Ya.. I got that. The pulled it from his FB account. By glam shot.. I don't mean "done by a professional"... but a shot that helps to glamorize him. Which...IMO... this photo does.
This isn't the photo of him running away from the bomb site... or a mug shot. This makes him sweet and cute and cuddly.

But, hey.... for all of you that don't have any issue with this issue... go and read it.
Not me though.

Putting him on the cover of the RS issue does glamorize him and no doubt people who think what he did was "cool" (and trust me, I am sure there are those types out there) will think that maybe if THeY did something then they too can get on the cover of RS. Most probably won't read the article but instead just the photo.

Don't give these guys any more publicity than what they have. Why not put a Facebook type blank face & have the article about how "anyone" can be the next "one" or whatever the article is supposed to be about.

Worst thing for terrorists as far they are concerned (and this is strictly my guess) is to not even mention their name again. Lock them up in a dark hole somewhere and let society forget them.

?
You found an article written from a pro RS stand point. Congrats!

Yep!

However you slice it... I think the majority of people are against this....

In any case... I have made my position clear... I think it was in bad taste.

I'm not picking on you or anyone else. Just trying to point out the silliness of the whole negative reaction to the cover photo while ignoring the content/context. Should they have photoshopped him to look more like Charles Manson? Wearing a turban?

I don't care if they bash the sh!t out of him in the article... it's pure sensationalism.

It would be sensationalism if they placed it over the death and destruction he caused. The photo is in keeping with RS's cover style. Just because he never looked like what we perceive a terrorist to look like doesn't mean it's offensive. He looked like a pretty normal young man. I think that's the image they wanted to portray. Not all terrorists are creepy, crazed old men.

I hear what you are saying.. and I appreciate that someone plays devils advocate.
But upon checking articles' comment sections and Rolling Stones FB page... I don't think very many people have your stance on this issue.
Not that the majority means they're right.... just that a large demographic finds this offensive.

LOL.. no one requires a terrorist to wear a turban or be old and creepy. That's you who are painting that picture....
