When Veerender Jubbal, a Canadian man of the Sikh religious faith, posted a selfie taken in his bathroom to social media, he did not expect it to be distorted to accuse him of being a terrorist linked to the recent Paris terror attacks.

In the original photo, Jubbal -- who is shown wearing a Dastar, a turban that is important to his religion -- is seen simply holding his iPad up to his mirror.

A different, doctored version of the photo that later circulated around social media this weekend shows Jubbal wearing a suicide vest, with his iPad replaced by a copy of the Koran. A sex toy was also added to the background of the photo.

The photo made the rounds on Twitter when major Spanish newspaper La Razón and television channel Antenas 3 published headlines with the doctored image claiming Jubbal was one of the terrorists responsible for the Paris attacks on Friday.

2. General rule of internets- any bathroom selfie with a photoshopped dildo in the background

Is probably some sort of hoax.
