[Text of tweet: Since several news networks emphasize that the mosques at the Christchurch shooting were #PeacefulMosques, as if most aren't: Hey muslims, tell me something painfully mundane and common at your mosque, whether you visit it five times a day or one time a year. Non-muslims, RT.]
What: This twitter thread does what it says it will -- highlights the mundane and ordinary at mosques, to counteract media coverage of mosques as places of conflict.
Representative responses:
"at my local mosque, the third floor has been abandoned and completely taken over by pigeons"
"The water cooler next to the sadaqah box leaks often and I hate having wet socks, so I have to dance around the wet spots to drop the donation."
"The battle of the thermostat in the ladies' prayer room. We compromised and the menopausal women now have a fan blasting in front of them."
