We Radicalized Awlaki?!
IBD Editorials ^ | October 4, 2011 | Editor

War On Terror: As al-Qaida cues up a post-mortem screed by Anwar Awlaki, sympathetic media are doing their own martyring. They claim U.S. warmongering made the terror traitor angry.

This is a pernicious lie, and demonstrably false. And the mainstream media should be ashamed of themselves for breezily corrupting American attitudes about one of the most diabolical figures in the war on terror.

U.S.-born Awlaki was a secret al-Qaida agent all along. He always hated his birthplace. The war didn't push him over the edge. In fact, he helped cause the war as a 9/11 co-conspirator.

Though a CIA drone turned him into human paste last week, Awlaki may have another hate-filled message for his followers. Published in al-Qaida's online organ, the forthcoming piece is titled "Targeting the populations of countries that are at war with the Muslims."

Awlaki's name and "coming soon" appear in white letters over a blurry photograph of the interior of Grand Central Station in New York. Clearly, he had hoped to murder even more fellow Americans.

How could he turn so violently against his own country? CNN and MSNBC say Awlaki was set off by the Afghan and Iraq wars and the post-9/11 FBI crackdown on Muslims at home. They say he was relatively moderate before we "invaded Muslim lands."

Very little is made of the fact that this righteous Islamic martyr was twice arrested in the US for soliciting prostitutes - which means that he spent much of his time and his imam salary trolling the streets for strange. The guy had serious problems from jump street.

Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall Davis, and others radicalized Barack Obama and the media covered it up.

Like most professional criminals start out by stealing candy bars, or so I’ve heard

Obama has concluded that his very white mother was responsible for his rage. The American people elected this crazy mixed up kid to help him find out who he is. But now people like you are trying to confuse him with this Bill Ayers stuff. Keep this up and Obama might have to hang around for four more years.
