→Controversy: the logo is not supposed to be a flame, it's a drop of water
Al-Jazeera has been accused of expressing open sympathy with those who interpret the [[Islam|Muslim]] concept of [[jihad]] to stand for a physical holy war against anyone and anything non-Muslim. More particularly they have been accused of fomenting extremism among Arab youth and willfully distorting its reporting of terrorist incidents, riots, etc. For example the Al-Jazeera-host Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi has sanctioned the killing of those who leave Islam.<ref>http://frontpagemag.com/2013/frank-crimi/al-jazeera-star-death-to-apostates/</ref>

That their logo consists of the reworking of the Arabic word ''Al-Jazeera'' (the peninsula) into a stylized drawing of a flame, might or might not be significant.
