Why is it a "significant event for religious fanaticism"?
The USA typically thinks it is the only country in the world, and if
it's not happening in English, it's not happening. Now the network
that has covered new Al-Qaeda vids in Arabic, which tend to be somewhat
under-reported in the USA because of that - are going to get aired on
an English network. They're going to become much more visible,
expecially if Al-Qaeda records them in English for the English version
of the network.

What's the connection between Al Qaeda and Al Jazeera? They're both mostly
arab? Tim McVeigh and CNN have the same kind of relationship, you know.

No. Al Jazeera reporters have been convicted of terrorism and ties to al
Qaeda.

No, they do not.

Riiiight. That's why Al Qaeda hates them.
They were also big Saddam fans, that's why he kicked them out of Iraq at
some point.
FYI Al Jazeera was founded by former arab language BBC middle east
journalists, when the beeb closed this service.

No, they do not.
They're both americans, aren't they?

Ah, that explains why they're terrorist sympathizers.
