KUALA LUMPUR- At a tiny Arab cafe in Malaysia's smart Bukit Bintang area of Kuala Lumpur, a organisation of Malaysians have been relaxing, puffing away upon their shisha, or water-pipe. But their faces have been moving as their row turns to Newsweek's new "Muslim Rage" cover which has created controversy opposite a Islamic world.
"Do they just not have a clue?" said Yussif Ahmad Aziz, a 22-year-old political science student in a city. "It's like these people in a west wish to get Muslims upset, they wish to have fighting difference as well as they wish to insult."
For these university students, Newsweek's new cover has become a new point of row among Muslims in a country. For Ayub Salim, a new graduate as well as broadcasting intern with a leading daily in Malaysia, a repository unsuccessful in a duty to defend probity as well as impartiality.
"I have zero wrong unequivocally with using a cover 'Muslim Rage' though what unequivocally angers me is a writer of a cover story, Ayaan Hirsi Ali. She is someone who knows how to insult Islam all as well well as well as she has done so in a past. Her being a a single to write a essay is a sign which a repository wanted to go upon to stir hatred as well as anger," he argued.
The repository claimed which their issue "accurately depicts a events of a past week." Last week, Muslims opposite a universe took to a streets to protest an anti-Islam movie which insulted as well as defamed Islam as well as Prophet Mohamed. Protests were held in over 20 countries, as well as in a few places turned violent.
Malaysia saw a series of tiny demonstrations opposite a film, const! ructed b y a Coptic Christian in a United States, though they remained peaceful.
The Newsweek issue has hit a haughtiness with Muslims opposite a country, with a single online Twitter user writing, "we talk about creating acceptance as well as understanding of events, though then a repository goes as well as insults."
For these students here, they told Bikyamasr.com which by having Ali write a cover story, a repository has lost all a credibility in a situation.
"It is clear to me which whoever made a decision for this cover as well as this essay has no idea about Islam, because their goal appears to be to irritate Muslim hate as well as anger," Aziz continued.
Newsweek went a step further, arguing which a cover was to spark debate. "Our covers as well as hashtags bring courtesy as well as spark discuss around topics of vital global significance as well as a internet is an open forum for people to go upon their own discussion," orator Andrew Kirk told AFP.
But for Aziz, Salim as well as millions of Muslims in Malaysia as well as opposite a Islamic world, it highlights a growing gulf which exists in between a west as well as Islam.
"They patently do not understand, or wish to equivocate a real row upon Islam as well as what Muslims think. Ali does not represent Muslims as well as this is another blatant attack upon the approach of thinking as well as what angers us," said Salim.
