No, I don't agree simply because each side can parade out a never-ending stream of critical articles in a similar vein. We all are aware these sorts of things anyway so why waste bytes beating this horse to death?

I don't think most people are aware, ken, because most mainstream publications, among whom the NY Times springs first to mind, have practiced near-total self-censorship regarding the rage, denial, paranoia and violence that spills out of the Arab world daily.

So there is a fine line to walk between reproducing critical articles that merely serve to promote hatred, and those that serve to provide insight into how a not inconsiderable part of the Arab world is thinking.

I will try to avoid those that might do the former as per your instructions, but I remain on the lookout for those that will do the latter.
