THIS is apropos your editorial ‘Threat to Al Jazeera ‘ (July 7). We have been watching and listening to global news from Al Jazeera which provides vast information.

In recent days, Al Jazeera is facing military threats from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, the UAE and Egypt because of the Arab spring. These countries have the soul purpose to shut down Al Jazeera because it had been providing news about these countries which may cause a bad image for them.

But we are hopeful that the founder of Al Jazeera, Qatar, won’t let it shut down so easily.
