Fox News and the New York Post are owned by Billionaire Rupert Murdoch.

Remember this headline, only a few days before the British referendum 🇬🇧 on Europe?

The Sun is another lying paper owned by Rupert Murdoch.

This Billionaire ghoul doesn't even run real news organizations.

That seems like a racist interpretation of the word we shouldn’t cite and encourage

Calling just* any Muslim Islamist is racist.

Eta: since you didn't actually rta, here's the blurb about the author who wrote the article, given before the article begins:

Rishvin Ismath is Co-founder and Spokesperson of the Council of Ex-Muslims of Sri Lanka and the only public ex-Muslim in Sri Lanka. Rishvin is currently living in hiding after he escaped multiple attempts of murder by Islamic fundamentalists in his country. You can read his story on Humanists International’s website.

Im indigenous and there’s a list of shit about what should or shouldn’t offend me. So I’ll leave it up to Muslims, who in any case I am not shitting on. You’re just being pedantic about everyone not sharing your meanings for words that mean different things across the planet. Which I find is so common now and designed almost to make people get offended and fight.

Go to the Middle East and say Islamist is a bad word and see what they say

That would depend if KSA or Syria or Iran.

Eta: it's not my meaning. It's the meaning. So you're indigenous. Big whoop. In some places, indigenous are racist toward black people, in other places they aren't. You're just trying to make being racist ok because you claim to be indigenous.
