Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook Reassures Muslim Users
- 8 years ago
The millennial innovator who got the world to share sonograms, goofy wedding photos, relationship statuses and innermost thoughts on Facebook is doing a lot of sharing himself these days.
Now Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of the site, has added his voice to one of the most contentious political issues of the moment, with a strong statement on Wednesday night in support of Muslims and Islam.
Granted, his statement also made good business sense for Facebook.
The site has just over one billion daily active users, many of them Muslims.
"I want to add my voice in support of Muslims in our community and around the world," Mr. Zuckerberg wrote in Facebook post on Wednesday night, in which he again invoked his newborn child.
"After the Paris attacks and hate this week, I can only imagine the fear Muslims feel that they will be persecuted for the actions of others.
