Beware the shoe-stealing Jews!

Post by fgalkin »

A founding member of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK urged people to share his bizarre Facebook post about a shoe that went missing while he slept.

However, while the post was indeed shared, hundreds of times, Asghar Bukhari did not get the response he might have intended.

Within hours, the hashtag #Mossadstolemyshoe was trending on Twitter, in a reference to the Israeli counter terrorism unit. However, Mr Bukhari claimed the fact that he was being mocked amounted to “intimidation of Muslim speakers” – for which he blamed Zionists.

He posted his original message on Facebook on Friday along with an image of a boy wearing just one shoe. It was headlined: “Are Zionists trying to intimidate me?”

Mr Bukhari wrote: “Someone came into my home yesterday, while I was asleep. I don’t know how they got in, but they didn't break in - the only thing they took was one shoe.”

The campaigner claimed “they left one shoe behind to let me know someone had been there". He added: “Of course I can't prove anything and that’s part of the intimidation. The game is simple - to make me feel vulnerable in my own home.”

He went on to write: “It is not the first time I have heard this happening. I have had another Muslim leader call me a year or so ago, in tears - she told me they had been coming into her house and re-arranging things - just to let her know they had been there.”

He suggested: “Share this widely, for if it is happening to me, I am sure it happening to many, many others who have not exposed it.”

Twitter users who picked up on the post mocked Mr Bukhari for his comments. Several suggested their dogs were secretly working for Mossad.

While other wags came up with novel ways to combat shoe thieves - from secret cameras to tying the laces together.

Mr Bukhari seemed to take this in his stride, retweeting various stories about his post going viral. He went on to post a 15 minute Youtube video repeating his claims.

In a tweet on Sunday morning he wrote: "Zionists organised over twitter over this campaign of intimidation of Muslim speakers. They really trying to hide something. Too late [sic].”

The Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK describes itself as a grassroots civil liberties organisation that works to “expose and counter the sinister and toxic anti Muslim narrative that permeates mainstream politics and media". It has been accused of being an extremist and anti-Semitic militant body and is banned from many universities as a hate group.

I thought the Jews just stole your children and your money.

Sometimes, they also steal organs. And now, apparently, also shoes!

You'd think a practical Jew would just steal your kid so they could churn out all the new shoes they want.

Children cost upkeep and child labour laws are fairly tough. Best to just get shoes direct.

No no, that's an urban legend. We only steal your money. As for your children, they're great for blood sacrifice and all, but mostly that's just too much work.

But this Twitter thing is absurd. We only steal expensive, designer shoes, obviously.

Well, that plan failed. But the plan to discredit him is working.

Israeli government or certain people in Israel does not equal the Jews. Saying that the Jews did steal organs is racist, plain and simple.

No No No NO!!!! remember you have to add at least seven 'O's to JOOOOOOOs!!! in order to get the proper effect, and if you REALLY want to get it right, you add the phrase 'Evil Shapeshifting Lizard' to the beginning. So, you have: Evil Shapeshifting Lizard JOOOOOs!

I'm worried because I often loose socks. I can deal with pretty harmless gnomes but not with zionists breaking into my house

Y'know, if I woke up and found a shoe missing, I'd probably think, "Man, I must've had more to drink than I thought," not, "There is a conspiracy of state-sponsored secret agents fucking with my shoes!" Maybe I'm naive...

I'm... not entirely certain what point you're trying to make here.
There are hardly any excesses of the most crazed psychopath that cannot easily be duplicated by a normal kindly family man who just comes in to work every day and has a job to do.

Aren't shoes a pretty big issue in Muslim culture anyways? I mean the whole "Showing someone the soles of your feet" insult, or throwing shoes at someone you don't like.

Nonsense.

Clearly, there's a conspiracy ... afoot.

Well, the organ thing is not entirely untrue. I seem to remember a number of arrests and associated scandals involving an illegal organ trafficking ring that serviced the needs of israelis...

But that is neither here nor there, and the idea that Israelis broke into a man's home to steal shoes is just... Hilarious
