'Isis flag' picture that claims to show refugees attacking police goes viral — and is a lie
A picture that purports to be of refugees carrying Isis flags and attacking police has been shared widely on social media this week — but the picture is old, probably doesn't show an Isis flag, and has nothing to do with refugees.
The image has been picked up by a range of right-wing outlets, including the Conservative Post, and has been shared tens of thousands of times since. That site said that it was a "new leaked picture" that "confirmed" its claims about Isis smuggling in agents among refugees.
The images confirm a theory that has taken hold among many right-wing sites — that Isis is using the Syrian refugee crisis to bring thousands of terrorists into Europe, among people who are fleeing the group.
The picture appears to have come from protests in Bonn in May 2012. The protest began as one by a then ascendant far-right political party in the country, and the Muslims in the picture were part of a counter-protest.
Other uploads were around at the same time, confirming that the picture is just over three years old.
Video of what appears to be the same protest — at an anti-Islam rally in Bonn — can be seen on YouTube. The footage was uploaded on 2012, and appear to come from the same year — long before the flag took off as a widely-understood symbol of Isis.
(The flag can be seen at around 0.03, at the very left of the line.)
