EDL Leader Shares FAKE ‘Muslims Celebrate Boston Bombing’ Story

Far-right sites, blogs and hate groups have circulated articles that claim ‘Muslims’ were ‘dancing in the streets of Gaza’ after the horrific Boston marathon attack and handed out sweets.

We, at EDLReview, exposed this story to be a fake story (here), which was just an attempt to demonize Islam and Muslims.

Created by proponents of the extreme far-right, the only ‘proof’ the articles had were some pictures and one video, which we found out to be over a year old. As we know, the Boston Bombings happened some days ago.

We also uncovered how various English Defence League (EDL) Divisions and allies shared this fake story en masse (here). But what we also came to realise was that the EDL leader Tommy Robinson also shared the story from the biased Israel News Agency on his Twitter.


His oversees allies, hate-group founders Robert Spencer and Pamela Geller, also circulated this fake story from the same news agency. It’s no surprise.
