Reply #44: What gave al Awlaki the right to be judge, juror and the ability to

[hue]

delegate others to be executioners of "Westerners and Americans"?

Many of the supposed fundamental Islamic clerics preach jihad against Westerners. As al Awlaki stated:
In a video posted to the internet on November 8, 2010, al-Awlaki called for Muslims around the world to kill Americans “without hesitation”, and overthrow Arab leaders. He said that no fatwa (special clerical ruling) is required to kill Americans: “Don’t consult with anyone in fighting the Americans, fighting the devil doesn’t require consultation or prayers or seeking divine guidance. They are the party of the devils.

Many times al Awlaki called for violence and killings of Americans. In most executions the person calling for the execution (beheading, hanging, electric chair etc.) is not the one doing the killing. Terrorism as well as peace begins in the minds of people. al Awlaki preached to young, vulnerable peeps who were/are susceptible to charismatic leaders. Yet al Awlaki went against the very essence of Islam (which means peace) as he called for the deaths of any Americans. The Qur'an
states that only Allah(swt) holds the keys to life and death. Many times the Qur'an states that only Allah(swt) can judge a person. Hence al Awlaki raised himself up to the level of Allah(swt) in judging others in who should live and who should die. He also called Americans devils which condemns them to hell which is another right of Allah(swt) alone.
In the most essential/basic of ways al Awlaki committed shirk. They distort Islam not just once but uncountable times. What I'm trying to convey here is that Terrorism is NOT the religion of Islam.
Yet the terrorists definitely want their soldiers to think it is. They insist that Islamists' loyalty is with Islam first and foremost. Citizenship of a worldly country is of no consequence or holds no validity for them. The constitution and laws of the US or any other worldly country do not apply to them. Their own version of Sharia law and the world of jihadism is their law!

al Qaeda is not a country. It is a state of mind. It is an extremist cult. They declared war on the USA before we realized what was truly happening. al Qaeda killed many of our
innocents. Some of the clerics or leaders of al Qaeda ordered the killings and others carried the orders out.
The terrorists disenfranchised themselves and they would have no other way. They have stated many times they would "fight to the death". They don't want to be tried in our courts. They are judge, juror and executioner of themselves and those who follow in their violent ways.
al Awlaki knew about the drones. He could have surrendered to go through the legitimate system of justice many times. He knew he was on the hit list. His Father tried to get him off the hit list but the case was thrown out. al Awlaki was an adult responsible for his own legal course.
Do we see the posters here relieved that more will not be inspired and directed by him to kill our soldiers, citizens, and even others who feel the desire to be rewarded in heaven via suicide bombings etc.?
Who is really the initial judge, juror, and executioner here are why isn't this completely obvious to peeps?
