"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 writes.
As Zuckerberg correctly notes, the recent Paris terror attacks and the San Bernardino shooting has resulted in a big backlash, culminating in presidential candidate Donald Trump calling this week for a blanket ban on Muslims in the US.
But Zuckerberg says that he wants no part in it, and will support Muslims on the social network and beyond.
"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," Zuckerberg writes.
