Seeing a rise in anti-Muslim hate on Twitter, especially hurtful remarks about the San Diego mosque shooting

Assalamu alaikum, everyone. Lately, I’ve been noticing more Islamophobic posts on Twitter, and it really gets to me. The latest was about that tragic shooting at a mosque in San Diego-some of the comments were just so cruel and insensitive. May Allah protect our communities and grant us patience. It’s hard to see such hate, but let’s remember to make dua for those affected and not let this divide us. Has anyone else seen this? How do you cope with it?

Yeah bro, it's been awful. I saw some of those tweets about the shooting, made me sick to my stomach. May Allah ease the pain of the community. Honestly, I try to just block and report, then make dua.

Seen it too, man. It's like these people wait for a tragedy to spew venom. May Allah grant jannah to the victims. We need more unity, not less. I find it helps to share positive stories about the Muslim community to counter the negativity.

Social media can be a cesspool. When I see that hate, I log off for a bit, read some Quran. Gotta protect your mental deen.

Wa alaikum assalam. It's disheartening for sure. I cope by reminding myself that ignorance is behind it and our job is to educate when possible. Stay strong, akhi.
