Inflaming the rest of the middle east is ok..

Some irony here. Iran has suspended Al-Jazeera because it is inflaming the arab minority in the southwest, where there's been some unrest..
Tehran on Monday ordered the station to cease operations until the network explained the motives behind its coverage, which Tehran believes inflamed the violence.

"If it is proved that Al-Jazeera committed a crime, it will be prosecuted," an official at Iran's Culture and Islamic Guidance Ministry, Mohammad Hossein Khoshvaght, told state-run TV on Monday.

"We suspended its activity in Iran to investigate the network's role in unrest in Ahvaz. We expect the network to respect Iran's national integrity and security."
Al-Jazeera just needs to get back to what it knows best - inflaming the arab world against Israel.
