Australians Just Showed the World Exactly How to Respond to Terrorism With #IllRideWithYou:

In the aftermath of the hostage crisis in downtown Sydney, Australians are showing the world they're not caving to racism or Islamophobia.

On Monday, an armed gunman stormed a cafe in Martin Place, entering a tense standoff with police. After the hostage-taker displayed an Islamic flag in the cafe's window, many of Australia's Muslims are understandably anxious about facing retribution.

But instead, Australians have banded together on Twitter with #IllRideWithYou, a hashtag showing their solidarity with fellow countrymen scared of being attacked on public transportation.

The hashtag started simply, with an act of compassion. Tessa Kum, a writer living in Sydney, told Guardian Australia she acted after seeing a tweet from TV reporter Michael James:

Actually Europeans are more tolerant compared to Americans and Islamaphobes "especially in America" use scare mongering to make more money.

They are still debating if it's a terrorist act or not (LOL).

No one knows what his motives were, or why he did it. In fact, he was initially targeting another building. But since it had good security, he targeted some place with a funny name packed with morning coffee goers.

If you ask me, he was mentally ill. A man living in a delusional world.
