Media Bias Fact Check (MBFC) publishes daily vetted fact checks from verified IFCN-approved sources. Each claim is independently reviewed for accuracy and context.


Claimant: Social Media


Claim: In September 2026, Muslims in Texas were ordering business owners to stop selling haram products within 30 days.


Rating: MOSTLY FALSE


Explanation: One Houston imam urged Muslim business owners to stop selling products prohibited by Islamic religious law, but Snopes found no evidence of a broader or coordinated campaign by Muslims in Texas. His message was also framed as a request to Muslim business owners, not an order imposed on businesses generally.
