Muslims using social media to separate themselves from takfiri groups (World)

Muslims of the world are separating themselves from extremist groups such as ISIS by using social media with #NotInMyName. The violent actions of ISIS have drawn the eyes of the world to Islam, and sadly many outsiders looking in do not understand what real Islam stands for. . The social media hashtag #NotInMyName has since been created to give Muslims a voice against ISIS.

Since the #NotInMyName hashtag was created, it has been tweeted almost thousands of times, and reached millions. The aim of the campaign is to show that Islam is a religion, not of madness, violence, or terror – but instead of love, tolerance, and equality.
