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:

The GOP nominee reacted to a questioner who said she's Muslim by saying Muslims have to "come in and report when they see something going on." Muslims on The Internet responded with comedy.
