On social media, a video is going viral. While sharing the video users claim that “A Muslim man living in London told the British: ‘According to the Quran, I have to cut off your head’ What do you think?”
Fact Check
DFRAC team investigated the viral claim. On investigation, DFRAC found that the man had not said that he was going to cut off his head. In this video, the man can be heard saying “You’re an Israel Supporter? Yeah, Well on the holy Quran I would actually smack you across the head” It means to beat someone severely.
Furthermore, we also found the similar video on X handle of Oli London tweeted on 27 Nov 2023 showing similar things.
Conclusion
It is evident from the DFRAC’s fact check that the viral claim of man threatening to cut off the head, according to the Quran is False. In the video, the man has not used the words- ‘cutting off the head’. Therefore, the claim of social media users is misleading.
