Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Awlaki’s al-Qaeda recruitment lectures offered in Google Play store app

Apr 24, 2018 8:00 am By Robert Spencer

Google can’t be blamed. They simply didn’t have the resources to stay on top of this. They were too busy making sure that “Islamophobic” results, i.e., ones that told the truth, didn’t come up when one searched for topics related to Islam and jihad. It requires time and attention to be Sharia-compliant. Priorities, people!

“Al-Qaeda Recruitment Lectures Offered in Google Play Store App,” by Bridget Johnson, PJ Media, April 16, 2018 (thanks to the Geller Report):

An app that has been dowloaded more than a thousand times on Google Play hooks up users with a selection of audio lectures and video addresses from American al-Qaeda recruiter Anwar al-Awlaki.

Al-Awlaki, the New Mexico native who remains a powerful recruitment force spanning terrorist group loyalties, was killed in an airstrike in Yemen in 2011. ISIS fighters frequently quote the leading al-Qaeda member online. Lone jihadists are often found to have consumed al-Awlaki lectures, including 2016 Chelsea bomber Ahmad Khan Rahimi and Abdul Razak Ali Artan, the Ohio State student who rammed pedestrians on campus in 2016.

In a November anti-extremism crackdown, YouTube pulled tens of thousands of videos of al-Awlaki’s myriad sermons and Q&As that had been uploaded to the site. A search on the site now finds al-Awlaki videos that were posted 3 to 4 months ago, after the company’s purge.

The Google Play app titled “Anwar Al Awlaki Lectures” is filed under “entertainment” and rated E for everyone.

The app’s audio selections include “Stop Police Terror,” which was a Friday sermon delivered by al-Awlaki at the East London Masjid on Dec. 26, 2003, “The Experiences and Ultimate End of Those Who Followed and Opposed the Prophet,” “The Quran – The Book Of Tolerance,” “Brutality Towards Muslims,” “Giving and Investing in the Hereafter,” and “It’s a War against Islam.”

It also includes segments from al-Awlaki’s six-hour “Constants on the Path of Jihad” lecture, which has been cited as the jihadist recruitment and incitement material in numerous terrorism cases including the 2007 plot to attack Fort Dix: “Jihad will continue until the Day of Judgment,” “Jihad does not depend on an individual or individuals,” “Jihad is not dependent on a particular land,” “Jihad is not dependent on a battle,” “Victory is not limited to military victory.” The app table of contents leaves out the sixth part of the “Constants” lecture: “Defeat in jihad does not necessarily mean military defeat.”

The al-Awlaki videos include the 2010 interview he gave to al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula’s Al-Malahem Media, in which al-Awlaki praised the Fort Hood operation and called for more attacks on America. “The Americans do not want an Islam that defends the causes of the Islamic nation, or an Islam that calls for jihad, for the implementation of the shari’a… they want an Islam that is American, liberal, democratic, peaceful, and civilized,” he said. An ISIS video is also included in the play list.

The Google Play app was last updated on Dec. 28 though the reviews indicate the app was available dating back to at least January 2017. It has a user rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars.

One reviewer states that he or she has “been waiting ever since Google too [sic] down the anwar al awlaki app, I loved it so much. Alhamdulilah you have this app!!!!”

“Greatest scholar of this generation,” added another….

    You can’t make this up! No one would believe it!

    Personally, I think al-Awlaki lectures should be available far and wide. The Sirah series for example is brilliant for getting an understanding of what Islam truly is, and the threat it represents.

      Unfortunately mostly “true believers” will be the ones using it. Anyone else truly interested in the true nature of Islam is best served by the source materials themselves.

        True, Hugo.

    Awlaki’s sermons were very effective at promoting the classical JIHAD DOCTRINES because they correctly quoted the PRIMARY SOURCE TEXTS OF ISLAM.

    Awlaki’s sermons should be REQUIRED STUDY for all politicians and especially for agents in ALL SECURITY SERVICES.

    ARE YOU JOHNNIES LISTENING? Listen to AWLAKI and LEARN THE JIHAD DOCTRINES! Do it now!

    Long-time Christian publisher Concordia Publishing House of St. Louis, MO, has just been banned from Google Ads because of its apparently-inflammatory “Bible Challenge” in this year’s Vacation Bible School curriculum. I guess it is far more dangerous than this jihadist app on Google Play.

    World according to Google: Islam is pure as the driven snow. There is no hatred in Islam. Islam is not the basis for cruel violence perpetrated on non-Muslims. Muslims in Germany and Sweden are not subjugating German and Swedish women through a violent campaign of rape.
