British Muslim activist, Asghar Bukhari, claims MOSSAD stole his shoe.

Since Saturday 13 June 2015 social media has been abuzz with news that British Muslim campaigner Asghar Bukhari claimed on Facebook that Zionist agents had entered his home and stolen his one shoe, leaving the other behind.
Since then Mr. Bukhari has been much mocked, although he's sticking to his story, claiming the same had happened to other pro-Palestinian activists:

A British Muslim campaigner faced online ridicule after he claimed 'Zionists' had sneaked into his home and stolen a single shoe. In a public Facebook post, Asghar Bukhari, a founding member of the Muslim Public Affairs Committee UK, said someone had tried to intimidate him by taking his footwear as he slept. He wrote: the 'game was simple - to make me feel vulnerable in my own home', before adding 'it is not the first time I have heard this happening'. He ended by urging readers to share the message. Within hours, the rant had prompted dozens of mocking tweets, with the hashtags #MossadStoleMyShoe and #ShoeishConspiracy trending on Twitter, with one user telling him to 'put a sock in it'. In response, he issued a bizarre, 15-minute YouTube rant in which he said, 'they're stealing people's homes in Palestine. You think a shoe is a big deal for them?'

Is this a case of paranoia, mixed with some grandiosity, or could it point to gang-stalking by agents of some kind?
While I'm not very familiar with Mr Bukhari, I saw him once on a talk-show following the Charlie Hebdo murders in January, and I felt what he had to say was inappropriate for the temperament of the time, and he threatened to inflame Islamophobia further.
I didn't think him very moderate.

Nevertheless, secret service agents have used gang-stalking techniques in the past.
The East German Stassi used to sneak into people's homes to rearrange their paintings, and even replace their tea, in order to make them question their sanity.
However, they had a massive army of about 80 000 agents and civilian informers, often people's own spouses and family.

I can't say more either way, but what does ATS think?

Do you think Mossad also has all of my missing socks that I used to blame on the dryer?

They planned to steal his underwear but .......

Some people like to sniff other peoples shoes...

Who knows?
Maybe there's a one-legged Mossad agent somewhere in Britain?

Why steal one shoe?

To drive a person crazy! How does one lose one shoe! I believe him. That's what gang stalkers do.

DOWN WITH ISRAEL!!!!!

On topic.. What a great idea to discredit someone. Make them look like an idiot online by stealing one of their shoes lol.

Mossad stole my Oyster card. Had to buy another one.

Why would a Muslim have his shoes in the house?

*raises eyebrow*

The sad thing behind all this is that he really believes Mossad is interested in him.

Note Asghar Bukhari has been accused of anti-Semitism. He seems to see Zionists everywhere, so should fit in well on ATS.

I think he needs to quit throwing his shoes at people, even though it seems to be the Muslim thing to do.

No that is your fellow mason buddies for giving away y'alls super secret plans to take over the world.

As the plot thickens, I wonder whether Mr. Bukhari could be a disinfo agent?
How better to discredit a movement that having a somewhat eccentric and erratic spokesman?
Probably also unlikely, but in the Cinderella-like world of smoke and mirror techniques anything is possible.

Some more images and snippets on the story.

All Muslims are different, but we keep our shoes by the door. In a culture where stealing is common, we keep them inside by the front door.

This has actually been a common tactic for centuries. The Hashashin (where the word "assassin" comes from) used something similar to warn the leaders of potential enemies & leaders of groups they had deals with. They would sneak into the leaders home & leave a note or specific type of dagger beside their head as they slept. The point was to remind the leader that no one could protect them if things didn't work out.

You even gave examples of other groups doing the same in your OP. So yeah, it's certainly possible.

Imagine how embarrassing it would be if, for example, Mr. Bukhari's wife or kids suddenly admitted they'd taken the shoe to be mended or retouched as a surprise, or they needed a sample to buy a new pair.

However, in the spirit of ATS and leaning on the side of conspiracy, I think it would be a disgrace of agents to take a shoe, and leave nothing in return.
At least leave another shoe, or pair of shoes.
Surely one can make people question their sanity without being cheap and robbing them.
I mean even the communist Stasi simply rearranged pictures or the types of tea.
Theft is so anti-socialist, implying social inequality where none should exist.

I recall a few years back the vegetarian society attended a cooking class at our local Hare Krishna temple.
Security wasn't so important back then, and the gates stood open until early evening.
When the society came back out to put their shoes back on, one person's expensive shoes were gone, and in their place stood a decaying pair of homeless shoes.
I mean, at least that was an attempt at a trade, and not even letting a more well-off person get home shoe-less.
