Multiple viral anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim falsehoods originate from 
Gatestone.

In 2011[34] and 2012,[15] Gatestone published articles claiming that 
Europe had Muslim "no-go zones", falsely describing them variously as 
"off-limits to non-Muslims"[15] and "microstates governed by Islamic 
Sharia law".[34][7] The claim that there are areas in European cities 
that are lawless and off limits to local police or governed by Sharia is 
false.[15][34][7][17][20] Gatestone's claims were picked up by many 
outlets, including FrontPageMag,[34] and The Washington Times.[7] The 
idea of no-go zones originated from Daniel Pipes,[34] who later retracted 
his claims.[15]

On November 18, 2016, Gatestone published an article that said the 
British Press had been ordered to avoid reporting the Muslim identity of 
terrorists by the European Union. Snopes rated the claim "false". Snopes 
pointed out that the report only made a recommendation and it was issued 
by the Council of Europe, not the European Union.[16] Gatestone 
subsequently corrected the article and apologized for the error,[35] 
before removing it entirely from its website.

In 2017, Gatestone falsely claimed that 500 churches closed and 423 new 
mosques opened in London since 2001, and argued that London was being 
islamized and turning into "Londonistan".[36][11] According to Snopes, 
Gatestone used "shoddy research and cherry-picked data."[36] 
Specifically, Gatestone only counted churches that closed but not 
churches that opened; data for the period 2005–2012 alone show that 700 
new churches opened in London.[36]

In 2017, Gatestone ran a story about high Muslim fertility rates, 
headlined "Muslims Tell Europe: 'One Day This Will All Be Ours.'" 
However, no Muslim said the quote in question. The quote came from a 
French Catholic bishop who claimed that this was something that Muslims 
had told him.[37] The misleadingly headlined article was widely 
distributed on Facebook, and its claims were repeated by other 
conservative websites.[37]

The Gatestone Institute published false articles during the 2017 German 
federal election.[38] A Gatestone article, shared thousands of times on 
social media, including by senior German far-right politicians, claimed 
that vacant homes were being seized in Germany to provide housing 
solutions for "hundreds of thousands of migrants from Africa, Asia, and 
the Middle East."[14] The German fact-checker Correctiv.org found that 
this was false; a single house was placed in temporary trusteeship, and 
had nothing to do with refugees whatsoever.[14] Gatestone also cross-
posted a Daily Mail article, which, according to BuzzFeed News, "grossly 
mischaracterized crime data" concerning crime by refugees in Germany.[39]
