Recently, a video has been spreading online displaying a classroom full of children chanting "Allahu Akbar" while the students are supposedly led by a teacher. Many online posts claimed that this happened in a Western school, and the clip is being used as "evidence" of forced religious practices. Since this topic is very controversial and the video looks very realistic, the video quickly went viral. 

However, many credible news outlets and fact-checking reports, such as Reuters, have come out and shown that this video did not come from any real school. Reporters have noted that there were no school names, classroom identifiers, or official statements that confirm that this happened. Several red flags were raised by numerous experts cited in these articles, indicating the use of AI.

The claim that this video depicts an actual classroom event is untrue because credible reports found no proof of any actual incident, and video analysts found obvious signs of manipulation.
