Here is the link to the article, http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/jahars-world-20130717 Why not take the time and read the article before saying what RS's intentions were in publishing it.

I probably would not have read it had it not been for the cover. Cannot remember the last time I read anything from Rolling Stone, but my time was not wasted by reading this. Also do not think putting him on the cover is going to make him any happier or inspire copycat bombers.
