deathtocapslockJK Rowling responded to Rupert Murdoch's tweet (""Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.") with:
"The Spanish Inquisition was my fault, as is all Christian fundamentalist violence. Oh, and Jim Bakker."
"I was born Christian. If that makes Rupert Murdoch my responsibility, I'll auto-excommunicate."
In follow-up tweets, Rowling went on to share a recent study that suggested eight times as many Muslims as non-Muslims have died in terrorist attacks, and also lauded “the courage and compassionate actions” of the the Muslim employee of the kosher supermarket that was targeted during the second siege in Paris, who hid Jewish customers from the attacker, saying his deeds “remind us of what ‘humanity’ ought to mean.”
