Anwar Al-Awlaki, the radical Muslim cleric whose killing was approved by President Barack Obama, used bad language at the president’s address and at the United States military troops in an audio recording posted online.

Together with the audio recording, the site also contains a picture of Al-Awlaki, in a collage with Major Nidal Hassan which is accused of the Ft. Hood shootings and Omar Farouq Abdulmutallab which is accused of the attempted bombing of an American jetliner on 2009 Christmas Day. Awlaki said that America would come to an end because of its pride and wars with countries that have done nothing wrong to them. Although the radical Muslim cleric was born and educated in America he was identified as advising Muslims in the United States to enter the jihad against Americans.

Awlaki said that he could not find peace living in the United States and also being a Muslim and he came to the conclusion that jihad against America is his true calling and should be the calling of every other able Muslim. Awlaki has been a runaway ever since he was linked with both Major Hassan and Abdulmutallab last year. The United States officials declared that the President approved killing Awlaki with a missile strike in the place where he is believed to be hiding, in the Yemen region.
