UK and US anti-immigrant accounts are sharing a fake claim that Japan is taking steps to ban Islam, mosques, and praying in the streets.
There is zero evidence this is happening.
They're projecting their own far-right fantasies onto Prime Minister Takaichi.
For some reason, most of these accounts are sharing a completely unrelated video of the dissolution of Japan's Lower House.
Laws banning public displays of Islam would be unconstitutional because Article 20 of the Constitution of Japan guarantees freedom of religion.
Prime Minister Takaichi's plans for increasing foreign workers will involve a significant increase in the number of Indonesians coming to Japan, many of whom are Muslim. Japan also welcomes Indonesian tourists and restaurants in tourist areas have started offering Halal menu items.
