Trump Twitter Storm

NY Times, Trump Shares Inflammatory Anti-Muslim Videos, and Britain’s Leader Condemns Them "President Trump shared videos supposedly portraying Muslims committing acts of violence on Twitter early Wednesday morning, images that are likely to fuel anti-Islam sentiments popular among the president’s political base in the United States and prompted the office of Britain’s prime minister to issue a statement condemning the tweets."

Also see Talal Ansari, Buzzfeed, Here's Where That False Anti-Muslim Video Trump Retweeted Came From " The video, which depicts an attack by a Dutch teen on another Dutch teen, was first picked up by anti-Muslim activists in May. It has circulated through pro-Trump Twitter accounts, Reddit, Alex Jones' website Prison Planet, and the website of an anti-Muslim crusader — before being retweeted by the president of the United States."

eventbrite, 100 Years of Marmaduke Pickthall
"To celebrate the 100 years since legendary British Muslim writer Marmaduke Pickthall conversion to Islam we will be holding a celebration dedicated to him. There will be talks from three people who have studied Marmaduke Pickthall extensively." This will be very interesting, although unfortunately, I cannot attend.
