In an interview with Fox News on October 1, 2011, Professor Walid Phares commented on the dangers accumulated by al Qaeda leader Anwar al Awlaki regarding the US. "His capacity of connecting with and recruiting American citizens was at the center of his role in the Yemen based al Qaeda. But his most dangerous weapon was the Jihadi ideology which he was able to distill and spread widely online to an American audience of potential Jihadists."
