No biggie.<\/p>\n

I ran across an al-Awlaki<\/strong> video today where the sheikh talks about the Mahdi<\/strong>, which as you may know is a topic of interest to me. So I was checking to see how much I’d written previously about al-Awlaki’s apocalyptic views, and a quick search brought me to the End of Time \/ New Beginning CD set<\/a> I’d expressed a wish for earlier, and I remembered that back then when I first ran across it, it was unavailable… <\/p>\n

In any case, that little memory jog sent me back to see whether that particular item had been restocked<\/a>, and apparently no it hasn’t, but I thought I’d better check on eBay in case they might have a copy, and typed up those keywords, “end of time new beginning”…<\/p>\n

and up came a book by Alfred McBride<\/strong><\/a>, a Catholic priest of the Praemonstratensian or Norbertine order. So that even the title of the event on which Awlaki’s end times Q & A session was issued was in fact the ripped-off subtitle of a Catholic book published a decade earlier.<\/p>\n

O tempora, o mores!<\/strong><\/em> Young people today! : ) <\/p>\n

In case you want to see what Anwar al-Awlaki had to say about the Mahdi back in his San Diego days, you can find the video here: www.youtube.com\/v\/We91CKWQEgg <\/p>\n

But what I really wanted to talk about is the serious Mahdist streak in the thought and writings of the newly released Abu Musab al-Suri<\/strong><\/a>, okay? Coming up shortly…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
