Muslims around the world have been reporting hundreds of, erm, "crimes" to Donald Trump on Twitter.

It's because of something the man trying to become the next US President said in last night's debate with his rival Hillary Clinton.

He claimed, to stop terrorism, "Muslims have to report the problems when they see them".

Some argue this implies ordinary followers of Islam know things they're not sharing with the government.

And it didn't go down too well online.

Nader pointed out that Muslims are "just as clueless as everyone else" when it comes to terrorism.

He tweeted: "I'd like to report that we don't know more about terrorism because we're Muslim, and just as clueless as everyone else #MuslimsReportStuff", external

Others took Trump at his word and decided to let him on some of Islam's secrets.

Daliah VK promised to "observe for more suspicious behaviour" after her cat meowed in "the direction of Mecca"., external

Reza Aslan said "You don't want to know what we actually put in hummus. #MuslimsReportStuff"., external

There were startling culinary confessions too.

According to Hend Amry "Falafel means 'kill all the infidels.'", external

Asad clearly took the usual advice of reporting something, even if it doesn't feel important at the time.

Asad Uncle added "Pretty sure the guy next to me during Maghrib farted in the middle of prayer but kept going...keep an eye out for him #MuslimsReportStuff"., external

Sabina interpreted Trump's comments entirely literally.

"The weather in Half Moon Bay is lovely. Some fogs but the temperatures are moderate. #muslimsreportstuff #debate", she tweeted., external

A few people took the opportunity to get a confession of their chest.

Ida tweeted "I too despise Nickleback. #MuslimsReportStuff"., external

Sana M admitted "I did laundry this morning but still haven't put it away #MuslimsReportStuff"., external

Areefe even took a huge risk, and weighed in on one the biggest debates of our time.

"I think it was okay because they were on a break, there I said it #MuslimsReportStuff," he tweeted., external

Other people grassed up someone they knew.

Mujewa Muhammed reported a friend "who keeps on tagging me in harambe memes even when i have pleaded with to stop.", external

Persian Rose said "My dad is taking a nap, I'll keep on watching him as Trump ordered"., external

Trump himself was the subject of a few tweets too.
