Misleading

Real video, twisted story

The Instagram Reel misleads viewers by placing the title and caption for the Daily Wire film 'Run Hide Fight: Infidels' over an unrelated interview clip. While 'Run Hide Fight: Infidels' is a real 2026 movie starring Jonathan Majors, the video shown is actually an edited clip of Emirati commentators Rauda Altenaiji and Ahmed Sharif Al Ameri speaking in an interview in Britain.

The trick: Old video, new story

It passes off real footage from another time or place as this event (known as recycled footage).

“Run Hide Fight: Infidels is an action thriller film written & directed by Kyle Rankin, scheduled for release on September 16, 2026.”

The video shows a real-world interview with Emirati influencers, not a scene from the feature film described in the caption.

The Muslim Brotherhood is conducting an invasion of the West to establish a caliphate system in the UK and Western nations.No reliable source found for this yet.

How it plays you

It wants you to think: “Muslims are covertly invading and subverting Western societies to force an Islamic take-over.”

The commentary reflects specific political opinions on the Muslim Brotherhood, not a verified military or covert invasion, and statements by individual commentators do not apply to all Muslims.
