Do terrorists indirectly help photographers?

-The attacks on WTC 1 & 2.

-The house invasion by "the feds" to take Elian Gonzalez (whose scared,

looking at someone armed with a gun fighting to take him away).

-Israelis refusing Palestinians their freedom of religion, to pray at Al-Asqa.

-The in(famous) bombing of Baghdad Iraq.

Just a few examples of the "best pics of the decade" - all thanks, or no thanks

- to terrorism. Depending on your personal thoughts and feelings about it.

Update:

Clanger: The link works fine for me. Maybe you should run anti-virus or something.

Update 2:

"Israeli terrorists not allowing muslims to pray?"

Not allowing someone to follow their freedom

of religion isn't what I'd call "generous", pal.

Update 3:

Clanger:

1. I never said I condone terrorism by anybody, nor that I require the support of terrorists (the term itself is quite vague without specifically referring to whatever political or religious faction).

2. I'm not a photographer myself.

3. I don't know why the link isn't working for you, or what to do to resolve the technical difficulty your experiencing. Since your particularly concerned about the Palestine-Israel one - I'll try and find another link with the picture.

Update 4:

The point of the question is: Does terrorism indirectly keep photographers employed? Since you end up with things like in the first link I showed. 100+ pics called "best of the decade", which apparently include some the things I already named - terrorism by both Mideast and Western parties alike - which crushes the myth that terrorism originates from a single individual, group, or even country.

Update 5:

Photo description from first link: "An Israeli Border Policeman and a Palestinian scream at each other face to face in the Old City of Jerusalem October 13, 2000 as the Palestinian is refused entry to the al-Aqsa mosque for Friday prayers. Israeli security forces prevented thousands of Palestinians from attending Friday prayers over concern for continued unrest and clashes following the prayers due to the increased tensions and fighting in the West Bank and Gaza Strip." REUTERS/Amit Shabi

New link of the Israeli-Palestinian photo: http://www.archive.worldpressphoto.org/search/layo...

Update 6:

The problem isn't if Al-Asqua is still there or not (for the sake of "democracy" that Israel claims to present..it would be democratic to leave Al-Asqua alone) - the problem is Israelis refusing Palestinians the right to prayer in the mosque, that's a violation of a basic human right, freedom of religion.

    I suppose terrorists help a lot of people. It depends on your viewpoint. If you’re fighting against them or they’re fighting for you.

    Yep Clanger, you’re right. The link doesn’t work but take the squares out of the link and it does. The one below works. The page only takes about a thousand years to load.

    Very interesting, a collection of photographs that show humans at their best.

    Pic 138 of the girl in the red dress is not bad.

    Pic 128, Pic 127, Pic 117, Pic 112, I hope Bliar and Bush have Pics 98, 109, 99 and 105 beside their beds, Pic 76 a bad day for the world, Pic 19 now has three beams of light to signify the building that wasn’t hit by anything but collapsed anyway.

    Description under Pic 119 is wrong. The Brits were attempting to rescue their undercover soldiers who were caught trying to stoke up sectarian violence by shooting on civilians wearing wigs and dressed as Arabs. 7 or 8 Iraqi policemen died as angry Iraqis attacked the police station. That’s how I remember it at the time. Here’s a link showing the Channel 4 News report. The bit you want is at 0:59 min to 3:13 min. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d75_1187557727

    Pic 32 is my favourite.

    Ever heard of the Illumanati? Its a conspiracy, but it may be true, who knows. The Illumanati is a Satanist group, in which the U.S government are now a part of. The conspiracies are that they did 9/11 and other terrorist attacks, to start a war in the middle east, for oil and to kill Muslims. Im not sure if any of this is true, but type into youtube "9/11 Illumanati" and the things you'll see are pretty convincing.
