Khashoggi's ties to extremists face new attention as D.C. renames street after him

Very recommendable!

Is this another story about a carefully crafted narrative about a martyr, who in fact was anything but innocent?

Sure, the alleged murder of Mr. Kashoggi inside the embassy of Saudi Arabia in Turkey should never habe been committed. However, there might still be important unknown facts about this case we may learn as time passes. Even a suicide or natural death inside the embassy cannot be completely ruled out!
Which government in their right mind would actually kill a citizen in their embassy? How stupid is that! It raises some doubts.

If Mr. Kashoggi was indeed e.g. a strong supporter and fan of Osama bin Laden and Islamists, then the naming of a street in Washington DC after him is a serious insult to all Americans who were killed on 9/11/2001. It is also a very naive and infantile act to put this street sign in front of the embassy of Saudi Arabia!

"... Beyond the image of a martyred journalist who died defending democratic values, however, critics argue there is another side to Khashoggi's story that has received less attention — one that reveals a political operative who rubbed elbows with extremists and held anti-Western views. ...
Shideler was alluding to the fact that Khashoggi was a close friend of bin Laden, and said that he cried when the al Qaeda leader was confirmed dead in May 2011. ...
"[Osama bin Laden] had a sentiment of Muslims, a concept of jihad, and of being close to God," Khashoggi said in a 2005 interview.

As a young man in the 1970s, Khashoggi joined the Muslim Brotherhood, which analysts describe as an Islamist group that seeks to rid the Islamic world of Western influence.

Khashoggi defended the Brotherhood through his media platforms right up to his death and promoted Yusuf al-Qaradawi, a spiritual leader of the transnational organization, as an example of a scholar who should be credited for introducing the term "moderate Islam." ...
Khashoggi sent out several antisemitic tweets in the years before his death and often expressed support for an armed "struggle" against Israel. ...

For years, Khashoggi was a regime insider who was close to elements of the Saudi royal family as he rose up the media ranks in Saudi Arabia. He was selected to be longtime Saudi intelligence chief Prince Turki bin Faisal's adviser and media spokesman when bin Faisal became ambassador to London and then Washington from 2003 to 2006.

However, Khashoggi later left Saudi Arabia in 2017 for the U.S. and went into self-imposed exile. Reaboi said Khashoggi "seemed to fall out of favor with the Saudi government" as bin Salman, an anti-Islamist who wanted to impose sweeping reforms and stamp out the Muslim Brotherhood, ascended to power."
