My latest in PJ Media:
“We are a force for good,” says Nas Daily, the popular Facebook video site that boasts: “With 60 members, we reached 3.2% of the world’s population, 10 billion video impressions, 35 million followers, 100% organic views.” Nas Daily videos tend to be heartwarming and inspiring tales of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, and a video posted Saturday seemed to be more of the same: it profiled a man who adopted eighty children, portraying him as an unalloyed hero. Yet others on Facebook have given background that diverges sharply from Nas Daily’s relentlessly cheerful video, raising questions about what Nas Daily’s – and Facebook’s – intentions really are.
The video sings the praises of a man named Mohamed, the man who adopted all those kids. “If the world had more people like Mohamed,” we’re told, “then no child would be left alone.” In his post publishing the video to Facebook, Nas Daily creator Nuseir Yassin wrote: “His story broke my heart. Mohamed fosters dying children who have been abandoned by their parents…in the hospital. I find it shocking to think that anybody can leave their own child alone like this. But people like Mohamed set a beautiful example for every parent in the world. Trust me, you need to watch this.”
Mohamed’s story was featured last Saturday because it’s Ramadan, the Islamic holy month. Yassin explains at the end of the video: “In collaboration with Facebook, during the month of Ramadan, we are showing you the stories of thirty people in thirty days, and each one of these stories is more amazing than the other.”
Facebook promoting the Muslim holy month when it would never dare even to come close to promoting Jewish, Christian, Hindu, or Buddhist observances is noteworthy enough, but the video raised eyebrows for other reasons as well. Although the comments below it were a crescendo of praise and congratulations for Mohamed, some people on a private Facebook group sounded a discordant note. One woman wrote: “This video is using my daughter’s image (and several of her friends actually), claiming she was adopted by this man in California!!! Help! What do I do!! I am disgusted!!”
Another commented: “This video clearly shows him holding a doll in a pink blanket.” And it’s true. Five seconds into the video, and again at 3:04, we see Mohamed walking along carrying what appears to be an extremely small baby in a pink blanket, with only the hand of the little one showing, thumb pointing downward and looking suspiciously immobile and artificial. Maybe one of Mohamed’s adoptees is an unfortunately doll-like, plastic-looking child, or maybe there is more to this video than meets the eye. The Facebook commenter continued: “In addition there are multiple children shown as his adopted children that ARE NOT HIS ADOPTED CHILDREN. they literally have families, have not been abandoned, and using their images be it photo or video are not okay.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

He appears tp be sticking his nasty beard in the doll’s face. Too tiny to be a human….one that small would be maybe still in an incubator.
Personally, I see a lot wrong with a mozlum getting his filthy hands on children…and so many…even just one. After all, he is named after the fake ‘prophet’ and that creep was a mass-murdering raper of children, lying sack of slug slime, sex-made slave-trading thief, and son of satan the devil.
Imagine if he could have gotten his hands so easily on a hundred little kids. Awful to contemplate. Then or now.
James Lincoln says
somehistory,
I can’t imagine naming a child mohammed.
It’s like sacking a child with a name like Hitler, Stalin, etc.
somehistory says
J.L.
I would name them all with numbers before I’d name a child after someone like those evil people. I could tell you something about the naming of hitler, but I won’t because some idiots might try to use info to which they have not been ,made aware; use in a bad way,
somehistory says
Btw, have you ever read the children’s story “Mrs. McCabe and her 23 sons? She named them all Dave. It’s funny and cute.
James Lincoln says
Yes, somehistory.
“Too Many Daves” by Dr Seuss.
GFF says
Yes, incubator/intensive care unit sounds right, but then the whole story seems a little fantastical so it may be an E.T. waiting for a lift in his bicycle.
mortimer says
That’s actually his bride and his first cousin.
BlackSabbath says
Muhammad and Aisha.
mortimer says
FAKE: It’s apparently a stiff doll. A real baby could not support the weight of its own head like this, holding the head up high. The man’s lowered left hand or left arm doesn’t support the doll’s head as is the usual way.
somehistory says
The woman who saw her child in the video should sue the creep, Nas Daily creator Nuseir Yassin , and fb for using her child’s photo without permission.
Get a good attorney, lady, and sue, sue and sue. fb has the money to fork over, even if the creep and the nuseir yassin have less.

Video Celebrating Heroic Muslim for Ramadan ‘in Collaboration with Facebook’ Accused of Fakery
…………………
There is actually a different story about Mohamed Bzeek in the LA Times, saying that he has fostered 80 children along with his Infidel-sounding wife–who over many years, who had already begun fostering children before they met–not adopted them. (I’m not sure you *could* adopt 80 children in California–it seerms unlikely).
Note that there is no mention of his wife in this piece.
This, about his wife from the LA Times piece:
Years later, through a mutual friend, he met a woman named Dawn, who would become his wife. She had become a foster parent in the early 1980s, before she met Bzeek. Her grandparents had been foster parents, and she was inspired by them, Bzeek said. Before she met Bzeek, she opened her home as an emergency shelter for foster children who needed immediate placement or who were placed in protective custody.
…
So this was not his idea, nor was it inspired by Islam.
He is also claiming that he is raising these children as Muslims.
A piece in the Daly Sabah shows the propagandistic nature of this:
Muslims in the U.S. are seen as “criminals, killer, we are not good and Islam is just the religion of blood and devastation,” he said.
“[But] after my story, I showed them the true Islam. Islam is about love and compassion and sympathy towards other people.”
To the extent that he–and his wife–are caring for disabled foster children, this is a good thing. But it is definitely *not* about Islam. Then, the story is clearly being exagerated and faked–which rather casts doubt on it in general…
Andrew Blackadder says
Why do big fat bearded muslims like this guy, leave the wonderful World of islam and move to the evil racist islamohobic country like the USA, didnt he get the Memo that we are the great Satan and that islam means peace, harmony and love all over the joint.
Something smells to me about this story.
Who sends this guy money, what does he work at, what is his reason for coming to the USA rather than moving to another nice islamic Nation with his skill set?.
Who let him into America is another question I like to ask?.
Giacomo Latta says
“If the world had more people like Mohamed,” we’re told, “then no child would be left alone.”
Which way am I supposed to read that?
somehistory says
Excellent question. The statement Sounds creepy.
gravenimage says
Touche, Giacomo.
Giacomo Latta says
What’s a foster child worth these days? There have been many cases where two adults have made foster-care a lucrative sideline.
gravenimage says
In California, the state pays up to $2,609 per child per month.

These muzslime scum thrive on deceit.
