This Video Does Not Show a Muslim Crowd Calling for Violence in Europe

Misbar investigated the circulating video and found the claim to be misleading.

Misbar’s team investigated the footage and found that the chants did not include any violent anti-religious remarks.

The Video Shows a Muslim Crowd Reciting Shahadah

Misbar’s team reviewed the video and found no violent remarks heard targeting any religion, contrary to social media trolls' claim.

The footage shows a group of Muslims walking through a street while chanting the Shahadah, the first pillar of Islam. In the video, the crowd chants, “There is no God but Allah, and Muhammad is His messenger.”

The video began circulating on December 12. While details about the exact location and occasion are unclear, the gathering appears to be in Europe, possibly celebrating the toppling of the Bashar al-Assad regime on December 8. The footage shows individuals wearing and raising Syrian flags during the event.

Syrians Celebrate the Fall of Assad’s Regime

On December 8, opposition factions led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) group toppled Bashar al-Assad's regime, ending over 50 years of his family’s rule in Syria. 

Syrians both inside the country and abroad took to the streets to celebrate the fall of Assad's tyranny.

In his first public comments since his regime’s collapse, Assad addressed the situation through the Syrian presidency’s Telegram channel. 

The statement revealed he left Damascus for Russia on December 8, “a day after the fall” of the city. Assad claimed he never considered stepping down or seeking refuge, stating, “The only course of action was to continue fighting against the terrorist onslaught.”

He claimed he remained in Damascus “carrying out my duties” until opposition factions entered the city. He stated that Russian forces first relocated him to their base in Latakia and then to Moscow.

Five Killed in German Christmas Market Attack

A driver rammed a car into a crowded Christmas market in Magdeburg, Germany. The terror incident left at least five people dead and injured more than 200 others.

Authorities are investigating the motive of the suspect, identified by a U.S. activist group as Taleb al-Abdulmohsen, a 50-year-old Saudi Arabian citizen who lived in Germany for over a decade.

Horst Walter Nopens, the chief of the Magdeburg Public Prosecutor’s Office, stated that they need more time to determine the suspect's motive.
