#ParisAttacks Fake video by Hate Video Channel on YouTube

BACKGROUND


[On the morning of 7 January 2015 at about 11:30 local time, two brothers, Saïd and Chérif Kouachi, forced their way into the offices of the French satirical weekly newspaper Charlie Hebdo in Paris. Armed with assault rifles and other weapons, they killed 11 people and injured 11 others in the building. After leaving, they killed a French National Police officer outside the building. The gunmen identified themselves as belonging to the Islamist terrorist group Al-Qaeda's branch in Yemen, who took responsibility for the attack.]

[Cricket World Cup 2015 started from the mid January 2015. As soon as the schedule was announced, Pakistani youths like from all others cricket playing nations started cheering for their team. Please see this link which is from Cricket Dot Com PK (http://schedule.cricket.com.pk/) which gives details of Cricket Schedule 2015/2016 - All International Events.]

If you carefully listen to the audio and compare it to other genuine unaltered videos, the chants are “Jeetay ga… Pakistan jeetay ga” (Will win… Pakistan will win) additionally the siren like sound is a classic noise from an air horn used by cricket spectators / fans from Pakistan and sometimes from India.

CONCLUSION

The source of this video which has been intentionally tagged with fake description and optimized for Google’s search engine comes from a YouTube channel called “new to Islam” with the following URL: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9LrjZDubbjdKW5Td5WPNug

The ten months old video poster claims that Pakistan youth based in UK Tooting  / Luton are celebrating Paris attacks on Charlie Hebdo from January 7 2015. It is not claiming celebrations of the recent Paris Atacks although the video has started showing up again in the search results as the search terms being used are same as the ones used for January 2015 Paris Attacks.

This channel is openly anti-Islam and anti-Pakistan and posts “stuff” which would hurt the targets directly by damaging their global reputation and / or hurt the feeling of the targeted community. In short it’s a “hate channel” hosted on YouTube and as Google owns YouTube this video and other content from this channel is accessible on the web.
