#RespectforMuslims trends after Charlie Hebdo massacre

The hashtag #RespectforMuslims was the second-most popular on Twitter one day after the Paris shootings. Many used it to distance themselves from the act of two "criminals" who weren't speaking for Islam generally.

One day after France's most violent attack in decades, the hashtag #JeSuisCharlie was where the world turned to express feelings of horror, desperation and hope at the deaths of 10 French journalists and two police officers.

Over the course of the day, however, the hashtag #RespectforMuslims entered the number two slot - a plea that the religion of peace not be associated with the acts of two criminals in France.
