    By Alex Fitzpatrick | Mashable – Mon, Sep 17, 2012

    Minutes after Newsweek tweeted its upcoming "Muslim Rage" cover, the #MuslimRage Twitter hashtag was flooded with lighthearted jokes about Muslim life.

Many of the #MuslimRage tweets were subversive in nature, responding to what many consider to be an overly sensationalist cover story.
