On Tuesday, at least 34 people were killed in twin attacks in Brussels after bombings in the city's metro station and another in the airport. People quickly took to Twitter to pray for the victims and their families, show support for the city and to voice their opinions on the attack.
A large group of Twitter users understandably attacked ISIS. Some however, by extension, decided to attack Islam as a whole. Shortly after hashtags like #PrayforBelgium and #JeSuisBruxelles began to trend worldwide, #StopIslam also started trending.
The trend seemed to be supported by those who blamed the entire religion of Islam for the attacks, some calling for a fight against the religion.
