Author J.K. Rowling took to Twitter on Sunday to slam Rupert Murdoch for saying all Muslims "must be held responsible" for extremist violence such as last week's deadly attack on the headquarters of satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo.

Murdoch:

Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.

Rowling:

I was born Christian. If that makes Rupert Murdoch my responsibility, I'll auto-excommunicate.

1. Excellent.

Really like her. ........ Murdoch is a pox on humanity.

[suffragette]

2. Rowling is full of awesome!

[Thespian2]

3. K & R

If a group is held responsible for its most evil members, then what should be done about the US Congress and the US Supreme Court? Who should be responsible for the EVIL persons inhabiting these untrustworthy institutions?

8. 10000 ++++^^^^^

Excellent analogy

[fasttense]

4. That Murdoch foreigner is always a hoot

Some of his most supportive business partners are Muslim. So, he should be blamed too for doing business with Muslims?

Hypocrite thy name is Murdoch.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

21. why, yes. yes indeed, he's feeding the very menace he's sounding the alarm on.

Feeding, with vaults and vaults of gold.

[loudsue]

29. The right wingers absolutely REFUSE to acknowledge the Fox News/Saudi royalty connection

Most especially when the royals' involvement in 9/11 is mentioned.

The right wing takes stupid to a whole new level.

[Wheezy]

16. J.K. Rowling head thumps another stupid oligarch. Love it.

[Peacetrain]

17. There is some mighty broad brushes sweeping against all religions

in DU... that being said.. very well done JK Rowling.. Maybe just maybe.. (I doubt it) but maybe it will get R. Murdoch to thinking about trying to blame everything on a specific group.. that all hates and sins done by those who abuse a specific religion are spread over everyone who adheres to that religion.. sad way to live, but so many seem to need the easy target..

[grahamhgreen]

18. Rowling is proof that socialism works.

[justiceischeap]

19. Can we hold all Christians responsible for the Spanish Inquisition and The Crusades?

And any other Holy War that has caused death in the name of Christianity?

[dflprincess]

23. For the Inquistion? Just the Catholics

and they need to take responsibility for the IRA as well (I say this as someone raised Irish Catholic).

20. She is not the only one. Aziz Ansari, too.
