Has anyone else seen that Al Jazeera's mainpage has a section devoted to conspiracy theories? It prominently features 9/11 conspiracy garbage about WTC7 which has been debunked.
This is something that is neglected about 9/11 conspiracy mongering. When 9/11 denialists like William Rodriguez…

"[...]Al-Jazeera! Al-Jazeera, with its mysterious (sinister!) agenda, its undisclosed connections, its desire to influence events!

But I think its a step in the right direction to throw reality right in the face of radical imams on TV.
Wow, that is quite possibly the best speech I've seen in a long time. She gives the west too much credit but the realities of the problem with Islam is impressive. The call for Muslims to turn toward a future that does allows them to contribute to the greater world community and not fight it is a good one.
Interestingly, christians in this country often sound a lot like her description of Muslims. Forcing religious views on others is not just a problem for Muslims.
