Media Hoax: 20 Muslims Holding Hands Become 1,000-Strong ‘Ring of Peace’ at Oslo Synagogue

[depotoo]

Edthecynic-

Reread the Fox title, dear. There was more than 1 Muslim there.
And if you look at Bretbart, Inform posted a video claiming a 1000 Muslims. Also, see below-

More than 1 000 Muslims form ring of peace around Norwegian synagogue - Worcester Telegram Gazette - telegram.com
Norway s Muslims form protective human ring around synagogue - International - Jerusalem Post

[edthecynic]

Exactly, it is the dishonest Right wing media that ADDED the word "Muslims" to the title that was not in the original AP story. If you notice some of the lying wing-nut media forgot to add "Muslims" to the body of the story and reported it exactly as AP did, "PEOPLE" not "Muslims." The number of young Muslims who initiated the ring is NOT reported!

"More than 1,000 people formed a "ring of peace" Saturday outside Oslo's main synagogue at the initiative of a group of young Muslims."

According to the Norway Post, there were 1500 in the protest.

Ring of Peace around Oslo Synagogue

There was no hoax.

Funny no pictures in the link that I saw.

If it comes from Breitbart it doesn't count.

I assume that's sarcasm.

Another example of how the Right lies to the gullible fools. They make up a lie, that the "media" reported 1,000 "Muslims" form a ring of peace when the media actually reported that they were joined by a thousand people, not that there were a thousand Muslims. Of course FOX "reported" the 1,000 Muslims lie, but they are not legitimate media so they don't count.

Sikhs are often targeted because ignorant people think they are Muslims.

Here's some examples of non-existent Islamophobia (guess they just slapped a kid)

History of Hate Crimes Against Sikhs Since 9 11

bullshit----muslims are ENCOURAGED to report hate crimes against ISLAAAAM to the point that they reported nonsense------How do I know------I was THERE. I had close relationship with the COPs and the FIREMAN who---in my city were first responders

Sept. 15, 2001 -- Mesa, Ariz.: Four days after the infamous attacks of 9/11, Balbir Singh Sodhi, a 49-year-old Sikh, is shot and killed outside the gas station he owned by Frank Silva Roque. When police approached to arrest him, Roque says, “I'm a patriot and an American. I'm American. I'm a damn American.” [More from HuffPost.]

Nov. 18, 2001 -- Palermo, N.Y.: Three teens burn down Gobind Sadan, a gurdwara (Sikh temple) in New York, because they thought it was named for Osama bin Laden. [More from BeliefNet and Tribune of India.]

Dec. 12, 2001 -- Los Angeles, Calif.: Surinder Singh Sidhi, a liquor store owner in Los Angeles who took to wearing an American flag turban after 9/11 out of fear of being attacked, is beaten in his store by two men who accuse of him of being Osama bin Laden. [More from Real Sikhism.]

Aug. 6, 2002 -- Daly City, Calif.: Sukhpal Singh, brother of Balbir Singh Sodhi, who was the first Sikh murdered following 9/11, is shot while driving his cab. [More from HuffPost, Real Sikhism and Sikh American Legal Defense and Education Fund.]

May 20, 2003 -- Phoenix, Ariz.: Fifty-two-year-old Sikh immigrant and truck driver Avtar Singh is shot in his 18-wheeler while waiting for his son to pick him up. As he is being shot, he hears someone say: “Go back to where you belong.” [More from Real Sikhism.]

July 12, 2004 -- New York, N.Y.: Rajinder Singh Khalsa and Gurcharan Singh, cousins on their way to dinner at a restaurant, are beaten by two drunk white twentysomething men. The attackers describe Gurcharan’s turban as a “curtain.” When Rajinder tries to intervene, saying that Sikhs are peaceful, he is beaten unconscious and suffers a fractured eye socket, among other injuries. [More from Real Sikhism.]

Jan. 14, 2008 -- New Hyde Park, N.Y.: A 63-year-old Sikh, Baljeet Singh, has his jaw and nose broken when attacked outside his temple by a man who lived next-door. David Wood, the attacker, had apparently disturbed members of the gurdwara in the past. [More from United Sikhs.]

Jan. 30, 2009 -- Queens, N.Y.: Three men attack Jasmir Singh outside of a grocery store. Racial slurs are heard. A broken glass bottle is used. Singh loses vision in his left eye. [More from NY Daily News and United Sikhs.]

Aug. 5, 2012 -- Oak Creek, Wis.: A gunman is shot dead by police after he opened fire in a gurdwara during Sikh prayer services, killing six. [More from HuffPost.]

Should i post hates crimes against Jews since 9/11? I posted the FBI stats for 2012... Like i said your info is weak and scripted

Those are generally very weak stories actually There were very little anti-muslim "attacks" here after 9/11. Anti Jew attacks far out weigh anything anti muslim anywhere in the world, but your'e here to push your narrative.

