The NEFA Foundation has obtained a transcript of a new communication from Yemeni-American cleric Shaykh Anwar al-Awlaki titled “Western Jihad is Here to Stay.” In the message, al-Awlaki stated, “The Jihad movement has not only survived but is expanding. Isn't it ironic that the two capitals of the war against Islam, Washington D.C. and London have also become among the centers of Western Jihad? Jihad is becoming as American as apple pie and as British as afternoon tea..” He added, “The US has spent billions to protect its airlines but they couldn't prevent Umar Farouk [Abdulmutallab], and the West has been profiling until ‘Jihad Jane’, shattered whatever trust was left in the value of profiling. A blond, blue-eyed, small framed, middle-aged female. It couldn't get any further from your typical ‘terrorist’ profile.”
