Muslims Mock Incendiary Newsweek Cover With #MuslimRage Tweets: “Having Such a Good Hair Day, No One Even Knows”
Following last week’s attacks on U.S. embassies in the Middle East, Newsweek published a nuanced cover story discussing the complex sociopolitical factors leading to these violent outbreaks. Hahahhaha, just kidding!! Do you even know how hard it is to make a magazine profitable these days? Actually, Newsweek decided to create some free publicity by trolling the American public with a “Muslim Rage” headline and a picture of the requisite Scary Bearded Muslims.
Newsweek then asked its readers to discuss the inflammatory cover on Twitter: “Want to discuss our latest cover? Let’s hear it with the hashtag: #MuslimRage.” So people did. And it was hilarious. Here are some of our favorite #MuslimRage tweets:
I’m having such a good hair day. No one even knows. #MuslimRage
