How a Canadian Sikh was photoshopped to look like a Paris attacker

On Saturday, Veerender Jubbal woke up to a social media nightmare. The Canadian Sikh discovered that a photoshopped version of his bathroom mirror selfie was circulating on social media as a photograph of one of the Paris attackers wearing a suicide bomb vest and holding a Quran.

Jubbal soon took to Twitter to clarify the misunderstanding.

People are editing, and photoshopping my selfies as if I am one of the people causing the issues/problems in Paris.

Any support/nice messages are welcome.
