It was really satirical of "The New Yorker" magazine officials to put up a picture of U.S. Democratic Presidential Candidate, Barack Obama on the cover page of its latest issue with himself posing as a muslim and his wife as a terrorist holding an AK-47 in her hand, where the flag of the United States of America is burning at the fireplace under Osama Bin Laden's photograph!!!Barack Obama reacted furiously at the cartoon which he commented "is not funny"!! The cover page was designed with the view that Barack Obama is a muslim claimed by the Republicans. The presidential hopeful's campaigners said most readers will find the New Yorker magazine's front cover "tasteless and offensive, and we agree".
Muslims all over the world are being meted out such cruel treatment, guys. A muslim doesn't get a visa easily, he's always checked and double checked and so on! Shahrukh was once interrogated at U.K. airport for hours together just becuase his name had a surname, "Khan"!! Kamal Hassan was interrogated for sporting a beard which made the authorities suspect that he was a muslim!! Just because a few muslim bastards are terrorists, why is the whole community being treated so badly???
Now, this satirical photo is reminiscent of the treatment that muslims are being offered, nothing else!! But the New Yorker stood by its cover. It said: "The fantastical images shows them for the obvious distortions they are. Satire is part of what we do."
