        Excellent stuff Ian. Once again. Have you had other media organisations - MSM - look to republish this important piece? Or taken an interest?

        Curious that you would report all this, and yet still take the State's narrative re: 'terrorist attacks' at face-value. Ever heard of Operation Gladio, award-winning journalist?

        You cant really believe Rupert Murdoch would devote an entire front-page to "challenging ultraconservative interpretations of Islam"? I put it to you that it was his & the State's intention to hype such 'interpretations', in false contradistinction to their 'enlightened' selves.
