Journalists are terrorists? In what way does gathering news equate with terrorism?

What! Journalists associated with terrorists ? Nah, couldn't be. They have the utmost integrity, citizens of the globe, yada yada yada ...
1. "It has been said that Journalists are terrorists' best friends, because they are willing to give terrorist operations maximum exposure. This is not to say that journalists as a group are sympathetic to terrorists, although it may appear so. It simply means that violence is news, whereas peace and harmony are not. The terrorists need the media, and the media find in terrorism all the ingredients of an exciting story. Their attitude to terrorism has run the entire gamut from exaggerated respect to sycophancy, such as calling a terrorist a freedom fighter, an activist, a militant or a revolutionary. The media cannot ignore terrorism, but society would certainly be better off If the media were not driven by sensationalism." So writes Walter Laqueur in his hard-hitting book on new terrorism in the 20th century.
2. Scores of journalists are still imprisoned in Turkey, most having been accused of having links with terrorist groups. Information on the specific cases is very difficult to obtain.
3. An article appeared in the 13 August edition of the Lebanon-based Palestinian weekly, Al-Manar, stating that there is  serious thinking  among the Palestinians about obtaining biological weapons, according to a special dispatch by The Middle East Media Research Institute. The Al-Manar article was signed by Taufiq Abu-Khosa, Deputy Chairman of The Palestinian Center for Information Sources-Gaza. MEMRI notes that The Palestinian Center for Information Sources in Gaza was directed by Jihad Al-Wazir, the son of Abu Jihad [former second in command for Yasser Arafat and head of PLO s military forces]. In the past, the Center received American aid, but once the aid was stopped, the Center was transferred to the Palestinian Journalists Association. It is now managed by Deputy Chairman, Taufiq Abu-Khosa.

Oh...maybe you mean only Islamic journalists are terrorists.

No, there are other journalists that support and enable Islamic terrorists.

Beg your pardon; I see what you mean.

It's about time

So their real offense is not newsgathering, but being Islamic. Why didn't you say so?

It sounds like you can't make up your mind whether Islam is a religion of peace or terrorism.

Murdering millions of Israelis and Americans is the near-term goal of an assortment of Islamic terrorists and the regimes that sponsor and support them. I can't think of a single Islamic journal supporting our war on the terrorists, can you ?

So it's not really terrorism you're against; it's Islamic terrorism. Sory; I should have understood from the get-go that your stance is not one of principle but cheerfully ruthless self-interest.
