On 20 March 2018, the Facebook page “News World” posted a video which claims it shows “Muslim immigrants” attacking a Catholic church during mass in France. The video does actually show a actual event that happened in France in March 2018, but this isn’t the correct video that goes with this event. In reality, “the protesters did not “attack” a Catholic church, and mass was not in session during the incident as it was claimed.” “What the footage actually shows is an protest at the Basilica of Saint-Denis in France against a proposed bill that would make it more difficult for people to seek asylum in the country on March 18, 2018. According to a news report from Le Parisien, about eighty people went into the church with banners to protest the bill, and the demonstration (which remained nonviolent) ended after a little more than an hour, when the group was escorted out of the church by police.”
