Katie Hopkins offends entire Muslim community as she mocks faith that 'blows things up'

KATIE Hopkins has had a pop at pretty much everyone and everything, from the overweight and benefit claimants to Josie Cunningham and the name Tyler

But now, the big-mouthed star has taken on an entire religion in her most hateful Twitter rant yet.
The Apprentice star unleashed her latest fountain of vitriol on the Islamic faith and, in particular, Ramadan.
Ramadan, the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, began today and signals a month of fasting for Muslims.
While it is only Muslims that have to abstain from food from dawn to dusk, the practice seems to offend Katie for some reason – so much so that she decided to taunt fasters with CAKE.

She tweeted: "Are you celebrating Ramadan? Here is a picture of a juicy cake. Rainbow cake. #itsgoodtobegay."

“I get grumpy when I don't eat – but I don't blow things up. Religion of peace?”

Along with this post, she shared a photo of a slice of multi-coloured cake, showing her support for gay pride.
Needless to say, this mocking message offended many, but while this would deter most people from continuing on a hateful rent, opposition only spurred Katie on.
The mum-of-three began to insult the entire religion, writing: "Ramadan typically brings a spike in violence in Middle East. I get grumpy when I don't eat – but I don't blow things up. Religion of peace?"
Katie then compared Ramadan fasting to the 5:2 diet, tweeting: "If we take 5:2 as a basic idea, what is the ratio for Ramadan? 18:6?"
Many of Hopkin's followers shot back in disbelief at her tweets, with one writing: "Tell me you are a troll account. Someone can't genuinely be as ignorant as you are being right now."
Others called her a bigot and intolerant – but of course, that didn't stop her.

After one irate follower said that she would be going to hell, Katie replied: "I am going to hell. Whodda thought? Only virgins allowed in paradise I suppose."
She also claimed that messages from Muslims that supported LGBT rights didn't prove anything, saying: "For all my Muslim friends posting as if Islam is tolerant of LGBT community, I fail to see evidence of this day to day."
However, when another follower chose to insult Christmas – a main tradition in the Christian religion – Katie found this to be insulting, writing: "Do not mock my beautiful country or British values. Christmas is a beautiful British tradition."
Er, don't dish it out if you can't take it, Katie
