Claim: A video has been quickly viewed more than one million times on Facebook posts alongside claims 350 people in New Zealand "accepted" Islam after deadly attacks on two mosques there. The posts are misleading: the video is from an unrelated Islamic event in Germany available online since 2007 and they contain no other evidence to show a ceremony of 350 people accepting Islam in New Zealand after the attacks.
Fact-check: No, this video does not show 350 people in New Zealand 'accepted' Islam after the Christchurch mosque shootings
