The Harry Potter series author J.K. Rowling has responded sharply to Murdoch's tweet that while "Maybe most Moslems peaceful," all were responsible for "growing jihadist cancer" until they worked to destroy it.

"Oh, and Jim Bakker," she added, referring to the American televangelist who was jailed for fraud.
