“We target the [Yemeni] soldiers because they are the ones who are protecting the deviant sect of Ismaili’s who worship a god other than Allah and participate in rituals of disbelief.”“Q&A with Shaykh Adil al-Abbab,” Inspire Magazine 4 (2010): 21.

“It is the mujahidin who are fighting America which is supporting Israel and are fighting their way to get through to Israel, and the ones that are standing in the way of the mujahidin and fighting Israel is the Arab states. Allah has blessed the mujahidin from ahl as-sunnah to strike rockets at variant times at Israel under the instruction of Shaykh Usama.”“Q&A with Shaykh Adil al-Abbab,” Inspire Magazine 4 (2010): 22.

“This is why we target the [Yemeni] soldiers of evil... We target them because their eyes are awake guarding the rule that is the reason behind the violation of the rights of Allah and the rights of the creation. They are the eyes that guard the laws that compete with the laws of Allah and go against the rule of Qur'an. They are the ones guarding the places of disbelief such as the parliament... [The rulers of the Arabian Peninsula] are ruling with laws other than shari'ah and accepting the laws of the disbelievers and changing the laws of Allah and therefore they should be fought against along with their soldiers who are defending them and fighting for them.”“Q&A with Shaykh Adil al-Abbab,” Inspire Magazine 4 (2010): 21.

“In the case of the United States, both the government and private citizens should be targeted. America and Americans are the Imam’s of kufr in this day and age. The American people who vote for war mongering governments are intent on no good. Anyone who inflicts harm on them in any form is doing a favor to the ummah.” Anwar al-Awlaki, “The Ruling on Dispossessing the Disbelievers wealth in Dar al-Harb,” Inspire Magazine 4 (2010): 59

"The Jews and the Christians have attacked the Muslim nation in order to suppress their identity, uproot them, violate their honor and steal their wealth. When the Muslims stood up to defend themselves, to protect their holy places, and to establish the rule of Allah on land, the armies of tyrants fought against them in the name of the war on terror which is in reality a war on Islam. So can one say that these armies cannot be targeted?""Q&A with Shaykh Adil al-Abbab," Inspire Magazine 4 (2010): 21.

“[T]here is a small band of mujahidin who are putting the nose of America in the dirt even though they do not possess the means that are available to the traitor governments. Dear Muslim hasten to join the ranks of the mujahidin or to form cells to perform operations against the disbelievers in their own land. We are paying back America for only a small portion of what they do to our nation (sic).”Ibrahim al-Banna, “Tawaghit Exposed,” Inspire Magazine 3 (2010): 11.

“The operation of the explosive packages which was performed by the mujahidin of the Arabian Peninsula against the companies of air freight belonging to the disbelieving nations is our right... It is a response to the continuous support to the usurping Jews who are invading Jerusalem and are blockading Gaza.”Ibrahim al-Banna, “Tawaghit Exposed,” Inspire Magazine 3 (2010): 10.

“The motto of every honorable one should remain that Israel must be eliminated from life.”Fares Akram, “Gaza: Palestinian Islamic Jihad Vows Resistance,” New York Times, October 29, 2010, http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/30/world/middleeast/30briefs-GAZA.html.

“We pledge to wage jihad for the rest of our lives until either we implant Islam all over the world or meet our Lord as bearers of Islam.”Samir Khan, “I Am Proud to Be a Traitor to America,” Inspire Magazine 2 (2010): 49.

“After my faith took a 180-degree turn, I knew I could no longer reside in America as a compliant citizen. My beliefs had turned me into a rebel of Washington’s imperialism. My faith and convictions gave me strength to lambast the greatest tyrant of our time. It angered and frustrated them, while it left me in a state of peace and joy… Islam requires its domination and after eighty plus years of living in a post-Caliphate world, I would think that it's about time Muslims came together to tear down the obstacles. The most important of these obstacles today is obviously America.”Samir Khan, “I Am Proud to Be a Traitor to America,” Inspire Magazine 2 (2010): 46-49.
