The man who lectured the White House on what a "moderate" Muslim was also spoke of global jihad against the infidels. Which message do you think was better received?

Feds: Federal Reserve bomber Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis listened to speeches by Anwar al-Awlaki
Feds: Federal Reserve bomber Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis listened to speeches by Anwar al-AwlakiThe accused terrorist busted for plotting to blow up the Federal Reserve Bank in lower Manhattan was a fan of a fiery Al Qaeda propagandist known for promoting violent jihad, authorities revealed Wednesday.
Authorities seized recordings of speeches by Anwar al-Awlaki from suspected bank bomber Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis, prosecutor James Loonam said.
Al-Awlaki was killed by a U.S. airstrike in Yemen in 2011, but his heated speeches calling for terrorist attacks against Americans live on.
Nafis, 21, a Bangladeshi national living in Queens on a student visa, was arrested by the FBI and NYPD last October in the Millenium Hotel where he was trying to detonate what he thought was a 1,000 pound bomb he had parked at the nearby landmark bank building.
If Nafis goes to trial, the feds plan to call a terrorism expert to testify about the significance of the al-Awlaki recordings in promoting violent jihad.
