Time to Profile Journalists

Dr Pipes:

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Two Fox News journalists freed by militants Sunday described a harrowing two weeks of captivity during which they were blindfolded, tied in painful positions and forced at gunpoint to say on a video that they converted to Islam.

"I hope that this never scares a single journalist away from coming to Gaza to cover the story because the Palestinian people are very beautiful and kindhearted,"

These two sentences seem out of place.

These two journalists should stay in Gaza terminally and enjoy the hospitality of their hosts.

Israel should have refused their entry.
