'Five churches set on fire by Muslims? ' Fake news by Islamophobic social media accounts.
Some social media accounts associated with sharing anti-immigrant views claim that French Muslims were responsible for the burning of five churches on October 17 - the day the nation was rocked by mass protests. But both this number and the story are fictitious. The French government agency that monitors religious heritage sites has confirmed that only one church fire has occurred in recent days; Its cause is unknown.
