"Fighting For God"
Radical, now that's quite emphatic, but it's also a fairly ordinary word. Actually the word itself sounds rather innocent. Radical, as in different to a somewhat extreme degree. And doesn't it also appear in kidspeak? And of course there are other meanings, such as for example what appears below.
We do the word an injustice, yet fail to do justice to the purpose and practise of this atrocity-loving master psychopath. Who, it would appear, has caught the wary eye of the RCMP. Whose senior counter-terrorism officer has publicly mentioned his name as one of "the individuals that are of concern to us". He does concern the American counter-terrorism authorities greatly as well. Linked as he has been to a number of American-born jihadis.
And his name has been published frequently enough as the touch-stone mentor of would-bes and almosts and also shudderingly-successful violent jihadists. From the original 'Toronto 18' to suspected jihadis who have boasted on blog sites that they've been inspired by him, to the 'alleged' Muslim U.S. Army psychologist at Fort Hood who performed his obligations toward Islam by murdering his U.S. colleagues.
The name of this abhorrent al-Qaeda affiliate has, according to Assistant RCMP Commissioner Gilles Michaud, been popping up during investigations of "the individuals that are of concern to us." Too bad for us, and for the Americans that he fled the scene of his early successes in the United States for Yemen from whence he has become unassailable, and from which perch he is free to continue his unbridled calls for pleasing Allah.
However, nyah, nyah! is elocuted in Arabic, he is doing that from Yemen. All the 'radicalized' (Islamist-psycho-tainted-delusional) Canadians of Somalia and Pakistan, Syrian and Palestinian derivation, for example, who have travelled to Somalia and Pakistan for terrorist training appear to have been entertained, impressed and inspired by Al-Awlaki's preaching. The UN lists the man as a leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.
A man with a distinguished career. An Islamist celebrity. Whose spiritual rantings are readily accessible through the auspices of the World Wide Web, which has revolutionized revolutionary guerrilla warfare. Inspiring carnage in God's name. For, as he exults, "We are fighting for God".
God has yet to be heard from. One suspects Him to be hugely offended.