Not according to FBI statistics - the same statistics that record anti-semitic viiolence.

Frankly, I always assumed attacks against ANY innocent people mattered and no one life weighed more than another.

You certainly have an interesting outlook on the value of life.

Religious bias
Of the 1,340 victims of an anti-religious hate crime:

• 62.4 percent were victims of an offender’s anti-Jewish bias.
• 11.6 percent were victims of an anti-Islamic bias.
• 7.5 percent were victims of a bias against groups of individuals of varying religions (anti-multiple religions, group).
• 6.4 percent were victims of an anti-Catholic bias.
• 2.6 percent were victims of an anti-Protestant bias.
• 0.9 percent were victims of an anti-Atheist/Agnostic bias.
• 8.6 percent were victims of a bias against other religions (anti-other religion). (Based on Table 1

• FBI Victims

Hate crimes are grossly underreported and Muslims are less likely to report it. And yes - hate crimes against Jews are higher than those against Muslim. However - anti-Muslim hate crimes have gone up, hugely, since 9/11 Anti-Muslim hate crimes are still five times more common today than before 9 11 - The Washington Post Even when you take into acount the spike that followed 9/11 it is still many times higher than before. Hate crimes against Muslims are the second largest group of religious crimes.

And again: I always assumed attacks against ANY innocent people mattered and no one life weighed more than another.

do you have a link to support your assertion that muslims are "LESS LIKELY"
to report hate crimes against themselves?

Statistics - Muslim Public Affairs Council
According to the LACCHR'S 2003 report, many immigrant groups including Asians, Middle Easterners and Latinos, are likely to under-report hate crimes against them for several cultural reasons, such as reluctance to contact authorities, lack of familiarity with hate crime laws, etc.

Any crime against any human is wrong. Why you are so hell bent on making this just about Muslim's being treated badly, floors me. And don't claim you aren't. How do you know that crimes against Jews-which are already almost 6 times higher than against Muslins- don't also go unreported? And I do know of crimes against Jews that have gone unreported.

Everyone of those llinks is reported by faith matters? Wow. Who'd have known. Does that mean that if anti-semitic attacks are reported by Jewish groups it's likely fake?

Links to articles were provided.

Those are generally very weak stories actually There were very little anti-muslim "attacks" here after 9/11. Anti Jew attacks far out weigh anything anti muslim anywhere in the world, but your'e here to push your narrative.

Have you notice any libturd forum members using this story as proof that not all Muslims support terrorism? It turns out the story is a colossal hoax! Yet again we have confirmation that liberals are the world's biggest suckers!

Media Hoax 20 Muslims Holding Hands Become 1 000-Strong Ring of Peace at Oslo Synagogue - Breitbart​

The weekend’s feel-good story about a Muslim “ring of peace” formed to “protect” Jews at an Oslo synagogue turned out to be a complete fabrication by the mainstream media, according to an eyewitness report, local officials, and attendees’ photos. According to a local eyewitness, only about 20 or so Muslims formed the “ring of peace” around the Oslo synagogue. In fact, pictures from multiple angles show that there wasn’t enough people to form a ring, so the locals instead formed a horizontal line in front of the synagogue.​

According to the Norway Post, there were 1500 in the protest.

do you have a link to support your assertion that muslims are "LESS LIKELY"
to report hate crimes against themselves?

Statistics - Muslim Public Affairs Council
According to the LACCHR'S 2003 report, many immigrant groups including Asians, Middle Easterners and Latinos, are likely to under-report hate crimes against them for several cultural reasons, such as reluctance to contact authorities, lack of familiarity with hate crime laws, etc.

muslim Public Affairs Council has it's origins in the muslim Brotherhood as does CAIR

MPAC claims that Islam is a religion of peace and moderation, and contends that Muslim extremists are no more numerous or dangerous than fundamentalists in any other faith. “There are radical Christian, Jewish and Hindu movements, too,” says MPAC, “which are also capable of slaughtering innocents.” On occasion, MPAC has publicly condemned Islamic suicide bombings. These condemnations, however, are invariably accompanied by endorsements of Muslim “resistance” and “armed struggle” which MPAC frames as justified retribution against prior Israeli or Western transgressions.

Holding Israel entirely responsible for the "pattern of violence" in the Middle East, MPAC asserts that Hezbollah “could be called a liberation movement.” The Council likens Hezbollah members to American “freedom fighters hundreds of years ago whom the British regarded as terrorists.” In a November 1997 speech at the University of Pennsylvania, MPAC Co-Founder and Executive Director Salam Al-Marayati steadfastlyrefused to call Hezbollah a terrorist organization; he justified the existence of Hamasas a political entity and a provider of social programs and “educational operations”; and he equated jihad with the sentiments of the American statesman Patrick Henry, whose “Give me liberty or give me death” declaration was, in Al-Marayati’s view, “a way of looking at the term jihad from an American perspective.” In a 1999 position paper, MPAC justified Hezbollah’s deadly 1983 bombing of the American Marine barracks in Lebanon as a "military operation" rather than a terrorist attack. As Maher Hathout puts it: "Hezbollah is fighting for freedom, an organized army, limiting its operations against military people, this is a legitimate target against occupation. … this is legitimate, this is an American value -- freedom and liberty."

