Adil Ray challenged Piers Morgan after the TV presenter asked for people to 'root these bastards out before they murder'.
The comedian and actor was quick to ask the TV host to stop inciting divisions. He posted, "Piers. Many Muslims do, which resulted in recent arrests in London. Let's wait for more facts. Don't divide."

Many of us can cope and will have society to pull us through. The rest, thanks to likes of @piersmorgan will just retreat feeling useless. https://t.co/aGUWBGlbB6

It's not about dividing. It's about rooting out these murderous scum. https://t.co/O459K9FU2t

Piers Morgan then called on Muslim to do more to root out extremists.
The Muslim community can & should do more to root out extremists. You should encourage them to do so. Urgently. https://t.co/dI6WABxbhT

To which he was again challenged.
@piersmorgan We educate young people on ways to integrate. We promote peace, we do community projects and yet we're still told we need to do more. What?

@piersmorgan So tired of this stupid perspective. How do I personally influence the actions of someone I don't know and their corrupted ideologies.
