Beschreibungen/Notizen
Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born cleric now hiding in Yemen, has combined religious doctrine with colloquial Western references to become the most popular terrorist among Western supporters. By using the Internet to brand himself as a user-friendly personality, al-Awlaki has repackaged al-Qaeda's convoluted and inaccessible message into something that his followers are able to understand and replicate on their own. Terrorism expert Jarret Brachman and the Anti-Defamation League's Alix Levine develop a model for understanding the process of online al-Qaeda mobilization and offer valuable insight on why—and when--this phenomenon becomes an actual security concern.
