The media mogul raised ire on Saturday with the tweet, adding his voice to the global discussion on terrorism that has dominated social media since the Charlie Hebdo shooting attack earlier this week.

Murdoch's tweet:
Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.
I really liked Adam Hills responses:
?@adamhillscomedy Oh good, Rupert Murdoch has waded into the Charlie Hebdo debate. I was wondering what an outdated, bigoted, sociopath might make of it all.

Isn't there a hospital where he and Pat Roberson can receive care for their dementia? They may end up hurting someone.

(35,961 posts)Muslim is a person who is a member of the religion called Islam
Just like Jew is a person who is a member of the religion called Judaism
Just like Christian is a person who is a member of the religion called Christianity.
You and Rupert appear to be very, very confused on the difference between criticising a religion and scapegoating most if not all members of that religion.

(14,130 posts)Why does he single out just one religion? Oh, yeah, because he's a bigoted asswipe.
