Online Petition

Trump supporters “lonely virgins” on Twitter.

According to reports, one petitioner calling himself Marcus Aurelius set up a change.org petition for “J.K. Rowling to take in Muslim refugees in her 18 spare bedrooms”.

The petition declared, “J.K. Rowling has often announced her solidarity with Middle Eastern refugees on Twitter. She is a well-known advocate of open borders and often stated that Europe has the duty to give every single one of these refugees from all over the middle eastrarely war zones-asylum and welfare.”

The petitioners demanded that Rowling “grants no less than 18 refugees shelter in her mansions for, at least, 8 years”. “She rejects safe immigration, which is why we also demand, that there will be no additional vetting process for these refugees. To make this group of refugees representative of the situation in Europe, we also demand that the group consists of 14 men and 4 women since over 75 per cent of the millions of refugees are male.”

Rowling has not responded to the petition so far. It added, “Everyone who represented a different opinion (on refugees) was viciously attacked by her, and she is not alone. Many other multi-millionaires and billionaires seem to be fond of refugees.”
