Check out some of the reactions on social media:

this is the person who’s hadith is being played as an entertaining song in Rihanna’s show. this is who we’re defending. this is who we look up to when we’re trying to learn kindness and equality. don’t ever invalidate us being upset over the man who taught us humanity. pic.twitter.com/IR0g71C3lp
