    The title is part of the report, moron. There are no special rules that mean you can lie in the title, moron. There are no special rules that mean you have to expand on every detail in the title or else it’s not true, moron.

      I’m having a hard time understanding your comment. Are you implying that media outlets don’t lie in their headlines? Are you perhaps implying that claims don’t require evidence for you to believe them?

        Jesus. I’m not implying anything, everything I’ve said is explicit. Perhaps you’re having a hard time understanding because you’re looking for hidden meaning where none was intended?

        The claim was made by the top level commenter, NOT_RICK. The evidence supporting this claim is the news report (and various others in the thread). That is the end of it. If you want to make a new claim, e.g. that this source is lying, then go ahead and do so. With evidence.

        What you’re doing is called sealioning and there is no end to it. You wouldn’t accept the evidence unless the man himself came to your house and told you he was Muslim to your face. And then only if people were watching.
