On balance, the Islamic media's taste for what the West terms sensationalizing and conspiracy mongering is less than meets the eye. Based on my research, it is apparent that the Islamic media's correspondents and editors work harder, dig deeper, and think more than most of their Western counterparts. This is not to say that the Islamic media do not suffer from sensationalized conspiracy theories, but they probably are no more prone to those faults than their Western colleagues.

I don't consider Osama Bin Laden to be a terrorist. I consider him to be a resistance fighter.

Right now, the choice isn't between war and peace. It is between war and endless war.
