#MyMosque Shows Packed Places of Worship: Daily Dot

Social media messages from around the world express support for the victims of a terrorist attack at two Christchurch mosques and defiance against white supremacy. “Photos of packed mosques filled social media, accompanied by the hashtag #MyMosque just hours after terrorists went on a shooting spree at two mosques in Christchurch, killing 49 people,” reports Elizabeth VanMetre for the Daily Dot. An advocacy group suggested the hashtag with members sending photos, calling “the move a ‘small action’ that would show that the Muslim community ‘won’t be deterred or intimidated.’” Social media responded with photographs of historic and modern structures, proud and contemplative believers, police and non-Muslims who stood guard, and poignant messages of peace, gratitude, hope and love. – YaleGlobal
