On 6 April 2016, the Facebook page Worldwide Infidels United published the above-reproduced meme, along with the following text: The text included a photograph of the actor Ian Hart, who portrayed Professor Quirinus Quirrell in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone: The meme achieved tens of thousands of shares; a large number of those sharing were in on the joke, but not all of them. Some were outraged: Others were offended for different reasons: Putting aside any individual reader or commenter's interpretation, World Infidels United was not an anti-Muslim page, nor was its content meant to be taken literally. Additional content on the page clarified its satirical nature: The meme's maker was mocking British people who shared similar (but serious) anti-Muslim memes on Facebook, and wasn't literally claiming that Professor Quirrell set a woman on fire for eating a bacon sandwich.
