Awareness video shared with false anti-Muslim spin

Using InVID, a video verification tool, Alt News performed a reverse image search on Google and found that Facebook page LOBO 619’s post gives key context about the video.

LOBO 619 posted the video on Novermber 11. As per the video’s description, “These short films are for educational purposes only!”

Thus, an awareness video was shared with a false claim targetting Muslims. Recently, Alt News has debunked other such awareness videos (1, 2) shared with an anti-Muslim spin.
