Thousands Use #MuslimsAreNotTerrorist To Combat Islamophobia
HUFFPO ^ | Nov. 14, 2015 | Daniel Marans

Champions of religious pluralism around the world used #MuslimsAreNotTerrorist to refute the idea that Friday's attacks in Paris reflect the views of most Muslims or mainstream interpretations of the Islamic faith. The hashtag was trending on Twitter on Saturday, with more than 267,000 mentions.

Many of the tweets are from Muslims, while others are from people in other communities opposed to generalizations about Islam and its practitioners. A similar message from a New York resident that was inspired by his conversation with a Muslim cab driver has gone viral on Twitter.

On Saturday, the Islamic State group took credit for the attacks that have killed at least 129 people, and vowed there would be more of them.

Here are some of the most memorable tweets using #MuslimsAreNotTerrorist:

The problem is... some Muslims are terrorists. Pretending that isn’t true is what lead to this tragedy.

These people are the same people who regularly post in the #BlackLivesMatter and similar topics. They work for Obama as social media “experts” and their job is to “shape public opinion”.

Champions of religious pluralism

Pussies, liars, apologists, and head-in-the-sand denialists.

How about #deathtoislam?

Than all the “good” muzzies need to report what is happening in the mosques and turn in the jihadists. Anyone seen this?

There just has to be someway to banish all of those using that hashtag to Syria..... and let them get some first hand experience before they tweet such stupidity.

What would make it worth believing would be when these moderate or “moderate” Muslims call for a cleanup of the madmen.

Until then, it looks like crocodile tears city.

I went on two mosque FB pages today. Not a word about the attacks. Nada.

They don’t have anywhere to leave their grudges (real or imagined), is most of the reason why.

Allah just tells them get busy and avenge.

When combined with the Frito Lay factory on their shoulder that is a sure fire recipe for Trouble with a capital T.

Every one of those radio and tv breaking news bulletins and reports by MSM used this editorialization when describing those Parisian jihadists; As: To be; quote; young, UNEMPLOYED, men, unquote. The media subjectively reported it this way because in their god denying mind, the rationale for committing such crimes could only be because of a financial situation and not because of a flawed belief system and creed.
