Egypt Arrests Al-Jazeera Journalists For Muslim Brotherhood Ties

CAIRO (AP) -- Egypt's Interior Ministry says security forces have arrested journalists working for the Qatari-based Al-Jazeera network over alleged links to the Muslim Brotherhood, the leading Islamist group that was last week branded as a "terrorist" organization.

Whether those particular "journalists" are connected to the Muslim Brotherhood will be shown eventually. Maybe. But regardless, the network has already had a reputation of being  tied  to the MB, so Egypt's concern is valid.

Back in July 2013 Pamela Geller reported:

At least 22 staffers at the Al Jazeera network in Egypt have quit in protest of the pro-jihad network’s coverage of events in Egypt. The staffers who have quit assert that Al Jazeera brass forced them to take a pro-Muslim Brotherhood stance on the air during the recent anti-Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt....

Jihad murder mastermind Anwar al-Awlaki has praised Al Jazeera, and several years ago one of its most prominent reporters was arrested on terror charges. Al Jazeera also has, for years, been the recipient of numerous al-Qaida videos featuring Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri and American traitor Adam Gadahn. Yet it never seems to be able to trace where these videos are coming from. It has repeatedly been set up at the point of attack right before a bomb went off so it could take the picture of the slaughtered, dismembered bodies.

Al Jazeera has provided material support for jihad terrorism. A number of people in its employ are members of al-Qaida. Al Jazeera’s correspondent in Afghanistan, who interviewed Osama bin Laden, was sent to prison for being an agent of al-Qaida. Al Jazeera’s first managing director was exposed as an agent of the Saddam Hussein regime, and the channel promoted the bloody jihad against American forces in Iraq.

Then reported in August when the American version of AJ was announced (thanks to Al Gore's selling of his failed Current TV network for $500 million dollars (up the Democrat is a "one-percenter" *cough*):

In dispensing Islamic clerical wisdom, Qaradawi has called for the murder of U.S. soldiers and Jews. Earlier this year on his own popular Al Jazeera show, Qaradawi also affirmed the Islamic penalty for “apostasy,” or leaving Islam: death....

NPR is about as close as we get to hard-hitting on the network’s launch, which is already a bad sign. “Critics say Al Jazeera will have trouble shaking its image in the U.S. at least, as a news source with terrorist ties,” Celeste Headlee said by way of introducing Brian Stelter, the media reporter for the New York Times. Was she talking about Al Jazeera’s terrorist tilt – or maybe the 2008 on-air birthday party Al Jazeera threw for Palestinian terrorist Samir Kuntar, who in 1979 killed four Israelis, including a 4-year-old girl whose head he bashed against a rock until she was dead?

Egypt should be concerned about Al-Jazeera and its ties with the Muslim Brotherhood. Its history is proof that it is a puppet for jihadists.
