Celebrities & Twitter users take to social media to support Muslim community

Twelve hours after the Lindt Cafe hostage crisis in Sydney
began to unfold, Australians have flooded social media with sentiments of solidarity and support of Muslims in the community.

Twitter user Sir Tessa began what has become a worldwide phenomenon, offering to sit next to members of the Islamic faith on transport if they were frightened to be seen in public wearing religious clothing.

The 'I'll ride with you' hashtag has garnered over 112,000 mentions across social media, with people all over the world jumping on board the movement in an effort to turn the terrifying events of Monday into something positive.

After Sir Tessa noticed a disturbing trend of anti-Muslim sentiments, he wrote to those on his regular bus 'wear religious attire, & don’t feel safe alone: I’ll ride with you'.

The hashtag was soon picked up by his followers, gaining support from fellow Australians who offered lifts to work, promises of protection, and friendship to anyone feeling threatened.

With many areas of Sydney still in lockdown and Australians expressing their fears of follow-up attacks in the coming days, the movement blossomed into a forum for showing compassion and tolerance for all faiths.

'The compassion of everyday Australian's should NEVER b underestimated..#illridewithyou is the perfect example of why this is a great nation!' said one Twitter user.

Liberals are always eagerly awaiting the arrival of the anti-muslim backlash, so they can tweet bravely against it. It never arrives, but the anti-western-freedom campaign continues beheading and kidnapping and blowing up people every single day.

Did any of these brave souls offer themselves to be exchanged for the hostages in that café?

Maybe the Muzzies will do us a favor & slice their heads off first.

I can’t imagine why this man wasn’t already ejected from Australia. And I don’t understand why WE don’t eject criminal aliens.

The world has gone insane.

The Austrailan left comforts the Muslim population.

Just another day in Obamaland.

...so they can tweet bravely against it. It never arrives... And, confront libs with that undeniable fact and they'll readily take credit for having prevented that backlash. Note these foggy-headed little idealists don't volunteer to "ride with" Christians in places like Mosul, Karbani or anywhere else muslims are busily "being misunderstood."

Proving once again that when a people become too civilized to do what is necessary to survive in an uncivilized world, they won’t survive, nor do they deserve to survive.
