New York, Dec 10 (IBNS): Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg on Thursday said people from the Muslim community that they are ' always welcome' on the social networking site and he will fight to protect their rights.

"If you're a Muslim in this community, as the leader of Facebook I want you to know that you are always welcome here and that we will fight to protect your rights and create a peaceful and safe environment for you," Zuckerberg  wrote on Facebook.

Referring to the recent Paris attacks, the Facebook CEO said, "After the Paris attacks and hate this week, I can only imagine the fear Muslims feel that they will be persecuted for the actions of others.As a Jew, my parents taught me that we must stand up against attacks on all communities. Even if an attack isn't against you today, in time attacks on freedom for anyone will hurt everyone."

He said people should stand together to to make the world a better place.

"Having a child has given us so much hope, but the hate of some can make it easy to succumb to cynicism. We must not lose hope. As long as we stand together and see the good in each other, we can build a better world for all people," Zuckerberg said.
