I guess Mr. Bennett doesn't know that Muslims consider journalism an occupation that no real Muslim should or would do. And even if one did, the ideology forbids a Muslim from revealing anything negative about Islam, no matter how true it is. That goes against Muslim slander "law", where they define slander as anything a person would not want known about him. Slander under their definition is anything that meets that criteria and is true (they use "calumny" if it is also false).
Therefore, you will not get the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth from one, even if you could find any Muslim journalists. You can read all about this and more in Major Stephen Coughlin's doctrine-based threat assessment of Islam. You'll also find in that paper that "jihad" as Muslims understand it is the waging of war to establish Islam in a territory, and that followers consider it not just a religion, but a unified way of life. The paper is well worth a few hours' read. You read that, and you'll definitely understand Islam. And if you're someone who loves freedom and liberty, you'll hate with every fiber of your being just about every aspect of Islam. You can find the paper here:
