Many of the past contributors to Al-Jazeerah.info are also contributors for like sites such as Op Ed News, Common Dreams, Truthout, Counterpunch, etc., and the content of the articles published on Al-Jazeerah were of similar nature and content as those published on these other progressive sites.
I cannot help but wonder if the very name of the forum, as well as that of its founder/editor, had anything to do with the attacks, intimidations and its ultimate demise.
How tragic that individuals who provide an open forum for peace and peaceful dialogue must fear for their "safety."
