Leftists took to Twitter Monday night to tweet about their fears of Islamophobia following the terrorist attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England.
While law enforcement has yet to identify the perpetrator of the attack, ISIS-related accounts have celebrated the bombing on social media. Leftists across Twitter focused on the possible spread of “Islamophobia” following the attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, which killed 19 people and injured at least 50 others.

Islamophobia is strong tonight on twitter. We have to keep in mind that Muslim friends & fam will be dealing with extra hate because of this

Some immediately jumped to blaming President Donald Trump:
After 9/11 the US military terrorized the Middle East. Manchester may give Trump an excuse to do similar mayhem. Why is that hard to see?

While some warned people away from blaming Islam for fear of angering more Muslims:
I have a good idea. Let's piss off more Muslims with mindless Islamophobia. That should help.
