J.K. Rowling Just Schooled Rupert Murdoch For His Ignorant Anti-Muslim Comments
MTV ^ | Jan. 11, 2015 | by Alicia Lutes

Posted on 01/11/2015 11:08:53 PM PST by ConservativeStatement

Even though Harry Potter has graduated Hogwarts and moved onto bigger and brighter things (with decidedly less peril), J.K. Rowling is still creating magic with her words. As evidenced by her stunning takedown of Rupert Murdoch’s ignorant comments about the recent events in Paris.

On Friday, the News Corp chairman had some stunningly misguided words for the Muslim people of the world in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris, calling for the “Moslems” of the world to take the blame. Terrorism, you see, is their problem and they’ll have to either fix it for the rest of the world, or resign themselves to being held accountable for every single bad thing the extremists do. That doesn’t seem very logical, does it?

"That doesn’t seem very logical, does it?"

Useful Idiots, this is very logical if you follow the money trail as well as actually reading the Koran (Spelling intentional) along with most important of all, the various Hadith/Hadis books. The fact that Muhammadans have not cleaned out their own house is another testament of empathy for the ones doing the wet-work.

This hipster slang description of being "schooled" on primarily feelings and not empirical reasoning is pathetic, but then again, this is MTV where rational thought is expunged by a decrepit foundation of "if it feels good do it".

MTV - one of my unspoken criteria for dating used to be “must not watch MTV.” Along with speaks more an one language and some others dealing with education.

I was thinking the same thing, but I believe it is more of a western PA/northern WV type of language usage. When I moved from SC to Pittsburgh I was shocked that almost no one used “to be” in the appropriate manner.

She wove an amazing Nazi allegory into the HP series, yet she cannot see the same thing happening with muslims attempting to do the same thing?

I loved that song and video...but “Telegraph Road” is his masterpiece. The song describes Detroit decaying over time.

The live version on “Alchemy Live” is the absolute best version - incredible solos by MK!

“...keen word-user that she is...”

Guessing the MTV writer knew “wordsmith” would leave MTV readers scratching their low-info heads.

Why did I type “same thing” twice? More coffee or not enough; that is the question.

That’s the way to do it. Get your money for nothing and get your chicks for free.

I thought they just wanted to sell some refrigerators and move some color TVs. (And microwave ovens.)

And custom kitchen deliveries...

A few years ago, after she made her millions, she said Dumbledore was gay. Now this ridiculusness. She will never understand that between the two of them, her head would roll before Murdoch’s.

While we’re at it:”Advice” is becoming “advise” on the internet. I cannot fathom why.

“The Spanish Inquisition was my fault, as is all Christian fundamentalist violence. Oh, and Jim Bakker.”

Rowling, obviously he was referring to the much pointed out refusal of supposed “moderate” Muslims’ refusal to condemn the terrorists. This was recently pointed out by the Egyptian leader, which is something that Obama refuses to do. So Murdoch is in lock step with a born Muslim and you are just a born idiot.

Yes, the song. I cited the promos for the channel back when it did offer music videos.

My kids and I have never seen a Harry Potty movie and won’t. Trash in, trash out.

Patton may have used the quote, but I believe it began with George Bernard Shaw.
