Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg vowed Wednesday to create a “peaceful and safe environment” for Muslim users on the social media website.
Zuckerberg wrote in a post on Facebook that, “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.”
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump had called Monday for a “a total and complete shutdown” on Muslims entering the United States.
Zuckerberg vowed to create a safe environment for those users who belonged to the Muslim community.
“If you’re a Muslim in this community, as the leader of Facebook I want you to know that you are always welcome here and that we will fight to protect your rights and create a peaceful and safe environment for you,” he wrote.
Zuckerberg made headlines recently after he announced that he, and his wife Priscilla Chan, would donate $45 billion worth of Facebook shares following the birth of their daughter.

Oh, that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Mark Zuckerberg really cares.
Mark is unaware that his creation has become a safe haven for bigots, racists, homophobes, misogynists and misanthropes. A Muslim user would be better off ignoring his offer unless of course Mark will be censoring those vile comments that are posted daily.
You bigots are in trouble now. Zuckman’s on the case!
I supsect he is making these comments because he is entirely aware of this fact.
Point of information. He has pledged to donate $45 billion worth of facebook shares to a for profit LLC which he and his family wholly own, not to some 501(3)©. More on the “family LLC” estate planning dodge…
