BY CRAIG TIMBERG

Muslim candidates, including
Reps. Ilhan Omar and Rashida
Tlaib, endured torrents of hate-
ful, xenophobic and threatening
tweets during last year’s cam-
paign season, much of it ampli-
fied through bots and other fake
accounts, according to a study to
be released Tuesday.
The study, by the Social Sci-
ence Research Council, analyzed
113,000 Twitter messages direct-
ed at Muslim candidates. The
tweets called the candidates
“dogs” and “pieces of garbage”
and accused them of marrying
siblings, being terrorists and
seeking to impose the values of a

“demonic” faith on Americans.

The threats and verbal attacks

flowed so heavily toward Omar

(D-Minn.) — who came to the

United States as a refugee from

Somalia and has become a visible

symbol of Muslim political aspi-

rations — that the report catego-

rized more than half of all ac-

counts that mentioned Omar as

“trolls” because they tweeted or

retweeted hateful, Islamophobic

or xenophobic content.

The vitriol of the tweets far

surpassed what Muslim candi-

dates reported encountering on

campaign trails in their own dis-

tricts, evidence, the report said,

that Twitter was responsible for

the spread of images and words

from a small number of influen-

tial voices to a national and

international audience.

“We ended up with manufac-

tured outrage that was amplified

by faceless individuals, organiza-

tions and governments,” said

Lawrence Pintak, lead author of

the report and a professor at the

Edward R. Murrow College of

Communication at Washington

State University. The study is

called “#Islamophobia: Stoking

Fear and Prejudice in the 2018

Midterms.”

As a result of this social media

blitz, Pintak said, “you create a

sector of society that buys into

this exaggeration of lies and exag-

geration of hate in this online

echo chamber, and it spills into

the mainstream media and into

mainstream consciousness.”

Many of the tweets cited by the

report appear to violate Twitter’s

terms of service, which prohibit

violent threats and attacks based

on religious affiliation, and the

researchers found that a large

number of the accounts they

studied were eventually closed or

deleted by the user, which can be

a tactic to remove evidence of

disinformation campaigns.

“Death threats, incitement to

violence and hateful conduct

have no place on Twitter,” said

company spokeswoman Katie

Rosborough after reviewing an

advance copy of the report. “We

believe this behavior undermines

freedom of expression and the

power of healthy public conversa-

tion. People using their accounts

to spread this type of content will

face enforcement action.”

Omar complained Sunday

about the threats against her life

on Twitter by retweeting a compi-

lation of them and saying, “Yo

@Twitter this is unacceptable!”

That prompted talks between her

office and the company.

After reviewing the report, she

called it “a wake-up call.”

“It has become clear that these

platforms do not take seriously

their role providing a platform

for white nationalist hate and

dangerous misinformation in

this country,” Omar said. “We as a

nation need to think seriously

about ways to address online

threats to our safety and our

democracy.”

Tlaib (D-Mich.) said: “Sadly,

the SSRC report on Islamophobia

online during the 2018 campaign

is not surprising — anyone who

has ever read my Twitter men-

tions and replies has already seen

the level of hate that exists on-

line.”

Omar’s head covering was a

particular source of anger in

tweets reviewed for the study, as

were unfounded claims that she

sought to impose Islamic sharia

law on Americans and was com-

plicit in the synagogue shooting

in Pittsburgh last year.

“No one that wears a #Hijab

should be running for office in

America. The #Quran #Islam and

our #Constitution are Not com-

patible in any way,” said one

tweet.

“All these things that hap-

pened online — all this hate, all

this controversy — were manu-

factured,” said Jonathan Al-

bright, a social media researcher

at Columbia University’s Tow

Center for Digital Journalism

and co-author of the report.

“They wouldn’t exist if somebody

hadn’t built a platform like this to

amplify them.”

The report found that auto-

mated bot accounts — along with

“sock puppets,” which are con-

trolled by people disguising their

identities — played crucial roles

in spreading hateful content di-

rected toward Muslim politi-

cians. Of the top 20 conservative

accounts that spread messages

about Omar, at least nine were

bots, the report found.
