Huffington Post use pic of Zayn Malik in ISIS article
Quote:
The refugees fleeing Syria make it more than crystal clear that the Islamic State is not creating any kind of haven for Islam. But if you want a more relatable face of the "gray zone of coexistence" -- a success story you've definitely heard of -- consider international pop-sensation and former One Direction singer Zayn Malik. The terror group despises Muslims of all stripes who reject their bankrupt ideology and look to the West for hope. They're counting on us making the mistake of rejecting these Muslims.
That's because he's mentioned in the story. In fact the whole thing is about trying to portray Zayn as something of a poster child for the Muslim acceptance movement. Not particularly comfortable with the idea of that, though. He doesn't seem to be exactly the most savory of characters...
Actually the article talks about how someone like Zayn represents the opposite of the delusional image of the Muslim by ISIS' eyes, and that we should embrace him & others like him.
But I agree that just putting his pic with that headline was really messy.

Do you agree with the responses on twitter?
They could have at least used a picture of Janet.
