  • On 9 June 2016, the web site JTXH News published an article reporting that Muslims had assaulted a Denny's waitress in Round Rock, Texas, for serving bacon during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan: There was no truth to this story, however. There is no real radio or television outlet with the call letters JTXH; that identifier is purely the province of a fake news web site masquerading as a legitimate news outlet. JTXH News has previously published fabricated clickbait stories such as Bernie campaign caught distributing LSD to youth and Chick-Fil-A is considering banning anyone who 'can’t figure out their gender.' Unfortunately, the fake news piece generated enough attention that Round Rock police and Denny's had to deal with it, as reported by local press: The fake JTXH report also makes no sense theologically, as Muslims eschew eating pork products at all times, not just during the holy month of Ramadan. Moreover, Muslims are supposed to fast during daylight hours throughout the entire month of Ramadan, so if a few Muslims were trying to impose their standards on everyone (as implied here), they should have been upset at seeing any food being served during the daytime, not just bacon.
