Muslims in the UK got #IThinkIslamHatesUs trending as a response to Trump’s hateful comments that said Islam “hates” America.

MPACUK also participated in the Twitter Storm, organised by the Muslim Vibe.

By trending a topic we can ensure that more people who would otherwise be unaware about Trump’s hateful rhetoric, and how Muslims feel about it, are made aware.

By trending so high up it means that it is more likely that more people on Twitter came across the hashtag and the message we were trying to get across about how we must stand to the hate Muslims are facing.

MPACUK would like to thank the Muslim Vibe in organising this and others who actively participated in ensuring that #IThinkIslamHatesUs was trending in the UK, although the only downside to this success has been that more Muslim organisations on Twitter were not as active about this as we would’ve hoped.

Insha’allah more Muslim organisations, especially our mosques, will mobilise to counter Islamophobia. It is our religious duty to do so.
