(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.

Being ‘born a Christian’ doesn’t necessarily make one so. Even so, Rowlings criticism is infantile.
Typical liberal.
What a stupid thing to say. First of all, no baby is “born Christian,” and second of all, if she would abandon her faith simply not to be associated with someone whose views she disagrees with, then she doesn’t hold that faith at all.
people who make a billion dollars selling their products should not piss off the segment of the population that has money
Rowling should have kept her mouth shut- it was petty and ignorant
No-one expected that.
“J.K. Rowling calls for the return of the Inquisition. Wants Christians of today to behave like they and Muslims did over 500 years ago. And though no longer a Christian herself, threatens to become even more of a non-Christian unless something.”
Well ...
'Bye!
LOL!
She waited until after she’d made her millions before announcing Dumbledore was gay.
I wonder why Jews aren't more accepting of the one country that has sheltered them and provided freedom of religion. Granted, the current administration has not been kind to Judaism, but it hasn't been kind to Christians either.
Idiot. Rupert Murdoch is Jewish.
So,
Be my guest.
“”I was born Christian. If that makes Rupert Murdoch my responsibility, I’ll auto-excommunicate,” she said on Twitter.”
Her theological understanding is wrong about being born Christian.
Nonetheless it is not a bad point.
Why should the Muslims have to excise the cancer?
It is our responsibility.
Interestingly, I just heard old Tom Brokaw on his little minute radio piece say the exact same thing as Murdoch. That the Muslims need to excise this cancer. He used the term cancer, just like Murdoch.
She outta hang out in the muslim only areas in London and see how she likes it.
Liberals would rather be enslaved by Muslims than allow Christianity to continue.
That is how much they hate us.
" Asked if there is any truth to recent press describing his newfound piety, Murdoch replies: "No. They say I'm a born again Christian and a Catholic convert and so on. I'm certainly a practicing Christian, I go to church quite a bit but not every Sunday and I tend to go to Catholic church -- because my wife is Catholic, I have not formally converted...But no, I'm not intensely religious as I'm sometimes described." Interviewed in 1992. Nicholas Coleridge, Paper Tigers (1993), p. 487.
That was when he was married to a Catholic. He's long since divorced her and remarried; don't know whether he divorced his religious pretensions as well.
What a lot of people don't seem to catch, is that Christians, whatever their personal faults and failings, in fact no matter what their grave sins and crimes, are taught to strive to be imitators of Christ Who was good; whereas Muslims of whatever personal character are taught to strive to be imitators of Muhammad who was evil.
The very ideals are polar opposites.
Thus increased religious fervor will purify Christians' moral character; whereas increased religious fervor will corrupt Muslims with a greater propensity to murder, vengeance, lust, and moral violation.
So this is not just about "individuals." This is about the central orientation of lives, faith groups, cultures and civilizatins.
Well then I stand corrected. All that I had ever read is that he was Jewish.
“KJ Rowling is an idiot.”
Really?
Who is this, “KJ” Rowling by the way?
Some European with more money than brains.
