“The entire Western system is staunchly protecting and promoting the defamation of Muhammad and therefore, it is the entire Western system that is at war with Islam. Assassinations, bombings, and acts of arson are all legitimate forms of revenge against a system that relishes the sacrilege of Islam in the name of freedom.”Anwar al-Awlaki, “May Our Souls Be Sacrificed For You!” Inspire Magazine 1 (2010): 27-28

“Allah will give us victory against [the Americans] and what America awaits in the coming days is greater and worse than what has passed by the will of Allah:
Allah says: (Say: “Do you await for us except one of the two best things [i.e., martyrdom or victory] while we await for you that Allah will afflict you with punishment from Himself or at our hands? So wait; indeed we, along with you, are waiting) [at-Taubah: 52]”“Interview with Shaykh Abu Basir: the Head of al-Qa’idah in the Arabian Peninsula,” Inspire Magazine 1 (2010): 13-17.

“All praise due to Allah. America is the one forcing us to target it. These heinous crimes which the human soul rejects such as the cartoons of the Messenger and holding celebrations and awarding those who curse the Prophet require us to target the Americans. In fact they require us to wipe them out of the map completely. America is a cancer that needs to be removed along with the West that is supporting this criminal behavior and are banning the niqab of the chaste and pure Muslim women.”“Interview with Shaykh Abu Basir: the Head of al-Qa’idah in the Arabian Peninsula,” Inspire Magazine 1 (2010): 13-17.

“The pig is the most shameless animal on the face of the Earth. It is the only animal that invites its friends to have sex with its mate. In America, most people consume pork. Many times after dance parties, they have swapping of wives. Many say, ‘You sleep with my wife and I will sleep with your wife.’ If you eat pigs then you behave like pigs.”David Leppard, “Preacher of hate is let into Britain,” Sunday Times (London), May 30, 2010, http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/news/uk_news/National/article303906.ece.

“The European races are barbaric. They wear freshly pressed suits and ties, and they smell of eau de cologne, but deep down, they still have the same barbaric nature known from history. They kill with ease. They murder people without any problem. Therefore, beating women in their homes is of no consequence to the [Europeans] and Americans, whereas in an Islamic environment, it is unimaginable.”“Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei: The European Races Are Barbaric Races,” MEMRI, May 10, 2013, http://www.memritv.org/clip_transcript/en/3844.htm.

“The United States is the best place in the world to live in. But, unfortunately, the gang in the White House sees everything through Israel's eyes, and the government manipulates the people's vision of what is going on outside the country.” Scott Atran and Robert Axelrod, “Interview with Ramadan Shallah, Secretary General, Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” Perspectives on Terrorism, November 29, 2010, http://www.terrorismanalysts.com/pt/index.php/pot/article/view/95.

“The US and Israel heighten Iranophobia to gain the support of Arab regimes, which fear Iran.” Scott Atran and Robert Axelrod, “Interview with Ramadan Shallah, Secretary General, Palestinian Islamic Jihad,” Perspectives on Terrorism, November 29, 2010, http://www.terrorismanalysts.com/pt/index.php/pot/article/view/95.

“The U.S. is leading the war against terrorism, which in reality is a war against Islam. Its army is directly invading two Muslim countries and indirectly occupying the rest through its stooges. The heroic act of brother Nidal also shows the dilemma of the Muslim-American community. Increasingly, they are being cornered into taking stances that would either make them betray Islam or betray their nation.”“The Evolution of a Radical Cleric: Quotes from Anwar Al-Awlaki,” New York Times, May 8, 2010, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/09/world/09quotes.html.

“The American administration's unlimited support to Israel ... places the American administration in the position of the enemy of our nation and our peoples.”Nadim Ladki, “Hezbollah Cuts Islamist Rhetoric in New Manifesto,” Reuters, November 30, 2009, http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/11/30/us-lebanon-hezbollah-idUSTRE5AT3VK20091130.
