Rupert Murdoch has again attracted controversy over a string of Tweets sent yesterday in regards to the Paris terrorist attacks.
Implying all Muslims should be held accountable for the actions of an extremist few, Murdoch has been on the receiving end of a number of angry responses in protest.
The retorts range from satirical to pure anger.
Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.

Big jihadist danger looming everywhere from Philippines to Africa to Europe to US. Political correctness makes for denial and hypocrisy.

The backlash was swift.
From targeting his own political agenda to looking more specifically at the issue at hand – Murdoch did not seem to find many in support of his sentiments.
Maybe all Australians lovely but until we recognise and destroy the growing pus sore that is @rupertmurdoch we must be held accountable.

@DianeMLapine doesnt seem that way. Why should the muslims be blamed for acts which are not even acceptable in their religion???
