugees fleeing the Syrian civil war, ISIS terrorists will find ways to slip into the country with them. Terrorists have been abusing the European system to slip in with the refugee flow and mount attacks on Western countries, but security measures in the US are generally thought to be more stringent.Trump <a href="http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/sep/27/donald-trump/trump-says-clinton-would-bring-620000-refugees-her/">has repeated these claims</a> about Clinton wanting to flood the US with refugees many times this election cycle. She has said that she thinks the US should be doing more to help the refugee crisis and has suggested admitting 65,000 refugees in fiscal year 2016. By comparison, Germany admitted more than 1 million refugees last year.The video Trump was referencing in his tweet Monday&#xa0;<a href="http://truthfeed.com/video-huma-abedin-on-hidden-cam-admits-hillary-will-open-u-s-borders-to-syrian-refugees/30772/">is likely one from Project Veritas Action</a>, a group run by controversial conservative activist James O'Keefe, who publishes undercover sting videos.An undercover operative for&#xa0;the group attended an event with Huma Abedin, a top Clinton aide, and asked about Syrian refugees.<div></div>After thanking Abedin for addressing the Syrian refugee crisis and remarking that Islamaphobia is "rampant" in the US, the Project Veritas activist said, "You have to promise me, if Hillary is elected president, she's going to do everything she can to let these Syrians in."Abedin responded, "Absolutely right."The Project Veritas activist then said Republicans were trying to ban Syrian refugees from entering the US, to which Abedin responded, "Oh, and by the way, it's not just Republicans, there are some Democrats who are scared too."She continued: "We need to have leadership on this, it is not, we can not turn these people away."O'Keefe has previously gotten into hot water for his practices. In 2010, he <a href="http://www.nola.com/crime/index.ssf/2010/05/james_okeefe_and_friends_plead.html" target="_blank">pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor</a> for posing as a phone repairman to enter then-Louisiana Sen.

In&#xa0;2013, he&#xa0;settled a suit for $100,000 after editing a recording with an ACORN employee who later&#xa0;lost his job.<a href="http://www.salon.com/2016/10/18/james-okeefe-releases-another-project-veritas-video-claiming-hillary-clinton-campaign-is-bird-dogging/" target="_blank">Past O'Keefe footage</a> has also been found&#xa0;to contain <a href="http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2011/03/10/does-raw-video-of-npr-expose-reveal-questionable-editing-tactics/" target="_blank">manipulative editing</a> to show&#xa0;an intended narrative, as the conservative website TheBlaze wrote.Allan Smith contributed to this report. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/philippines-president-rodrigo-duterte-china-putin-russia-xi-jinping-us-2016-10">'America has lost': The Philippines president just announced that he's allying with China, wants to talk to Putin</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="Y0cmF2NjE6_StYcf6K-LQHEfKHYuNtio" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>

Trump cites 'secret tape' as supposed evidence Clinton 'wants to take in as many Syrians as possible'

<div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div></div></div>Harvard University has issued an apology&#xa0;for disseminating talking points on social justice to students going home for&#xa0;winter break, <a href="http://www.theguardian.com/education/2015/dec/18/harvard-apologizes-holiday-placements-student-backlash">The Guardian reported</a>.The Office for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, along with the Freshman Dean's Office, issued "holiday placemats for social justice" that explained to students how they should respond to family members when asked certain questions.<a href="http://www.thecrimson.com/image/2015/12/16/diversity-inclusion-holiday-placemats/">The placemat had four sections</a> - Yale/Student Activism, House Master Title, Black Murders in the Street, and Islamaphobia (sic)/Refugees - each with a potential question and then a suggested response.For example, if family members said, "We shouldn't let anyone in the US from Syria. We can't guarantee that terrorists won't infiltrate the ranks of refuges," students were prompted to have this response: "The US has been accepting refugees from the war-torn areas around the world for decades. Remember the wars in Central America?"Or if family members attempted to discuss the recent spate of African-American deaths at the hands of police officers with a comment like, "Why didn't they just listen to the officer?", students were encouraged to say, "Do you think the response would be the same if it was a white person pulled over?"<div></div>The placemat&#xa0;also had a section labeled "Tips for Talking to Families" that included "listen mindfully before formulating a thoughtful response" and "breathe."The Harvard Undergraduate Council, which consists of Harvard College students, condemned the university's attempt to tell students what they should say rather than letting them&#xa0;think for themselves."We reject the premise that there is a 'right' way to answer the questions posed," <a href="https://drive.google.com/a/businessinsider.com/file/d/0By8LSX6DBUaHd1B0dFV2TzB2bEU/view?pref=2&amp;pli=1">the group wrote in a statement</a>. "We do not think the offices of the university should be in the business of disseminating 'approved' positions on complex and divisive political issues."Harvard's dean of student life and dean of freshman issued a joint response apologizing for the placemats, and acknowledging they were one-sided responses to complex issues."We write to acknowledge that the placemat distributed in some of your dining halls this week failed to account for the many viewpoints that exist on our campus on some of the most complex issues we confront as a community and society today," they wrote. <div class="margin-top"> <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/los-angeles-schools-closed-threat-2015-12">All Los Angeles schools have been closed due to a 'credible' threat of violence</a></h3> <div> <div> <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="pnYmJqeTq1F2mzl26UhZ7HC7HTcacYP5" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div> </div> </div> </div>
