[history]
Los Angeles -- Adam Gadahn had a decidedly unconventional upbringing, with parents who farmed goats in Riverside County and shunned the conveniences of the late 20th century.
Yet at 17, he seemed to fit the profile of an average American boy. He loved watching television, listened to music his family disapproved of and drove his parents nuts by keeping his room a mess.

Would love it if they caught this thug in Iraq on Sunday or Monday and had proof that his voice matched the one on the tape.

The real story here is that Adam Pearlman is probably Jewish. He rebelled against his hippie parents (sound familiar?) by living with his grandparents and listening to Christian radio. But perhaps that wasn't rebellious enough? So he decided to become an Islamic terrorist.
I wonder how Al Quaeda feels about the Jew in its midst?

Adam Pearlman is just a crazy mixed up Jewish boy who wants to rebel since the parents probably sold their meat to Orthodox Jews as well as Muslims since "kosher" meat is considered "halal".
My brother is glatt kosher and when we went out to eat I noticed that the glatt kosher restaurants we went to had Nation of Islam members as well as Orthodox Jews. Of course, this was a while back (15 years ago or so), and none of the glatt kosher restaurants we go to now have any NOIs.

"'Having been around Muslims in my formative years, I knew well that they were not the bloodthirsty, barbaric terrorists that the news media and the televangelists paint them to be,' the statement said...."Well. He's working to fix that disconnect, isn't he?
To: Pitiricus
His grandfather was Jewish... So he isn't a Jew... If Adolf Hitler would have considered him a Jew, I am sure Osama would as well. I would like to see a picture of him on the net in his bar mitzvah suit!

Well, according to Judaism, he isn't a Jew... Neither his mother nor his grandmother were Jews... This makes him a Goi...

All they have to do is make the threat and try to shake up people enough to drive them away from Bush. Not only won't that work, it's going to lead to the biggest blow-back in history. BUSH LANDSLIDE Kerry will be lucky to carry Mass.

PS If you thought the Globe messing in our politics got citizens cranky, this threat is really going to annoy people.

I am amazed at the number of people here on FR who never heard this kid's name before today.
It's true: Terror Warnings are completely ignored.

Every anti-war protestor I've heard in the past 2 years has been "proPalestinian war against Israel" (including the use of suicide bombers, "the only weapons they have (sob, cry)...their bodies!")

I am not talking about what the Torah considers a Jew, I am talking about what Al Quaeda considers a Jew. Remember Daniel Pearl had to say that his father was a Jew -- the butchers did not care that Judaism considers matrilineal descent to be determinative, especially given Islam's views on women. If Adam Pearlman's father was born Jewish, he's a Jew, and by extension so is Adam himself.
I am transfixed by this because I recall as a young girl that a Ku Klux Klan member was revealed by the press to have been born Jewish and he committed suicide as a result of the "outing." I can only hope of a similar result in the case at point.
