Claim: Muslim refugees in Switzerland burned the Swiss flag in a protest to remove cross symbol on the Swiss flag.
Fact-check: 2006 photo of Pakistani Muslims burning the Denmark flag is shared as Muslim refugees in Switzerland burning the Swiss flag - FACTLY
Verdict: photo in the post shows pakistani muslims burning the denmark flag during a demonstration in karachi on '23 february 2006'. massive protests swept across several islam countries in early 2006 following the twelve cartoons published in a danish newspaper depicting prophet mohammed. hence the claim made in the post is false.
