15:26 Muslim hero' stories proved untrue A compelling story about a heroic Muslim security guard stopping a suicide bomber from entering the Stade de France on Friday is making the rounds on social media. But it's not true, BBC Trending report The rumour sprang from a gripping account of the events outside the stadium which was published by the Wall Street Journal on Sunday. But the Journal later confirmed its source - identified solely by his first name, Zouheir - was stationed elsewhere in the stadium and related what he heard from colleagues. No mention was made in the story of his religion But it hasn't stopped social media from crowning him a "Muslim hero". "Zouheir" has been mentioned more than 8,000 times on wiie Meanwhile, an authentic story of a Muslim hero has emerged from the Paris attacks Getty Images Fans were ewacuated tom the Stade de France ater a series df xsplosions

Imagine a bowl of M&Ms. 10% of them are poisoned Go ahead. Eat a handfu Not all M&Ms are poison The Frogman nails it. (via cometothemyscira) 2015 shared post 3 hrs 10 hrs Edited e Apparently there's a tweet going around comparing refugees to M&Ms, and saying if 10 out of 10,000 M&Ms were poisoned would liberals eat a handful. I'd sincerely like to believe that if me risking 1 to 1000 odds of death meant saving even a dozen lives and making sure innocent children had a safe place to live and grow up, I'd take those odds in a heartbeat.

OH, what a surprise! Heh heh, it's so sad that people think that stories like this, whether they are real or not, will really convince people, bigoted or not, any differently. So what if a Muslim saved someone?

What matters if that another person saved another person's life, you don't see articles like: Christian saves man from burning fire or even a shooting, who gives a crap if that he is Christian?

I know I sound like a fucking Conservative shitbag, but I find it a little sad that it has become a common thing that every time a radical-Muslim terror attack is made, sure we still have mourning, but just an immediate barrage of: "PLS DON'T BE MEAN TO MUSLIMS OR GIVE THEM SUCH A HARD TIME!" or make up shit like this.

Shocking surprise: Most people, besides a minor groups of assholes most likely on 4chan, are paying attention to the horrible event that caused said amount of death and suffering.
