PHILADELPHIA (CBS) Rev. Nicole Diroff, associate executive director of the Interfaith Center of Greater Philadelphia, spoke with Talk Radio 1210 WPHT midday host Dom Giordano about the ads going on SEPTA buses that many people feel are anti-Islamic and the rally that they had to garner support for their removal.

Yesterday in Love Park, Civic and religious leaders gathered to say that these ads that up on SEPTA buses do not represent our Philadelphia, do not represent the Philadelphia that theyre a part of, and inviting people to be part of a Dare to Understand Campaign in responseto have an elevated positive response spreading different images throughout this region. People of diversity standing together in cooperation and collaboration.

While the Interfaith Center of Greater Philadelphia does believe in the freedom of speech, Diroff says that they disagree with the message that it sends.

So, I think that we are finding that our Muslim partners and friends do not find these ads accurate, and for me personally, the emotional response that they give to me is one of pain and hurt, and so we are responding with an emotional response of love and hope. As a Christian minister myself, I am acutely aware of the ways in which many of our scriptures can be taken and interpreted in many many different ways. They can be used to back lots of different positions. So, were trying to respond with something thats elevated beyond the content of the ad.

Rev. Diroff has received an exceptional amount of financial response to go along with the outpouring of emotions by already raising more than $27,000 for more ads to support the billboard placed on I-76.

Though she hopes that the ads will not spark any violent responses, a fear remains that it will happen.

University of Maryland officials have concluded that a vulgar e-mail a student sent to members of his fraternity last year was hateful and reprehensible, but did not violate the schools policies and is protected by the First Amendment guarantees of freedom of speech.

University President Wallace D. Loh announced Wednesday the results of an investigation that involved campus and Prince Georges County police, as well as the universitys Office of Civil Rights and Sexual Misconduct.

At issue was a private e-mail sent in January 2014 by a member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity that surfaced publicly in March this year. It contained a racist, sexist message indicating that the author wanted to have sex with women during fraternity rush week but didnt want people to invite women of certain races. The e-mail also contained a line using an expletive to indicate above all else to forget about consent.

Loh said the e-mail was profoundly hurtful to the entire university community. By mutual consent, he said the student responsible has left campus and will not return for the semester.

The student issued an apology through Lohs statement:

I apologize for the pain that I have caused you, the entire University of Maryland community, and many others who were offended by my words. ... For this, I am deeply sorry.

I regret sending that e-mail more than Ill ever be able to put into words, the student continued. I know there is no way to erase this incident or the agony it has caused, but ... I have learned an important life lesson, realizing there is no room for hate or prejudice of any kind in our community.

Loh said the student proposed to undergo training in diversity and cultural competence and to perform community service. I accepted these actions to hold him morally accountable, Loh said.

The student is no longer a member of the fraternity.

NGO head says journalists are not above the law and the police only arrested TMI staff because a report was lodged against them.

PETALING JAYA: Staff of The Malaysian Insider were arrested for their tendency to habitually pass off false and inaccurate information as truth, said the head of the Centre for Political Awareness, Huan Cheng Guan.

He said that contrary to the accusation that the government and police were stifling freedom of speech, TMI broke the law by putting out a highly erroneous article on hudud and implicated the Conference of Rulers in the process.

The error is very serious because if it were perceived as truth, the possibility of a Malay uprising is there, he said, in a statement today, adding that it was only right that TMI take responsibility for its actions, which to date it has refused to do.

He pointed out that the news portal refused to amend the article which till today can be accessed from its site and that the police only took action because a report had been lodged with them by the Keeper of the Rulers Seal.

Action was taken based on the police report lodged by the Keeper of the Rulers Seal and not because of any other person/parties, he said.

He also condemned watchdog bodies like the National Union of Journalists, among others who did not seem to realise that TMI had flouted a Code of Ethics by deliberately deceiving the public with false statements.

The role of such watchdog bodies should be to pressure fellow journalists to report truth. They and other critics should not derail the whole scenario by accusing the government of victimising TMI, Huan said.

Defending the governments action and arguing that they acted within the parameters of duty, he added, Had this occurred in other authoritarian governments, the whole portal would have been closed down, owners fined and guilty ones immediately charged.

He made reference to 16-year-old Amos Yee of Singapore who insulted the late Lee Kuan Yew and Christians in a YouTube video, saying that was a good example of how strict enforcement shows no mercy.
