J.K. Rowling Feuds With Rupert Murdoch After 'Jihadist Cancer' Tweet
CNN ^ | January 11, 2015 | Emanuella Grinberg

(CNN)Media mogul Rupert Murdoch is drawing widespread criticism for saying Muslims must be held responsible for last week's terror attacks in France.

But one of his more famous detractors is getting just as much attention for challenging his logic.

The News Corp. CEO ignited controversy on Friday with a series of tweets about Islam and jihad. He started with the tweet, "Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible."

Author J.K. Rowling took notice and decided to apply his logic to Christianity.

"I was born Christian. If that makes Rupert Murdoch my responsibility, I'll auto-excommunicate," she said on Twitter.

"..born Christian." Hmmmmm

I believe it is a tenet of Islam that all are "born Moslem" and remain so unless the "apostatize."

Wondering why the left loves the jihadis so much, and hates Christians.

“Born Christian” proves she doesn’t know anything about Christian doctrine. You won’t get to heaven on your parents’ faith.

“Born Christian”

Ah, er, Ms. Rowling; NObody is BORN Christian from their mother’s womb; but only through the New Birth of Conversion via a personal decision.

One only becomes a Christian by intentionally and by one’s own volition, realizing and confessing their sinfulness and need of a Savior, and then calling out in prayer and inviting The Lord Jesus Christ into their heart and life.

Because they hate America.

America was founded on Christian principles (no matter what the colleges say).

Therefore Christianity is as bad as America.

The Left loves the fatalistic aspect of Islam. Everything is "the will of Allah". Similarly, the Left holds that everything is caused by environmental factors (growing up in a racist/sexist environment, poverty, whatever).

Leftists cannot tolerate the idea that a person's failures are due to the person's own innate flaws and character defects.

Rowling is just another liberal "kapo" doing the work of the jihadists.

Does she think the jihadists will permit "Harry Potter" books? What an idiot.

KJ Rowling is an idiot.

As are leftists.

Islam is a blight upon every free society on the planet.

NO ONE is "born" Christian

John 1:13

Which were borne, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

Ms. Rowling, around 2,000 Nigerians were killed by the Islamic Boko Haram militant movement just in the past week in northern Nigeria. In that case, Mr. Murdoch is completely correct in his assessments.

Let’s see... Spanish Inquisition, still around today? Nope. Muslim fanatics? Yep, still going strong. Spain, modern culture? Yep. Muslim countries? Stone age. I wonder what part of cancer did “Jo” not get?

I’m guessing she switched sides since she writes books about veiled Satanism and Majik and made millions writing about a child sorcerer named Harry Potter.

Moral equivalence. A founder of a non Liberal or balanced news organization is just as bad or worse than murderous terrorists. Moral equivalence is logic all of a sudden? It may be true that Chairman Mao murdered 60 million people, but America doesn’t allow Americans to pee in the streets so we shouldn’t talk /sarc

-—Spanish Inquisition, still around today? Nope.-—

It was part of a centuries-long effort to drive the Mohammedans out of Spain. The king was afraid of Mohammedan-sympathizing Jews falsely converting to Christianity.
