>Meanwhile, what's the story with the .com version of al Jazeera? Who is >behind that? Though it says it's based in London (and though it's worth checking its front page for current news, which it takes from reputable sources) I thought it was a right-wing US Christian anti-Israel (and not exactly pro-Muslim) site. It was a bit difficult to tell, but links gave that impression (but they were I think inserted by Google). Then there's a link -- for no apparent reason -- to http://www.pro-american.com/forums/ What this story said about the site I didn't at first know -- it's a seriously weird piece! http://www.islamonline.com/cgi-bin/news_service/world_full_story.asp?service _id=486 but when I researched the story I found that *this* aljazeera is indeed US, it seems to be a Muslim anti-Israel site (but I could be being unfair) -- here it is: http://www.aljazeerah.info/Support%20Al-Jazeerah/Support%20Al-Jazeerah%20Hom e.htm That's enough "research" for one day! But I might ring the London offices of this Aljazeera to see what happens..
