excerpt:

American muslims should at least not mourn his passing. The man was a clear and present danger to our muslim community in America, our “public enemy #1″ who labeled all of us “traitors to the Ummah” for our condemnation of violence and terrorism. The burden we have borne because of the actions of those like Hasan who acted on Awlaki’s urging has been a terrible one, and would have continued had Awlaki remained alive.

We should all feel relieved that Alwaki will no longer prey upon us. Does this mean we should celebrate his death? No, we should not celebrate the death of any human being. But as far as Awlaki self-declared himself to be a muslim, the only appropriate response is Inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji’un – to Allah we belong, and to Him is our eventual Return.
What Allah will do to Awlaki is of course up to Him. Allah knows best.
