A right-wing media pundit from the United States has called for all Muslims to be killed in a ‘sarcastic’ tweet made in response to the Boston Marathon bombings.
Erik Rush, a regular on Fox News, appeared to attribute blame to Islamic extremists following yesterday’s blasts, in which at least three people were killed.
“Let's bring more Saudis in without screening them! C'mon!,” he wrote on Twitter.
Another Twitter user asked, “Are you ALREADY BLAMING MUSLIMS??” – to which Rush reportedly responded: "Yes, they're evil. Let's kill them all."
Rush later said his tweet was “sarcastic”, and appeared to have deleted the post this morning.
The tweet drew a flood of responses from Twitter users, many of them expressing shock and anger at the tweet. Rush responded to many of his critics with a series of profane responses.
Hamas, Al-Qaeda, Taliban = Mujahideen
Hezbollah, Iran = Terrorist
Get it, queers?
