Facebook will ‘fight to protect’ Muslim rights – Zuckerberg

After a controversial week in American politics, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO and cofounder of Facebook, has shared his support for Muslims around the world.

In a short Facebook post on Wednesday, Zuckerberg pledged his support for Muslims, informing the Facebook community that the social network is “a peaceful and safe environment.”

Though he didn’t name names, Zuckerberg is likely referring to statements delivered by US presidential candidate Donald Trump, who this week called for a total ban on Muslims entering the U.S.

In the post, Zuckerberg used his own faith and
upbringing to share his ideals on how attacks on
freedoms affect everyone.

“As a Jew, my parents taught me that we must stand up against attacks on all communities,” Zuckerberg wrote.

“Even if an attack isn’t against you today, in time attacks on freedom for anyone will hurt everyone.”
