Ramadan 2014: Katie Hopkins' Anti-Islamic Tweets Spark Massive Outrage

TV personality Katie Hopkins isn't new to controversy. She's courted a fresh one with her statements on Ramadan which began on Sunday.

The former reality star launched a series of bitter attacks on Ramadan and the Islamic community on her Twitter account and said she feels 'grumpy' when she doesn't eat.

The former Apprentice contestant wrote:

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?

Ramadan - a time of reflection and self discipline. Death toll surpassed 1000 in Iraq 2013. The bloodiest month yet.https://www.huffpost.com/?err_code=404&err_url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.huffingtonpost.com%2F2013%2F08%2F01%2Firaq-july-death-toll_n_3688443.html — Katie Hopkins (@KTHopkins) June 30, 2014

if we take 5:2 as a basic idea, what is the ratio for Ramadan? 18:6?

Hopkins's tweet sparked massive public disgust, and tweets condemning her anti-Ramadan remarks flooded Twitter.

While one user said that she is a 'stain upon humanity,' the other said he almost felt sorry for her.

I don't know who Katie Hopkins is and I don't care if she's trying to insult Islam to get abit of buzz on Twitter, don't entertain it. — Awais Elahi (@ta7yafilisteen) June 30, 2014

Earlier, she had faced public outrage for mocking a gravely ill child who appeared on the X Factor.

In her tweet about the 10-year-old Kaychanel Willson, she wrote: "Kaychanel has enough on her plate without me adding to it. Could have been worse. #KayEsteeLauder."
