Islamist extremists 'elated' over Arab unrest April 1, 2011 ANWAR AL-AWLAKI, pictured, the Yemeni-American cleric who is a propagandist for al-Qaeda, said Islamist extremists had gleefully watched the success of protest movements in the Arab world against governments they had long despised. ''The mujahedeen around the world are going through a moment of elation,'' he wrote in the English-language al-Qaeda magazine Inspire, ''and I wonder whether the West is aware of the upsurge of mujahedeen activity in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Yemen, Arabia, Algeria and Morocco?'' A handful of al-Qaeda leaders have made statements countering the common view of Western analysts that the terrorist network looks irrelevant at a time of change unprecedented in the modern Middle East. In ousting the rulers of Tunisia and Egypt and threatening others, secular-leaning protesters have called for democracy and generally avoided violence - at odds with al-Qaeda's creed, aimed at instilling rigid Islamist rule.
