Jason Manford shared a furious post on Facebook last night after the horrific Paris terror attacks that saw at least 120 people lose their lives.
The comedian slammed the “cowards” in an expletive-ridden post – which later led to him having his profile completely removed from the social media site.
“F**king cowards. Slaughtering innocent unarmed people for what? Families and children enjoying life, theatre, meals? Not an army vs army you f**king cowards,” it began.
“For what? In whose name? Are you doing this in the name of your god? Cos I’ve got news for you, if you think your ‘god’ is gonna reward you for this type of atrocity then your god is a massive c**t.”
The father-of-three went on: “I hope you are all caught and murdered in a similar agonising way you f**king scumbags.
“You are an embarrassment to humanity and a s**t stain on all of humanity. You will never defeat us, we are too strong you utter b**tards (sic).”
While his profile – and the post with it – was swiftly taken down, apparently for breaching Facebook’s guidelines, his fans continued to share a screen grab of his post on Twitter.
But while those re-posting it mainly supported what he was saying, one Twitter user branded him “Islamophobic”.
“Exactly where have I been Islamophobic?” he replied.
While writing to someone else, Jason then shared: “I’d say the same no matter what religion. My track record is proof enough I simply dislike extremists. As we all do.”
He added: “You’re obviously very upset so will leave you to it. I apologise if I caused you any more upset on such a horrible evening. xx”
Hours later, his Facebook profile had been reinstated but the post removed.
In Paris last night, gunmen and bombers attacked restaurants, a concert hall and a sports stadium killing at least 120 people.
Four gunmen systematically slaughtered at least 87 young people at a rock concert at the Bataclan concert hall.
Anti-terrorist commandos eventually launched an assault on the building.
The gunmen detonated explosive belts and dozens of shocked survivors were rescued, while bodies were still being removed thiis morning.
Some 40 more people were killed in five other attacks in the Paris region, including an apparent double suicide bombing outside the Stade de France national stadium, where the French and German leaders were watching a football match.
Some 200 people were injured.
