'American' Muslim Cleric Declares Open Killing Season on Americans

[muman613]

The latest pronouncement from 'Iman' Anwar Al-Awlaki declares that it is required for all muslims to kill Americans because it is a muslims duty to 'kill the devil'. I cannot wait to hear the joyous news of this scumbags imminent death. I pray to Hashem that he is not immediately killed, instead he suffers a slow and painful death. I hope that his body is identifiable so that we can see his ugly face dead.

Al-Awlaki is the spiritual leader of several of the most recent terrorists, including the 9/11 terrorists themselves. The wrath of Hashem should rain down like sulfur on his head, burning his beard on his chin and the eyes in his head. Think of all the people killed as a result of his wicked tongue. Who will not sing joyously when this monster of the spiritual realm is removed from the world? Al-Amaleki is the representative of the dark side, the sitra achra, and the eternal enemy of the Jewish nation.

Radical Yemen Cleric: No Fatwa Needed to Kill Americans

Even though he is an American, a radical U.S.-born cleric says Muslims should not hesitate to kill Americans, arguing that no religious rulings are needed "to fight the devil."  Anwar al-Awlaki, wanted by both the United States and Yemen, where he is based, made the appeal in an Internet video released Monday. 

In a wide-ranging 23-minute talk, the al-Qaida-linked cleric condemned Iran, Israel and the leaders of Arab nations.  He went further in regard to the people of the United States.   

The American-born Awlaki told his followers that they do not need to consult with anyone before killing Americans.  He said for Muslims it is a question of "us or them."

Awlaki is wanted by both the U.S. and Yemen for his suspected role in terrorist attacks, including the attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner late last year.  He is also believed to have acted as an advisor to  the suspect in a deadly shooting spree at a U.S. military base in Texas and the killing of a Frenchman in Yemen earlier this year. 

U.S. authorities believe he is an active member of the Yemen-based al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula.

The video message, parts of which were released last month, come days after the terrorist organization claimed responsibility for attempting to send bombs in air cargo to the United States.  The packages were intercepted by authorities tipped off by Saudi intelligence.   The terrorist group has also claimed responsibility for attacks that killed Yemeni civilians.

In the video, Awlaki also condemns Arab leaders as corrupt, including those in Yemen.

Political analyst Stephen Steinbeiser says many Yemenis, and others in the region, side with Americans against terrorists.  But the resident director of the American Institute for Yemeni Studies says the cleric may be trying to attract followers beyond his regular jihadist sympathizers.

"I think he is reaching for a broader audience and I think that when Yemenis begin to feel that someone like al-Awlaki is singling out corrupt leaders, then it becomes a much more appealing message and they many begin to listen to other types of things he is saying," said Steinbeiser.

But such a move could strengthen the resolve of the Yemeni government in hunting him down.  The Sana'a-based Steinbeiser says many in Yemen believe the government knows where al-Awlaki is hiding or at least the general locale.  But he notes officials may be hindered by the fact the al-Awlaki family is very powerful in the clan- and tribe-dominated country.   

"There are potential repercussions politically, and potential violent repercussions if they go after al-Awlaki [as] the U.S. would like.  So the Yemeni government has to walk a bit of a fine line," Steinbeiser said. "At the same time, I think they realize that he is an increasing threat and certainly with this latest message, it shows he is not afraid of the threats made against him, and he seems to want to escalate the situation."

The Yemeni government has pledged to help the United States in tracking al-Awlaki down, and last week put him on trial in absentia for incitement and plotting to kill foreigners.

The United States is believed to have already put al-Awlaki on a special list of Americans who security forces are authorized to capture dead or alive.
 

GIVING ISLAM THE SHAFT

For some perspective, from the wiki page:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anwar_al-Awlaki

Anwar al-Awlaki (also spelled Aulaqi; Arabic: أنور العولقي‎ Anwar al-‘Awlaqī; born April 22, 1971 (1971-04-22) (age 39) in Las Cruces, New Mexico) is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen, and of Yemeni descent.[9] He is an Islamic lecturer, spiritual leader, and former imam who has purportedly inspired Islamic terrorists against the West and, according to U.S. government officials, also become “operational” as a senior talent recruiter, motivator, and participant in planning and training "for al-Qaeda and all of its franchises".[3][7][10][11][12][13] The U.S. Under Secretary of the Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence warned that al-Awlaki "is extraordinarily dangerous, committed to carrying out deadly attacks on Americans and others worldwide".[6] With a blog, a Facebook page, and many YouTube videos, he has been described as the "bin Laden of the Internet".[14][15]

Al-Awlaki's sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers. He reportedly met privately with at least two of them in San Diego, and one moved from there to Falls Church, Virginia, as al-Awlaki moved.[16][17] Investigators suspect al-Awlaki may have known about the 9/11 attacks in advance.[16] In 2009, unnamed U.S. officials said he was promoted to the rank of "regional commander" within al-Qaeda.[4][18]

His sermons were also attended by accused Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan. In addition, U.S. intelligence intercepted at least 18 emails between Hasan and al-Awlaki from December 2008 to June 2009, including one in which Hasan wrote: "I can't wait to join you [in the afterlife]."[19][20] After the Fort Hood shooting, al-Awlaki praised Hasan's actions.[21][22] In addition, "Christmas Day bomber" Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab said al-Awlaki was one of his al-Qaeda trainers, meeting with him and involved in planning or preparing the attack, and provided religious justification for it, according to unnamed U.S. intelligence officials.[23][24][25] In March 2010, al‑Awlaki said in a videotape delivered to CNN that jihad against America was binding upon himself and every other able Muslim.[26][27]
