While the mainstream media displays outrage over the string of terrorist attacks that have been plaguing the world since the emergence of the death cult in the Middle East called ISIS, it largely overlooks appearance of impersonators and fabricators of the false jihadist attacks on terrorism theater. For instance, shortly after San Bernardino attacks in California last year, a 45-year-old French teacher claimed to be attacked by a masked ISIS assailant. Within four hours of investigation, he admitted blatantly that the story was his fabrication. As usual and expected the blatant liar stimulated a media hype instantly against radical Islamist terrorism.
The French teacher who had claimed to be attacked by a masked ISIS assailant admitted that the story was his fabrication
It is interesting to note that more than one media outlet that hastened to publish this horrendous crime perpetrated by ISIS did not remove the fabricated story from their websites even after the story proved false. Outlets however, added a one-liner update link, hardly visible to the readers but remained silent over the motivations behind the hate crime. In fact, nobody is saying that this false accusation itself is a hate crime. It is not difficult to imagine how boisterous and noisy they might have behaved otherwise. Nobody bothered to discuss that if this false attack would have been believed, what may be the consequences for the citizens of already terrorized French Capital, for the vulnerable refugees who are fleeing from outcomes of war on terror, on the Western Muslims who have remained in a constant state of trial since 9/11. Finally, how would the pundits forecasting the clash of civilization would have reacted?
This is not the first time that ISIS impersonators, non-Muslim hoaxer or self-wounded victims of terrorism have reported false stories to the police and authorities. Below are some of the hoax stories. All attested by major news outlets and can be confirmed on given links.

It is obvious that this was a well-designed project not the mindless activity of a nerd but the ease with which he was released indicates that there was an influential lobby behind him.
Remarkably, Goldberg admitted all the charges including making a bomb similar to those used in Boston bombing but he was released on the grounds that he is mentally incompetent to stand the trial. It is obvious that this was a well-designed project not the mindless activity of a nerd but the ease with which he was released indicates that there was an influential lobby behind him. It should be particularly noticed that renowned terrorism analyst Rita Katz had been briefing the western parliaments on the basis of information retrieved from Goldberg's online personas.
The fake jihadist personas were also used to besmirch Amnesty International and the Human Rights Law Centre
According to
Sydney morning Herald, "Goldberg also allegedly created a number of fake jihadist accounts, which interacted with the fake Thorne account, and then allegedly sent screengrabs of the interactions to journalists, at least one of whom published a fake interaction in an article of The West Australian in April 2015." Article further reveals,"the fake jihadist personas were also used to besmirch Amnesty International and the Human Rights Law Centre by claiming the fake jihadists had employment ties or donated money to the organizations."

A French woman claimed that she was assaulted on a Paris train later admitted making up anti-semitic story
On 9 July 2004, a young French woman who became known as
Marie L. declared to the police that she was assaulted on a Paris suburban train between the stations of Louvres and Sarcelles with her thirteen-month-old baby by six young men whom she described as Arabs and blacks. She told that assailants allegedly beat her, cut her hair, and ripped her clothes with a knife. They then drew three swastikas on her stomach and knocked over the stroller with her baby. She claimed about 20 passengers on train witnessed the incident. Later when no witness could be traced and surveillance camera reports denied any such activity, she admitted making up the story of the anti-semitic attack.
The revelation that the anti-semitic attack story was fabrication was met with almost total political silence.
According to the journal of Jerusalem Centre for public affairs initially all French public institutions condemned the anti-semitic attack but the revelation that the story was fabricated was met with almost total political silence.
