In a sermon titled "How Islam Confronts the Oppression and Tyranny [against the Muslims]," published Sept. 30, 2010, on the Muslim Brotherhood's website, and translated into English by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Muhammad Badi, who was elected only months ago as the The Supreme Guide of the Muslim Brotherhood, said waging jihad against both Israel and the United States is a commandment of Allah that cannot be disregarded.

Governments trying to stop Muslims from fighting the U.S., he said, "are disregarding Allah's commandment to wage jihad for His sake with [their] money and [their] lives, so that Allah's word will reign supreme" over all non-Muslims.
