Viral Video Falsely Linked to Alleged Church Arson by Pakistani Muslims in Wales

A viral video shared on X has been falsely presented as footage of two Pakistani Muslims recently setting fire to a church in Wales, in the United Kingdom.

The clip attracted millions of views on the platform. Posts circulating it alleged that it documented a recent arson attack and identified the supposed perpetrators by nationality and religion.

An open-source verification investigation found the claim attached to the video to be false. The footage does not substantiate the account promoted in the posts.

The verification summary did not provide details of the video’s original location or date. Its finding concerns the false narrative circulating with the clip, rather than establishing that the footage itself was digitally manipulated.
