American-Born Muslim Cleric Calls For Jihad Against U.S.


American-born Muslim cleric Anwar al-Awlaki is calling for jihad against America, claiming “America is evil” in a new audio message obtained by CNN.

“With the American invasion of Iraq and continued U.S. aggression against Muslims, I could not reconcile between living in the U.S and being a Muslim, and I eventually came to the conclusion that jihad against America is binding upon myself just as it is binding on every other Muslim,” he says in the recording that runs more than 12 minutes.

Al-Awlaki is believed to be hiding out in hills of southern Yemen with the protection of his very powerful family tribe.

CNN could not authenticate the recording as being by al-Awlaki, but sources have told CNN that they believe the voice on the recording is him and that the recording is genuine.

Al-Awlaki’s voice in the recording is measured and clear as he takes on the cadence of a preacher. He singles out Muslim Americans for a provocative message:

“To the Muslims in America, I have this to say: How can your conscience allow you to live in peaceful co-existence with a nation that is responsible for the tyranny and crimes committed against your own brother and sisters? How can you have your loyalty to a government that is leading the war against Islam and Muslims?”

  1. To the clinically psychotic and hallucinating American-born cleric, why dont you just tell your fellow mooslims to “get out of America” or call a jihad on them for selling-out and being in America. They did not come here via the Mayflower.

  2. Maybe it’s time to reopen Ellis Island and question all who want to come into U.S.
    Those who fall through..straight into the ocean!!
    Yes, i know he’s American…so with a one way ticket send him out and take away citizenship!