MPAC’s worldview is further revealed by its many additional public statements on a wide array of issues and events:

• According to MPAC: “Israel was established by terrorism”; its founding “involved the unjust and illegal usurpation of Muslim and Christian land and rights”; and “to recognize the legitimacy of that crime is a crime in itself.”
• MPAC characterizes Israel as a “racist, chauvinistic and militaristic” state that is prosecuting “a war to steal land from Palestinians, to decimate their leadership, to humiliate the Palestinian people.”
• Condemning Israel’s “apartheid-like ideology,” MPAC warns: “History shows that Muslim and Christian religious rights are not safe under Israeli occupation.”
• Israelis are “the worst terrorists in the world,” says MPAC, “… Yet Israel is not found on the list of state sponsors of terrorism in the [U.S.] State Department Report on Terrorism.”
• MPAC co-sponsored pro-Palestinian rallies in the fall of 2000, where MPAC speakers chanted “Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews, the Army of Muhammed is coming for you!” The rally featured literature and many placards calling for the annihilation of the Jews and Israel.
• A few hours after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, MPAC Co-Founder Salam Al-Marayati told a Los Angeles talk radio audience: "If we're going to look at suspects, we should look at the groups that benefit the most from these kinds of incidents, and I think we should put the state of Israel on the suspect list because I think this diverts attention from what's happening in the Palestinian territories so that they can go on with their aggression and occupation and apartheid policies."

• MPAC speakers regularly complain that the U.S. is “dominated” by Zionists and favors Jews over Muslims.
• Opposed to efforts to shut down Islamic charities that fund terrorism -- alleging that such efforts interfere with freedom of religion and the exercise of the Muslim obligation to give to charity -- MPAC states that the U.S. government should instead investigate what it terms Jewish “terrorists” like the Jewish Defense League. The Council signed and sponsored a petition to reinstate the assets of Hamas’ charitable front, the Holy Land Foundation for Relief and Development, after it was designated as a front for terrorist financing.
• According to MPAC, “A major threat to the safety of the Muslim community is the Islam-bashing that has been very evident since 9/11. There has been a steady stream of attacks on the Quran … These attacks are vicious, mean-spirited, and politically motivated. … [T]he most sustained and vitriolic [attacks] are from right-wing Christian groups led by Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson.”
• The MPAC 2002 Annual Banquet featured Ali Al-Mazrui, a SUNY-Binghamton professor who said: "There is also suspicion that some members of the Bush administration in collusion with Israel are more than ready to plunge the Middle East into turmoil in the hope that the final outcome would be to the territorial advantage of Israel and the strategic advantage of the United States. All this is part of the emerging external sadism of the United States, a readiness to hurt others abroad."

It's not a lie. Reuters is not Liberal, so by definition it must be Right-wing.

Why lie?

Again, how is that a "media" hoax?

Obviously there wasn't 1000 Muslims there as many headlines implied.

But some Right wing headlines said there were 1,000 Muslims. As was pointed out, AP reported it correctly and Reuters reported it wrong. For the most part those media that cited AP, Left or Right, got it correct and those who cited Reuters, Left or Right got it wrong. Why would the Right-wing media citing Reuters be pulling a hoax. The real hoaxers are the ones accusing the media of a hoax.

Since when is Reuters "right-wing?"

Since always.

do you have a link to support your assertion that muslims are "LESS LIKELY"
to report hate crimes against themselves?

answer from coyote
Statistics - Muslim Public Affairs Council
According to the LACCHR'S 2003 report, many immigrant groups including Asians, Middle Easterners and Latinos, are likely to under-report hate crimes against them for several cultural reasons, such as reluctance to contact authorities, lack of familiarity with hate crime laws, etc.

from rosie>>>
I am still waiting for a link to YOUR assertion COYOTE---that
MUSLIMS are less likely to report hate crimes In the post 9-11
period they were reporting "crimes" that did not exist all the way
to ------on the NEW SUBWAY system "SOMEBOY LOOKED AT ME
WITH HOSTILITY" "a person pulled my hijab" was the most common
shit mouth lie-----somehow such acts were never witnessed by an impartial
entity. The cops were beside themselves----being FORCED to make this
idiot claim a "report" Same people who refuse to make reports on petty
vandalisms like -------swawstikas-----the one on the side of my house ----
the one I lived in back then-----is still there---- no one cares---including me.
Wherever there are muslims-----they used to show up----but not in the Italian
sections of town. Plaster garden Marys----no longer get smashed
either
