Anwar al-Awlaki killed in Yemen

[Dagless]

I heard about this on the CBC on my drive home yesterday. They did play an audio clip of him calling to his "fellow muslims" to "stand up and fight" people in the US who are "against us". Not sure if that means violence but it sounds that way and I'd be inclinded to believe it was meant that way. But, I also agree that this is very disturbing that the executed the man without trying to capture him or having any sort of trial. More details may be coming out later?

Can you provide a link for this? Was it in Arabic with translation or in English? Let's assume for a minute he did say this; at worst this would be considered incitement, and may possibly result in jail time if pushed. It is certainly not worth the death penalty; I've seen people say worse stuff on youtube.

oh my God!!! i am so sorry - if he really said that he must have been!

"fellow muslims" to "stand up and fight" people in the US who are "against us".

"Fight in the cause of God those who fight you, but do not transgress limits; for God loves not transgressors. And slay them wherever you catch them, and turn them out from where they have turned you out; for tumult and oppression are worse than fighting... But if they cease, God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful... If they cease, let there be no hostility except to those who practice oppression" (2:190-193).

I don't know what he said but I was giving a worst case scenario that Obama could have used as justification.

i guess it works both ways - dunno why yasir Qadhi still uses "us" when referring to the murderers of Muslims, AND Muslims though........................

i guess he disagrees with bush - making him a terrorist anyways..........


got this from another sister:
If a Muslim leader would say to Obama "We want George W Bush dead or alive", because he killed many innocent muslims.
Do you think he would hand over his brother from another mother??????

First of all, no member has done anything wrong. all the posts have been appropriate.

However, this is a very emotional topic and as such we will have members say things out of feeling and not rationally. To prevent any misuse of this thread and possible misquoting of members I am closing the thread and will be deleting some of the posts that I think will be misunderstood.
