A video appearing to show Muslims pretending to pray on public transport in Europe has been shared on X by Islamophobic accounts, which have condemned the group as an example of Muslims behaving badly. However, viewers have pointed out that the three men do not appear to be performing salah (Islamic prayer) correctly, exposing the footage which depicts fake worship. Sujud (prostration) is performed twice in each rak’ah (unit of prayer), not three or more times, as appears to be the case in the video. Far-right accounts are known to peddle misinformation such as sharing fake AI-generated images depicting Muslims acting badly in public. Such content is designed to fuel anti-Muslim hostility by portraying Islamic prayer as a supposed “show of force” or an act of “domination”.
