Rupert Murdoch maybe be more infamous than famous, but he still counts as a celebrity, right? And his celebrity Twitter account never fails to produce something stupid. For instance:


Sigh. Of course. Because every single one of the world’s 1.6 billion Muslims should be held accountable for every other Muslim’s actions. As a Chicagoan, I don’t even want to be held accountable for my city’s Cubs fans actions so I can’t imagine how Muslims would feel about being represented by the very worst their religion has to offer.
