He was a potential terrorist
I think it's very important that we remember the US's policy on stuff like this.
"If they're brown, take them down. "
Was his son also brown? Then he needs to be taken down, as he's obviously a terrorist.
The feds also tried to entrap him with prostitution charges. Oh well.
What does that even mean, that he was radicalized? That he denounced the killing of innocents and supported using force to defend yourself, your loved ones, and your property? I do the same. Does that mean I have been radicalized?
They killed his 16 year old son soon after him. Was he radicalized too? When people use this term it sounds too much like an excuse to kill. It is akin to someone becoming insane, like they passed on to a hopeless state and are now too dangerous to tolerate.
The state kills people and then justifies it with whatever they think people will buy. I doubt Awlaki was preaching that Muslims should kill innocents. In fact, the government would probably have paid him to do that.
Edit: spelling error
Can we please not be Islamist apologists in here? Most of this site already reeks of Chomsky dick.
This isn't so much apology for islam as pointing out how US foreign policy is causing it.
What a thoughtful post.
Yeah, the Salon article deserves a more rigorous response.
Then killed his 16 year old son shortly after, because of who his dad was.
EXCLUSIVE: Al Qaeda Leader Dined at the Pentagon Just Months After 9/11
Awlaki, a Yemeni-American who was born in Las Cruces, N.M., was interviewed at least four times by the FBI in the first week after the attacks because of his ties to the three hijackers Nawaf al-Hazmi, Khalid al-Mihdhar and Hani Hanjour. The three hijackers were all onboard Flight 77 that slammed into the Pentagon.
The state never gave evidence that Awlaki was a terrorist.
Obama might actually be worse than Lincoln. Nobody's upset because there hasn't been a civil war on US soil yet.
This simply proves the Breivikist thesis that so called "moderate Muslims" shall nigh always support Islamism when the West threatens Islamic interests.
Which president did he speak to at the Whitehouse? I really wouldn't put it past obama to invite a radical to speak there. I would be surprised if it was bush, then we clearly fucked up. Otherwise, dude was never a moderate.
Seriously ppl? down voting for pointing out the obvious? Iran, Cuba, Obama loves engaging in conversation with people who hate us. He thinks he can figure em out and change there minds about how not evil we are. Why is it so crazy to think he invited a radical to talk to at the whitehouse.
"us"
TIL we shouldn't have Muslims in Christian countries, and since the whole Dhimmi-subjugation thing and Jizya is kind of antithetical to liberty, rights, equity, and other things liberals, libertarians, and most people generally allegedly espouse and value - though I question the extent to which they actually consistently value these things and don't simply value echoing what's popular and status signalling more - then clearly Muslims are fucking horrible people to have in our countries. Likewise, if we are going to take refugees, they should probably be the Levantine and Coptic Christians.
At least then we're talking about sheltering a total diaspora population of, what, around four million Near Eastern Christians? Everyone else can eat a dick (including Africans).
Your whole "post-nationalism" idea isn't edgy, it's not cute, it's not new, it's fucking retarded.
The Christian God has preached as much violence, ignorance, and hatred as any other religious book. Violence isn't exclusive to us "colored folk", "Mohammedans", and "Orientals" despite the narrative you tell yourself.
It seems you only value liberty if it only brings you a less colorful world, and when the state is torn down, I wish you well in your little enclave of WASP purity. Good riddance. Isolate yourself from the international world.
Isolate yourself from the international world.
The world Northern Europeans built and keep running?
You are welcome to your own narrative. I don't feel it necessary to defend anyone.
Let's face it - the "Northern Europeans" seem to have no desire to procreate and they are already dying out. Give it a couple more centuries and there will be none left.
This is where it becomes useful to distinguish between the various Northern Europeans: the East Ango-derived Puritans will experience the brunt of what modernity is going to do, and they deserve it, for they are responsible for modern degeneration.
Even the Spanish let their guard down after kicking out the remnants of the Umayyads over five hundred years ago. The most perceptive of us already realize what a grand fucking mistake this was; everyone else lags behind or simply too afraid to admit it. We were kind once. There won't be a second time.
The most hysterical is that these Muslims, by their own standards, are horrible fucking people (NAP violators, racists, sexists, kid touchers), yet they cuck for them so hard and demand they be allowed in because muh open borders. Or they just ignore what we say, and try to remember what their liberal school teacher told them to make them feel ideogically secure

#Why we should stop waving our dicks around in the middle east
My dick is firmly positioned in my trousers thank you very much. You should be careful about your use of 'our'.
Take your dick out and wave it! You have to. Social contract.
Check mate.
Checks out. User's got an SSN.
True
I position mine with a spring loaded contraption. That way it is always ready for some waving. Dick-in-a-box.

It's not necessarily dick waving. It's the "national security state" that is using force to give resources to their friends. You know... because "economic security" is good for "national security" and all.
You can thank the Dulles brothers and the Bush family.
I agree FAM, it is also dick waving
