“We seek to apply the rule of Qur’an and make the word of Allah supreme over all other, and God willing, we will strive to achieve these goals with all what we possess, and we will fight to the last man against whoever stands in our way.”Anwar al-Awlaki, “Message to the American People,” Global Islamic Media Front, accessed January 28, 2015, https://archive.org/details/AwlakiToUsa.
Extremists: Their Words. Their Actions.
In Their Own Words:
We reiterate once again that the brigades will directly target US bases across the region in case the US enemy commits a folly and decides to strike our resistance fighters and their camps [in Iraq].

I am terribly sad. Throughout my professional and personal life, whenever I was unsure of what to say or think, my friend, the Senator, was always there. He had a unique gift for finding the right words to match any feeling or emotion, often with humor, a smile, and laughter. Now, as I write this without his guidance and kind wisdom, I feel his absence deeply. Having the Senator by my side was one of life's greatest gifts to me, and I know I'm not alone in feeling profoundly touched by him. That was the Senator's great gift—he touched and guided so many of us, either personally or through his example. --Ambassador Mark D. Wallace
