Right Pepsi?
Nope! These videos were actually produced and aired by Channel 4 in the U.K. They're legitimate videos from 10 years ago which caused police investigations of both the mosques in question and the videos themselves (to ensure they were not designed to fuel hate and bigotry and met certain journalistic standards). While there was some controversy at they time over the editing, ultimately they were found to be legitimate undercover investigations.

Unlike the videos you were posting, which were produced by white nationalists as propaganda meant to inspire racists and bigots to take action against the Muslim community, and taken directly from a white supremacist YouTube channel.

See, investigating the source of the videos you watch on the internet is an important part of fact-checking and holding an educated opinion on the content. When someone posts white nationalist propaganda and tries to pass it off as a legitimate, objective view of the Muslim community, they come off as either a) misguided or b) a white nationalist themselves. When someone continues to defend that content in light of its origins being revealed, then it's easy to tell which of the two categories they fall under.

There is really no excuse for defending white nationalist propaganda unless you're one of them, and in my opinion losers that defend white supremacists and nazis are as bad as the people who sympathise with ISIS.
