Video shows Islamic prayer call in Lancaster House, not Buckingham Palace

A video is being shared on social media with false claims it shows the Islamic call to prayer being performed at Buckingham Palace. But it was actually filmed at Lancaster House, which is a government building, and is more than a year old. 

In the footage, a man standing at a podium is performing the call to prayer, known as the Adhan, in a grand building and a crowd is gathered to watch. 

It has been shared on social media with captions including “We’re watching the complete collapse of a once great empire. The Islamic call to prayer inside of Buckingham Palace is just the latest example of its defeat”, and “Muslim call to prayer inside Buckingham Palace? WTH”.

Video shows Iraqi MP describing actions of Islamic State, not Hamas

A video circulating on social media falsely claims to show an Israeli woman who has escaped “Hamas militants”.
