Exclusive: CBN News Investigation Reveals DC-Area Islamic Store Selling Recordings by Al Qaeda Cleric Anwar al-Awlaki

Anwar al-Awlaki released a videotape on May 23rd calling for the murder of American civilians.

The Al Qaeda cleric was in contact with the Ft. Hood shooter and the Christmas Day Underwear Bomber—not to mention two of the 9/11 hijackers. 

Yet in the sleepy Washington, DC suburb of Falls Church, VA--where he once served as imam of a large mosque before fleeing to Yemen--Awlaki is still very popular.

So popular, in fact, that the largest Islamic supermarket in the DC area—called Halalco—had been openly displaying and selling CDs and DVD’s by Awlaki until very recently.

In an exclusive investigation—conducted just one day after Awlaki’s tape calling for the killing of US civilians was released—CBN News obtained footage of an entire display of Awlaki materials at Halalco.

We secured an exclusive on-camera interview with the store’s owner, who removed the Al-Awlaki materials after we confronted management.

But Awlaki was just the tip of the iceberg at Halalco. We purchased other books, CD’s and DVD’s by radical Islamic figures, not to mention anti-Semitic publications, including The Protocols of Zion.

Bottom line: is Halalco serving as a gateway to radicalism, just minutes from our nation’s capital?
