Of course yes, media has become an easy tool for terror outfits to spread the message in one go. is there any need to show the visuals of Laden saying anything again and again on the news channels? With shooting single tape of the terror message of 5-10 minutes becomes a complete movie of 3-4 hours on news channels. Showing such visuals should be stooped with immediate effect.

Showing such videos of terrorists is also a kind of support to their mission - spreading violence without using mind.

Terror tapes should be banned. They are simply encouraging more threats to come and weakening the morale of the viewing public.

The fact that these tapes are openly viewed means that the government has no stronghold of censoring terrorism. This is not an issue of curtailing freedom of expression, but instead ensuring the public of its welfare that the people are safe.

Afterall, what’s the point of allowing terror tapes to go on air? Will they bring any good to the viewers? What should be seen on our screens is that nations are conquering evil instead of its proliferation.

Terrorists should be punished for their actions and should not in any way be given the opportunity to create havoc and information dissemination that they are growing in numbers.

Muslims, by nature, are good. They are our brothers. They don’t like war.

The jihad movement should never be tolerated. Only terrorists are in favor of that. With more terror threats, it will surely encourage jihad movement if left unattended.

It is necessary to show who is culprit behind the terror attacks. Showing tapes is n't kind of support to the terrorists but a step forward to make people aware about the possible attack in future by these terrorists.

People should view Osama's tapes to know what are his next moves. This is the age of information technology and its hard to stop anyone from viewing these tapes.

Without such tapes how can people know that terror outfits are giving training to children for using them in suicide attacks. Just think about the brave reporters who shoot such visuals. Yes, I am firm believer of banning such tapes in which the head of such outfits spread their messages to the followers and supporters all around the world.

Media is acting like mouthpiece of terror outfits. No need to show such tapes again and again.

It shows world is not serious enough in its battle against terrorism. We should destroy the roots of terrorism. Without supporters such outfits will be dead in years.

'Jihad' is the mist hated word. All terrorists always talk about their Jihad against ill forces working against them and Islam. Their tapes shouldn't be shown to common public.

we can’t judge all the muslims with the same stick simply because there are a few frantic who are misguiding the individuals. They are the black sheep tarnishing the whole community. with the focus on fundamental Islamists and terrorists from the Middle East and Afghanistan, Muslims are considered responsible for all the ills in the world. This is unfair. What I feel is, even being a non muslim, there should not be shallow mentality but a greater tolerance and understanding towards Islam. World can’t and shouldn’t afford to be petty and small-minded, if we are serious and want peace to prevail. We gotta reach out to other faiths and try to appreciate the finer points. This will simple open a new window to the world for peace. However, if we close our minds and hearts we are sowing the seeds of hatred and suspicion and are then definitely going down a very slippery slope with no point to return.

No, the terror tapes are not for the same mind – those who have the sense to judge right or wrong are not carried away with all this nonsense. After all a muslim in UK gave the tip to foil the suspected plot to blow up as many as 10 passenger jets leaving Britain for the United States in 2006. This is the only instance, and there are many examples. Therefore, today there is desperate need in the world to change the outlook towards Islam.

Islam is the religion of peace. It was, it is, and it will be, however, some of the muslims are interpreting it to suit their purpose. And the terror tapes are one of them. They are the hoaxes intended to misguide the ignorant and illiterate people. These few have dented the Muslim image. Instead of fighting it with the guns, educating them will be a more potential weapon.

Yea may be the people in Islam has gone wrong somewhere but not everywhere and all the times. Bloodshed is not the solution to all the problems, fair enough. Then can you define Bush’s saying that “either you are with us or you are against us”. If fanaticism prevails and grasping the world, that is only because it has got its king with the name ‘Bush’ and Americanism.

sorry to say ppl, but muslims continue to propagate violence through these videos tapes and all. They can never be at peace and let others live with peace. Islam is the only source of terrorism. There is hatred in shias and sunnis and see how they are killing each other in Iraq. can they justify 9/11, bombings in UK, bombings in Indian metro cities…or sectarian violence in Iraq, and the fiery speeches of Iranian leaders ‎about Israel, by the threatening messages of Bin Laden and Azawhiri on Al Jazeera ‎TV. There are sections in Muslim societies or communities which condone and ‎support such acts... and now these terror videos, still if west is doing something to put the threat off, they are against Islam, we are against evil and will put it off and for that there is a firm need to ward these videos off.

as long as western foreign policy in Mideast remains divide and rule and biased towards israel and lacks justice and balance, western activities in the region will be perceived by many muslims as state terrorism, triggered by Christians and Jews against Muslims. Terrorism is as much part of the political equation as terrorism and its recognition is part of the solution. And up to that time this muslim protests against the west will continue and so does the maneuverings like terror videos there is the need of more tolerance and compromise on both side

Don't lecture the western world until you are able to stand up against violence and demonstrate the ability to get along. We stupid Americans believed it when the Iraqi people said they wanted to have someone save them from Saddam. We should have let them continue to live under the boot. We can't help it if Muslim don't know how to be peaceful. and that's why they are playing now the dirty tricks like terror tapes and likes but let me tell you this will not go long.

while it does not encourage the jihad movement it definitely works as good propaganda and terrorize people.

Impose a ban on showing the terror tapes as soon as possible to restrict the advantage terror outfits get from the telecast of such visuals in the interest of humanity.

Sending the terror tapes to media houses is just a tool to create a sympathy among the common people. Terrorist organisation is doing it with the help of Big media publications and production houses, Who cares of the consequences.

I tell you the meaning of Jihad... This is the best logic to use after killing person or persons by saying that your god had ordered you to kill them to save your religion. Killing everyone who is not in favor of your way of living and thinking is Jihad.

Can anybody tell me please what is the meaning of Jihad??? I am sick of reading it everywhere.

Jihad gives Islamic extremists power and authority to kill anyone.

Muslim clerics never issued any fatwa again Muslim terrorists till date. Is there any specific reason behind it?
