Idiot Progressives Protest 'Muslim Rage' Cover at Newsweek

Actually, that cover is da bomb!

Dylan Byers compares it to Newsweek's 2001 cover story by Fareed Zakaria, "Why Do They Hate Us?" -- which I've been reminded of this last week, naturally.

But see the knee-jerk progs at Think Progress, attacking Newsweek with the phony "Islamophobic" slur, "Newsweek Publishes Islamophobic ‘Muslim Rage’ Cover In Response to Embassy Attacks."

These few are indifferent to the particular motives or arguments behind any perceived insult to their faith. They do not care about an individual’s political alignment, gender, religion, or occupation. They do not care whether the provocation comes from serious literature or a stupid movie.
