CEO of News Corp Rupert Murdoch (aka the "Lord Voldemort" of media moguls) posted a very controversial message on Friday, saying that all Muslims should be held responsible for the actions of Islamic extremists.
He also added that "political correctness makes for denial and hypocrisy."
His tweets come just a few days after the terror attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris.
Needless to say, this statement did not go over well with people online, especially the 23 percent of the world’s population whom he just accused of terrorism.
But over the weekend, "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling came to their defense, firing back at Murdoch with this absolutely perfect Tweet.
She also took responsibility for the Spanish Inquisition, all Christian fundamentalist violence and televangelist Jim Bakker.

If you thought elaborate sand castles were the only way one could express their artistic vision on the beach, Disney Research and ETH Zürich want to introduce you to their Beachbot. Slightly larger than a Roomba, the cartoonish robot turtle uses innovative soft balloon-like wheels so that it doesn’t leave a trail while rolling across a beach, but can deploy a built-in rake as needed to draw elaborate designs in the sand.
