  • In May 2017, dubious web sites published articles appearing to report that a series of leaked pictures showed various Muslim symbols in Obama's White House residence: The article included three photographs: One purportedly showing a sink used for wudu (a way for Muslim worshipers to perform ablutions or wash themselves before prayer, misspelled in the hoax articles as wada) in a guest bathroom, another purportedly showing a Muslim prayer above Malia Obama's bed, and one last image supposedly showing a secret prayer room: None of these photographs were leaked, nor were any of them even taken in the White House. TheLastLineOfDefense.org, from which this article originated, is a well-known purveyor of fake news that has a long history of spreading misinformation. The web site carries a disclaimer: Although TheLastLineOf Defense.com does carry a disclaimer labeling its content as fiction, many encountered this series of misleading photographs on other web sites that do not. For example, this particular story was amplified and repeated on USA Politics Now, Daily USA Update, and Open Magazines. It remains false. (en)
