Comedian Aziz Ansari, who was born in South Carolina to a Tamil Muslim family originally from India, took to Twitter to call out media mogul Rupert Murdoch on this message that he posted on twitter, following the deadly shooting in Paris last week:
Maybe most Moslems peaceful, but until they recognize and destroy their growing jihadist cancer they must be held responsible.
— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) January 10, 2015
Murdoch was highly criticized for his tweet and subsequently appeared to be back peddling by posting this message a few days later:
Extraordinary scenes in Paris today, but do not forget the heroic sacrifice of Ahmed Merabet, Muslim police officer whose funeral was today.
— Rupert Murdoch (@rupertmurdoch) January 11, 2015
But Aziz was not going to let him off the hook that easily. Here are a few of the messages that he tweeted to Murdoch last night:
@rupertmurdoch Quit back peddling you racist piece of shit
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
.@rupertmurdoch Rups can we get a step by step guide? How can my 60 year old parents in NC help destroy terrorist groups? Plz advise.
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
.@rupertmudoch Are you responsible for the evil shit all Christians do or just the insane amount of evil you yourself contribute to?
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
.@rupertmurdoch is responsible for all pedophilia committed by anyone Catholic. @rupertmurdoch why are you pro-pedophile 🙁
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
And then he started #RupertsFault and many people jumped on board:
.@rupertmurdoch You are Catholic, why are you not hunting pedophiles? #RupertsFault
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
Aziz also clarified his position on religion:
To be clear, I am not religious and have nothing against Christians or Muslims, just ignorance like what @rupertmurdoch is spreading.
— Aziz Ansari (@azizansari) January 12, 2015
Given that this isn’t the first (and probably not the last) time that Rupert Murdoch has written such ridiculous things, we’re glad Aziz decided to give him a piece of his mind!
