We started the #TrueIslam campaign to provide you a resource of accurate, easy to understand, and clear knowledge on Islam. It seems that is even more important today. A thread on the anti-Muslim tweets you've seen this morning /1
One tweet alleges a Muslim immigrant attacking a Dutch boy. In reality it was just two Dutch boys fighting. But to be clear, Islam commands loyalty to country of residence so no Muslim immigrant should ever attack anyone /2
The second video shows a man breaking a statue of Mary Mother of Jesus. He's wrong. In reality the Qur'an reveres the Virgin Mary as the "greatest woman who ever lived." The Qur'an dedicates a whole chapter to Mary /3
A third video shows a man killing a child. This is deeply tragic & media reports the killer was sentenced to death for his crime. Islam teaches that all life is sacred and to kill an innocent is to kill all humanity. /4
We want you to stand united with us, against extremism, against hate, and against ignorance. Sign up as a #MuslimAlly at trueislam.com and learn about Islam from Muslims. But that's just the beginning... /5
We invite you to join us for coffee & cake. Let's break bread together. Click on the events tab at trueislam.com & find a local meet-up with you. Bring your family & friends. Coffee on us! /6
Our country is greater when we stand together. We do not need to let anyone divide us. We may have different faiths, but we are all Americans, and we are all humans. Let's work for peace—together 7/7
