Anwar al-Awlaki
Anwar al-Awlaki was a Yemeni-American cleric and influential figure in extremist circles, known for his charismatic rhetoric that attracted many young Muslims to radical ideologies, including Al-Qaeda. His speeches and writings, which often framed jihad as a form of self-defense against perceived Western aggression, had a significant impact on a generation of militants, and he became a controversial symbol of how persuasive oratory can lead individuals toward extremism.
