#muslimrage

I feel that the cover of Newsweek titled "Muslim Rage" does injustice to the Muslim people. I think that this story does not really cover the true story of why Muslims are so enraged. If the magazine possibly explained what the Muslim culture was, what sparked this rage and other things, the article would not be so bias. I believe that this picture captures all the emotions that help provoke a riot. The picture contains emotions of passion, anger, and confusion. The men in the picture seem so dedicated to the cause that it makes the viewer want to be passionate like this for a cause. Although, I do believe the picture and title do not agree with each other, they do play off each other in order to sell magazines. The tweets titled #muslimrage seemed to mock the magazine. For instance, one tweet stated that she was having a "good hair day". I think in these tweets it shows that the location you reside in definitely results in the way you are treated. The Newsweek article and twitter have two completely different views on Muslim rage. Once again I go back to the point that if the religion as well as the Muslims' local issues were highlighted instead of looked upon the tweets as well as viewers opinions would be greatly affected. The "Muslim Rage" title to me sent all the wrong messages, yet it sold to the media and publicized "drama" which is what viewers want to see.
