#1 "...worried about the increasingly radical nature of their son's philosophy"...you mean the original meaning of Jihad?

#2 ''He tried his best to make his son meet imams and scholars to dissuade him from those views.''

I really tried to get my son to stop drinking - why I took him to every bar in town!

Of course the father lost this argument - the Jihadi 'views' are one of the central themes of Islam. It is islam (which means submission).

#3 Yah, and now he is dead. He got the big pay off in the wages of sin lottery.

The point of the biblical story of the prodigal son, is that were he to turn back to the path of righteousness his father would be encouraged to forgive him and restore him in the family. It is a beautiful illustration of the charity and forgiveness central to christian philosophy.

Oh, wait his dad is not a christian, so that wasn't going to happen. No wonder he chose to hang with his homeys in Camelbutt Yemen and double down on his big bet on jihad rather than go home. Did I mention the wages of sin thing earlier?

#4 ''This is a very dangerous road when you go and kill someone like this,'' Ayeb Suleiman, 25, a medical resident, said. ''He was just an editor. He was just writing.''

Others felt grief for a family who had lost a son.

Not much grief expressed for the Americans killed by those Inspired by Khan. Do tell, how Muslims in America are so integrated and loyal?

#5 He rode with a bad crowd and paid the price.

Anwar al-Awlaki... Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, al-Awlaki is was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen.

I heard an excerpt of al-Whacky's speech on T.V. He was preaching about the wonders of the 72 virgins. The guy was working himself (and his followers) into a lather. Like many narcissists the sound of his own wheels was driving him crazy. Honestly, one ought to question the sanity of those who listen to this silly little man.
