Aziz Ansari Mocks Rupert Murdoch for Saying All Muslims Responsible for ‘Jihadist Cancer’
News Corp CEO Rupert Murdoch‘s infamous tweet about holding all Muslim people accountable for a “growing jihadist cancer” has drawn its fair share of criticism from all kinds of people — pundits, authors, politicians, etc.
Perhaps the best response thus far has come from comedian Aziz Ansari, who was born in South Carolina to a Tamil Muslim family originally from India.
Although the Parks & Recreation star considers himself an atheist, he had a hilariously cutting question for Murdoch:
.@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.

Ansari didn’t stop there, however. He rattled off a series of tweets mockingly blaming Murdoch for crimes committed in the name of Christianity:
.@rupertmurdoch is responsible for all pedophilia committed by anyone Catholic. @rupertmurdoch why are you pro-pedophile :(

And he got the Twitter hashtag #RupertsFault trending in the United States by sharing other users’ mocking tweets blaming the media mogul for the actions of other people.
