Here was my instant response:

Looking forward to young Muslims performing Mendelssohn, Copland, Bernstein, Bloch, Gershwin, et al. https://t.co/d3I60SBa3T

Here’s the actual story at the link.

And here’s the correct headline:

Holocaust Victims’ Violins Restored and Teaching Younger Generation of Musicians

It would take Sigmund Freud to unpack this whopper. The media’s obsession with Muslims, and casting them as the new Jews, subject to extreme and irrational prejudice is now completely out of hand.
