Recently, the staff of Reuters news agency in Israel and the Palestinian Authority, teamed up to produce a video featuring none other than top terrorist Zakaria Zubeidi. Zubeidi was sitting in Reuters' Jenin office, saying he was Reuters’ chief. The video was shown at a party attended by BBC, ITN, the Independent newspaper, and French journalists, who "thought the video was hilarious".
Now, Scott points out that the Guardian is using reporters who work for terrorists organizations like Hizb Ut Tahrir.
It will come as no surprise to many Ablution readers that our favourite Guardian cub reporter, the irrepressibly sassy Dilpazier Aslam, was working for this group as recently as June of last year, when he was writing for the Hizb Ut Tahrir magazine. The email address given for Mr. Aslam is at the 1924.org domain, which belongs to that organisation.
Scott notes this about Hizb Ut Tahrir:
From the BBC, 27 August, 2003 (emphasis added):
"An influential British Muslim has told Newsnight that unless action is taken against an extreme Muslim group operating in the United Kingdom then we could soon be experiencing terrorist attacks along the lines of those in Baghdad and Jerusalem.
"Hizb Ut Tahrir or HT is an Islamic splinter group, which is banned in many countries around the world. It operates freely in Britain.
"But Newsnight has discovered that its website promotes racism and anti-Semitic hatred, calls suicide bombers martyrs, and urges Muslims to kill Jewish people."
Be sure to read Scott's email to the Guardian.
