In December 2023, the Internet was a video allegedly showing the protest of a Muslim who moved to Europe. We checked whether such a description of what happened correctly.
In a nine -second video, a man stands in a characteristic position above products in the meat department of the supermarket, while a murmur is heard. A person who takes him from the back pronounces something in an unfamiliar language, and then says in English: “We Don’t Eat Pork” (“We do not eat pork”).
According to social networks, the case takes place in one of the Netherlands supermarkets, and the creators of the video are Muslim migrants, who in this way show their attitude to the product dirty from the point of view of Islam. With a similar description of the video, many Russian -speaking social networks bypassed, and gained the most popularity "VKontakte"And Telegram - on the channels"Ax 18+"(1.8 million views at the time of writing of the material),"Nevzorov"(480 000),"Sanya in Florida"(402 000),"Truha. Tin 18+"(292 000), Voblya (133,000), "Bottle"(130 000) and"Eggplant"(128 000).
The language in which the man who takes the process on the camera is really Dutch speaks. Complete his phrase sounds like this: “Bro, are you a radical only because you don’t eat pork? Wow! We do not eat pork! We don't eat pork! "
In Russian -language social networks video It spread From the afternoon of December 17. However, it is easy to notice that in other languages it has become popular even earlier - for example, in the social network X there is an English -speaking publication With more than 3 million views. Then, on the day of December 17, a video with an appropriate description Shared British right -wing politician, ardent opponent of Muslim immigrants Paul Golding (more than 1 million views). The video did not ignore the Dutch right - the record also Published Gerte Wilders, the leader of the Freedom Party, who won the recent elections. At one time he declaredthat he would have kicked out the Prophet Muhammad from the country, be it an immigrant.
The earliest discovered “verified” the publication of a viral video took place much earlier - on December 14 this was done in Tiktok And Instagram Users with the same name Buurtwacht.
As in Wilders tweet, the place of action is the supermarket of the Albert Heijn network - it is mentioned both in hashtags and in subtitles to the video. However, in the original source there is no hint that the authors of the video are migrants and/or Muslims.
In general, Buurtwacht accounts in social networks are full of humorous videos with elements of the draw, and in some rollers a blogger, standing with his back to the camera, also imitates urination.
At the same time, it is very doubtful that the hero does this actually - the liquid has no color, and, most likely, a bottle of water that the Dutchman carries with him in some other publications is used. In the case of a supermarket, even a jet is not visible, and the sound of murmuring water is probably a sound effect.
Facts from Snopes Contacted With the authors of the video through social networks, and they confirmed that there is no real urination in the video. They noted that the sound of dripping urine was added through the audio editor, and also reported the Muslim religion of the hero of the video, however, the immigrant is not. December 20 on the Buurtwatcht channel on YouTube video Under the name “I deceived the whole world”, in which the author explained in detail the mechanics of this and similar draws using a bottle. Then, already “verified” contacted the press service of the Albert Heijn supermarket network. They replied that they conducted an internal investigation on this occasion and found out: no reports of incidents from stores were received.
Thus, the video spread through social networks is a draw that is not accompanied by real urination, and the scandalous context was added to it by other users who took it behind a clean coin.
