Boston mayor blasts Rolling Stone for glamorizing Boston Marathon; The Atlantic Monthly says not so fast...

Jihad Watch  "Pamela Geller brilliantly imagines Rolling Stone's next issue..."

"Meanwhile, many stores are refusing to carry the magazine with Tsarnaev on the cover. The Leftist media, of course, has been glamorizing jihad and demonizing those who oppose it for quite some time.

"But the brouhaha over the cover photo ignores the main reason Rolling Stone used that selfie in the first place; the piece is excellent. Seriously, read it. The author, Janet Reitman, wrote a fantastic, well-researched and thorough report on the evolution of "Jahar," or as his friends called him, "Jizz," from a National Honor Society student to an accused terrorist."

"In addition to talking to a wide array of his personal friend network, Reitman meticulously goes through seemingly all of Jahar's 1,088 tweets from his Twitter account. That's one of the many signs that she has done her duty as a reporter. So while you may not love the cover, do read what's inside."
