Journalists React to Newsweek's Cover

Newsweek, in what can only be described as a wholesale attempt at achieving obsolescence, has put out a cover story by Ayaan Hirsi Ali on how she survived "Muslim rage." Journalists (and writer-scholars) react:

  1. You've got to be kidding: Cover of Newsweek is "Muslim Rage: How I Survived it. How We Can End It" by Ayaan Hirsi Ali http://pic.twitter.com/e56TvdfP

    I've been talking all week on how extremist groups in MENA have been fanning flames of clash. What now, Newsweek joins the game?

    @LaurenBohn @Max_Fisher @evanchill no it's just part of Newsweek's ongoing policy of illustrating how irrelevant it is.

    Folks, don't get angry with Newsweek, start a hashtag. #NewsweekCovers ? Joe McCarthy: How to survive communism + picture of angry Russians.
