Around the Nation Muslims Take To Twitter To Report Stuff, Just Like Trump Asked Muslims Take To Twitter To Report Stuff, Just Like Trump Asked Listen · 1:16 1:16

At Sunday night's presidential debate, Donald Trump unwittingly launched a new meme. In the town hall setting, a Muslim woman asked the candidates about Islamophobia.

Trump's response: "We have to be sure that Muslims come in and report when they see something going on."

Many have taken up the challenge on Twitter, and #MuslimsReportStuff quickly went viral. Responses have ranged from sarcastic to serious to funny. One of the first and perhaps most widely shared Tweets came from Brooklyn College professor Moustafa Bayoumi:

I'm a Muslim, and I would like to report a crazy man threatening a woman on a stage in Missouri. #debate — Moustafa Bayoumi (@BayoumiMoustafa) October 10, 2016

There are many others. Some are self-reporting:

I'd like to report that although I told everyone I cleaned my car I actually just put everything in the trunk #MuslimsReportStuff — Jenna (@Chezmoihoney) October 10, 2016
