Anwar al-Awlaki (also spelled Aulaqi) is a Muslim author and public figure who has repeatedly and publicly announced his support of terrorism. Originally trained as a Civil Engineer, he is associated with Iman University, Yemen. Al-Awlaki recently praised the actions of Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, suspect in the Fort Hood shooting.

Biography

His parents are from Yemen, where he lived for eleven years and received the early part of his Islamic education. Awlaki has served as an Imam in Colorado, California, and most recently in the Washington, D.C. area where he headed the Dar al-Hijrah Islamic Centre and was also the Muslim Chaplain at George Washington University. He began serving formally as the imam of the Dar al-Hijrah mosque in January 2001; it was shortly after this that his sermons were attended by three of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers and Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan.

He holds a B.S. in Civil Engineering from Colorado State University, an M.A. in Education Leadership from San Diego State University and was working on a Doctorate degree in Human Resource Development at George Washington University.

On 31 August 2006, Awlaki was detained for questioning by the Yemeni authorities due to what he claimed was a "secret police investigation" over "tribal issues." On 12 December 2007, Awlaki was released by the Yemeni authorities and was reunited with his family.

23 August 2009, Awlaki was banned by local authorities in Kensington and Chelsea, London, from speaking via videolink to a fundraiser for Guantanamo detainees.

Anwar al-Awlaki currently resides in Yemen, and is associated with Iman University.

Controversy

Al-Awlaki has been accused by numerous official and unofficial sources with charges of Islamic fundamentalism and support for terrorism. He is often noted for targeting young U.S.-based Muslims with his lectures. The East London Mosque provoked outrage of Daily Telegraph after hosting a video-teleconference by al-Awlaki, with former Shadow Home Secretary Dominic Grieve expressing concern over al-Awlaki's involvement.

Al-Awlaki's "44 Ways to Support Jihad" is described by NEFA foundation as a pro Al-Qaeda document that incites English speaking Muslims.
