The "peace" princess who turned out to be an antisemite frog

"Young Muslim woman trolls anti-Muslim demo with defiant selfies"
"Muslim woman's cheeky selfie with anti-Islam group goes viral"
"Muslim Woman Takes ‘Peace Selfie’ In Front Of Anti-Muslim Protesters"
"This Woman Took A Selfie With Anti-Muslim Protesters And The Internet Went Berserk"

These are some of the headlines dedicated to Zakia Belkhiri, a 22 y.o. who has become some kind of hero after, as described by the BBC, "When hijab-wearing Zakia Belkhiri saw members of a far-right anti-Islam group protesting outside an Islamic lifestyle event she was attending in Belgium she responded like a true Millennial.
The 22-year-old took out her phone and snapped a series of selfies with members of Vlaams Belang - a far-right nationalist group who some have described as "openly anti-Muslim"."

The problem? Not all people read the headline and retweet the photo, without any further thinking. So some people digged a little in her social networks, and turned out that the "peace hero", was a jew hater.

And it was not the only message, as you can see here.

"The photo that fooled the world"

We talked about the drowned syrian boy photo that was used by mass media to manipulate public opinion.

This made me think of another photo. The most famous photo from the Bosnian War, and that helped to convince the public opinion against the Serbs.

It was even cover of the Time Magazine:

The headline is quite explicit: "MUST IT GO ON?"

But what if this photo is not what it seems?

"The fact is that Fikret Alic and his fellow Bosnian Muslims were not imprisoned behind a barbed wire fence. There was no barbed wire fence surrounding Trnopolje camp. It was not a prison, and certainly not a 'concentration camp', but a collection centre for refugees, many of whom went there seeking safety and could leave again if they wished.

The barbed wire in the picture is not around the Bosnian Muslims; it is around the cameraman and the journalists. It formed part of a broken-down barbed wire fence encircling a small compound that was next to Trnopolje camp. The British news team filmed from inside this compound, shooting pictures of the refugees and the camp through the compound fence. In the eyes of many who saw them, the resulting pictures left the false impression that the Bosnian Muslims were caged behind barbed wire.", as explained here.

You can see a documentary exposing the truth about this image. I think the most revealing of all are the images from 0:47 and on of the second part of the video.

And now the last question... We saw this image everywhere, but why the western viewers never saw pictures of Mujahideens fighting for the Bosnian side?

carrying the black flag of Islamic jihad.

The green banners on their heads which read: “Our path is the Jihad”

written in Arabic script.

But, although these soldiers were unknown in the West, you can read in Wikipedia a defense of them, which is quite ironic.


You could arguee that these images, like many existing others, of the mujahideens fighting for the Bosnian side, were not as shocking as the "manipulated" image of Trnopolje... But what about beheaded soldiers?

Surely photos of beheaded soldiers are shocking. And the western media has shown a lot of images like that (blurred or pixelated, almost always, it's true)  from the Islamic State. So why didn't they show these horrible crimes when the victims were serbs in Bosnia and Kosovo??

The story behind Aylan Kurdi's death

This is one of those photos that from time to time shock the world. They are published in the cover of many newspapers, apear in the news, and are shared in Twitter and Facebook. Usually, there is only a headline with the photo.

You can not imagine anything more sad than what we see in this photo. So it is human, to want to stop it. And here is were propaganda comes in, when the headline is shaped, usually by mass media.

But, for some unknown reason, when we dig behind these iconic photos, we usually find stories that differ from the headline

This photo as many other before had been used to model public opninion. We can see a good example of how this photo changed public opinion (and therefore political agenda) in these two news from the UK: Cameron 'deeply moved' by Syria boy death and the next day David Cameron: UK to accept 'thousands' more Syrian refugees, or as described in The Independent:

"2 September: pictures of three-year-old Aylan al-Kurdi, drowned in his Syrian family’s attempt to reach Greece from Turkey, provoke a wave of public sympathy for refugees.

3 September: the slogan ‘refugees welcome’ goes viral; 250,000 people in 48 hours back an ‘Independent’ petition calling for Britain to take its fair share of refugees. Mr Cameron says Britain will fulful its ‘moral responsibilities’."

But, as usual, the complete story was hidden from the public.

Some facts:

1. Abdullah Kurdi was living and working in Istanbul before the sea crossing
2. He and his family were renting a small house paid for by his sister
3. Kurdi worked for £5.50 a day supervising women making Islamic garments
4. A passenger on the doomed boat claims Kurdi was working with the gang

Let's put the allegations made on the last point aside (Second passenger claims Aylan Kurdi’s father was working with people smugglers and was driving the boat on which his son died), because they don't change the point. The point is:

"But once the family settled in Turkey nearly a year ago, could the Kurdis still truly be classed as refugees in the same plight as those sheltering in a dusty tented city?"

So they were not refugees fleeing from death and destruction but migrants looking for a better life. A better life or better teeth for his father...?

I have read many times that the real reason the family took this dangerous trip was because the child's father, Abdullah Kurdi, wanted new teeth. But I couldn't find the source of this version, so I didn't want to publish it.

But here is the source: child's aunt, Teema Kurdi explains in Sky News:

“The situation is that Abdullah does not have any teeth. Another story about it. So I been trying to help him fix his teeth. But is gonna cost me 14,000 and up to do it. He need teeth implant. So when I told him there is now way I can get you the money in one time because dentist need to get paid right away and Western Union usually – if I send them the money – they only allowed 1,000 at a time – not under their name of course – has to be a third person to collect the money and give it them. So I said to him, actually my dad, he come up with the idea, he said to me, "I think if they go to Europe for his case and for our future, I think he should do that, and then we’ll see if he can fix his teeth." And that’s what I did three weeks ago.”
