Tariq Nelson, an active member of the mosque, expressed weariness Friday at trying to explain Aulaqi’s apparent shift from moderate interfaith activist to violent jihadist.
“When you feel like you’ve been continuously embarrassed,” Nelson said, “it’s painful and humiliating.”
“What I resent is the mindset that because this individual is guilty then the rest of us are guilty by association.â€
That’s not a “mindset”, that’s “surveillance” after two 9/11 terrorists also attended there.
Know any churches I can attend in Yemen if I visit there?
“When you feel like you’ve been continuously embarrassed,†Nelson said, “it’s painful and humiliating.â€
The source of this “embarrassment” does not seem to be identified by the article. Rather than “embarrassment”, I think I would instead take issue with the alleged torture of the man by Yemeni authorities. The whole thing is sad all around.
Dear Mr. Nelson:
Want to stop being ’embarrassed?” Return to Christ.
