On November 8, 2010, a video featuring Yemeni-American cleric and Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula ideologue Anwar al-Awlaki was released on jihadist forums. During the 23 minute video, al-Awlaki counseled, “do not consult anyone in killing the Americans. Fighting Satan does not require a jurisprudence.” He urged the need to “revive the Jihadist spirit in the Ummah. The danger of the disbelievers will not be eliminated but through that.” Praising Shabaab al-Mujahideen and the Taliban, he said, “Our brothers from the Shabaab al-Mujahideen Movement in Somalia have proven their capability in managing the affairs of the country according to the Islamic Sharia. And [also] the Taliban in Afghanistan are teaching the strongest army in the world—the one our rulers are dependent on to protect them—lessons in resistance and warfare, and every time the Americans come out with a plan, the men of the Taliban foil it.” And he warned, “America and Israel are dominating our Ummah and soon Iran will enter to snatch its share from the pie.“ He asked, “O’ Ulama of the Sunni people: what is your program to face the Shiite expansion, which is taking over the region from Iran to Yemen?”
