(photos) woman donates $1 for every 'hate tweet' she gets and has hit $1000.

 A Muslim woman is turning the hostility of Internet trolls into a "force for good" -- one hate-filled tweet at a time.

Dr. Susan Carland, an Australian academic and well-known figure in the country’s Muslim community, said she’s become all too accustomed to the "stream of toxicity" that deluges her Twitter feed on a daily basis. As "an unapologetic Muslim woman, you get a lot of hate," she explained.

"I regularly get tweets and Facebook messages from the brave freedom-fighters behind determinedly anonymous accounts telling me that, as a Muslim woman, I love oppression, murder, war and sexism," Carland wrote in an op-ed for the Sydney Morning Herald on Friday. "Their online abuse ranges from requests to leave Australia, hope for my death, insults about my appearance (with a special focus on my hijab), accusations that I am a stealth jihadist, and that I am planning to take over the nation, one halal meat pie at a time."

Carland tried myriad ways to deal with these trolls. She attempted to engage with them, block them or simply ignore them. But as a believer of Islam, these methods just haven’t felt right, she said.
