SNIPPET: "CAIRO - An American-Yemeni cleric whose Internet sermons are believed to have helped inspire attacks on the U.S. has advocated the killing of American civilians in an al-Qaida video released Sunday.
Anwar al-Awlaki has been singled out by U.S. officials as a key terrorist threat and has been added to the CIA's list of targets for assassination despite his American citizenship. He is of particular concern because he is one of the few English-speaking radical clerics able to explain to young Muslims in America and other Western countries the philosophy of violent jihad.
The U.S.-born al-Awlaki moved to Yemen in 2004..."

GOVERNMENT PAYS MOSQUE IT CONSIDERS RADICAL [CENSUS/GSA lease]
INVESTIGATIVE PROJECT.org - IPT News ^ | May 10, 2010 | n/a
Posted on May 10, 2010 6:37:10 PM PDT by Cindy
SNIPPET: “Federal law enforcement officials call it a front for Hamas terrorists which “has been under numerous investigations for financing and [providing] aid and comfort to bad orgs and members.”
SNIPPET: “In gearing up for the 2010 Census, the General Services Administration (GSA) leased office space throughout the country. One location is a 6,654 square foot section of a two-story building on Edsall Road in Alexandria, Va. owned by the Dar Al-Hijrah mosque. The United States government is spending $582,000, or about $23,000 per month, to lease the space from November 2008 through the end of this year.
SNIPPET: “The GSA helped the Commerce Department find office space for the Census.”
SNIPPET: “Fairfax County property records indicate that Dar Al-Hijrah bought the 40,000-square-foot building in May 2008 for $5.8 million.”
SNIPPET: “It was home to radical cleric Anwar al-Awlaki, today considered the inspiration to Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hassan and Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man who tried to detonate an explosive in his underpants on a flight to Detroit Christmas Day. Reports also indicate that Times Square attempted bomber Faisal Shahzad was inspired in part by Awlawki.
In February, Dar Al-Hijrah hosted a fundraiser for Sabri Benkahla, who is serving a 10-year federal prison sentence after being convicted in 2007 for obstruction of justice, perjury before a grand jury, and making false official statements to the FBI in the course of an investigation into the Virginia Jihad terror cell.”
SNIPPET: “One founder, Ismail Elbarasse, was an assistant to Hamas leader Mousa Abu Marzook.”
SNIPPET: “According to an FBI memorandum, Mohammad al-Hanooti was known publicly as “an active HAMAS supporter, purportedly holding fund-raising activities, as well as supporting visitors to the United States from Israel and Jordan, to speak on behalf of HAMAS.” Al-Hanooti was Dar Al-Hijrah’s imam from 1995-1999.”
SNIPPET: “A former mosque trustee, Abdulhaleem Al-Ashqar, was convicted...”

“Government Outreach with Terror-tied Mosque Continues”
IPT News
May 14, 2010
SNIPPET: “The State Department wants its next wave of diplomats to learn what Muslims in other countries think of America.
To do that, it is sending a class to Anwar al-Awlaki’s former mosque in Falls Church, Va. this Sunday, the Investigative Project on Terrorism has learned.
As we reported Tuesday, federal law enforcement officials view the Dar al-Hijrah mosque as home to Hamas operatives and others linked to terrorist financing and “bad orgs.” In addition, it was home for two years to Awlaki, a charismatic, American-born cleric now living in Yemen. He is considered to have been inspirational to the accused Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan, failed airplane bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab and Times Square bomber Faizal Shahzad. As a result, he may be the only American the CIA is authorized by the President to kill.
Awlaki has been gone for eight years, and mosque leadership publicly disavows him, but Alwaki’s radical preaching was well established during his time there.
The 9/11 Commission Report found that Awlaki knew two of the hijackers and that one, Nawaf al-Hamzi, followed Awlaki from San Diego to Virginia in early 2001, “an appearance that may not have been coincidental.””

“Report Finds Radical Cleric’s Sermons Available to American Inmates”
by IPT News • May 21, 2010 at 5:45 pm
SNIPPET: “Federal inmates throughout the country can go to their prison libraries and hear recorded sermons of the radical American-born Muslim cleric deemed so dangerous that President Barack Obama has authorized killing him. That’s the finding of an FBI report issued among law enforcement officials Friday.”
SNIPPET: “According to a law enforcement source who has seen the report, Bureau of Prisons (BOP) officials found Awlaki tapes in penitentiaries run by the BOP.
It isn’t clear how long those tapes have been on the library shelves. The report did not indicate what action would be taken now that this discovery has been made.
The report seems to validate long-term concerns that prisons and their libraries have served as incubators of radical Islamic activity, and released inmates who have gone on to plot attacks in the United States.”
Yea that pesky Constitution thingy is a real bitch.

Give this guy a break - he is probably just acting out because of his recent break up (with his favorite goat).

He’s obama’s friend.
