In the election's aftermath, someone left a very kind note on a mosque door

Love trumps hate.

In America, the days surrounding the election have revealed both a lot of hate and a lot of love.

A Redditor shared a note he noticed on the door of his local mosque in Fishers, Indiana, giving some light of kindness on what was a dark day for many. A "concerned neighbor" left the note to remind Muslims there of how much they mean to the community.

The note reads:

I am sure things must be scary for you all right now. I hope the coming weeks and months are peaceful, but no matter what, please know that many of us appreciate what you bring to this community and wish you nothing but love. Thank you.

❤️ A concerned neighbor.

In one of his campaign's most stunning acts of racism, Donald Trump infamously said that as president, he would require Muslims to register in a database.

Some commenters found the note to be problematic or condescending.

While others did not see an issue with it.

Either way, the note is a reminder of those who may naturally feel endangered by Trump's impending leadership, and that love trumps hate.

BONUS: Caught! Donald Trump was peeking at his wife's election ballot
