Anwar al-Awlaki: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

During his time in the USA and UK many of his followers and sponsors were closely connected to the International Muslim Brotherhood. Awlaki’s earlier works was more comparable with the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood than with Al-Qaida. Before Awlaki made any clear Al-Qaida statements, he did however show admiration for Sayyid Qutb’s (an originator of the contemporary "anti-Western Jihadist movement") writings who was one of the Intellectual Godfathers of Salafi Jihadism. It is believed, Awlaki became radicalized and identified with the Al-Qaida, while he was imprisoned in Yemen.
