Awlaki sermons are extremely anti-Israel and pro-Jihad.

“Jihad is the greatest deed in Islam and the salvation of the ummah is in practicing it. In
times like these, when Muslim lands are occupied by the kuffar, when the jails of tyrants
are full of Muslim POWs, when the rule of the law of Allah is absent from this world and
when Islam is being attacked in order to uproot it, Jihad becomes obligatory on every
Muslim. Jihad must be practiced by the child even if the parents refuse, by the wife even
if the husband objects and by the one indebt even if the lender disagrees.”
“Dear brothers and sisters the issue is urgent since today our enemy is neither a nation
nor a race. It is a system of kufr with global reach. The kuffar today are conspiring against
us like never before. So could we be heading towards the great battle between the
Romans and the Muslims - Al Malhamah - which the Prophet (saaws) spoke about?” Anwar al-Awlaki.
