Bob Arctor Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The far-right 'news' website Breitbart has completely made up a story about a mob setting fire to Germany's oldest church while chanting "Allahu Akbar" https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jan/07/german-police-quash-breitbart-story-of-mob-setting-fire-to-dortmund-church It's important to know this if either you come across a Breitbart article that you might otherwise assume was true, or if other people cite Breitbart as a source of information that has influenced their opinion. They make things up to whip up hatred against Muslims and migrants, and there is a clear parallel between this and anti-Jewish propaganda in the 1930s. Beware.

They make things up to whip up hatred against Muslims and migrants, and there is a clear parallel between this and anti-Jewish propaganda in the 1930s. Beware. However, the facts are that a crowd of foreign people surrounded the church chanting Allahu Akhbar and the church caught fire. Breitbart is trash reporting and blowing the facts out of proportion to make nonsense, but the German Police are also very good at denying racially aggravated anti social behaviour as well, as seen on NYE a few years ago ('what attacks?'). http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/edited-1038-headline-works-well-a7512636.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
