From NY Daily News:
A CHARISMATIC terror leader linked to the botched Times Square car bomb has placed the Seattle cartoonist who launched “Everybody Draw Muhammed Day” on an execution hit list.(via Cynical-C Blog)
Yemeni-American cleric Anwar al-Awlaki – the radical who has also been cited as inspiring the Fort Hood, Tex., massacre and the plot by two New Jersey men to kill U.S. soldiers – singled out artist Molly Norris as a “prime target,” saying her “proper abode is hellfire.”
FBI officials have notified Norris and warned her they consider it a “very serious threat.”
In an English-language Al Qaeda magazine that calls itself "Inspire," Awlaki damns Norris and eight others for “blasphemous caricatures” of the Prophet Muhammed. The other cartoonists, authors and journalists in Awlaki’s cross hairs are Swedish, Dutch and British citizens.

ReplyDelete<span>So why isn't Anwar al-Awlaki on an "execution hit list?"</span>
ReplyDelete<span>Anwar al-Awlaki is on my execution hit list. He is also on the US list which has raised a bit of an issue has he is an American citizen (born in Las Cruces, New Mexico). He's just a punk with a dangerous pulpit.</span>
