As terrorism in the name of hatred and religion continues throughout the Middle East, one radical Muslim imam is calling for acts of terrorism in the West.

From New York Post. An extremist Michigan cleric whose hate-filled sermons were said to have inspired the London Bridge terrorist attack has called on American Muslims to wage Jihad against the “infidel West” — and blamed the US led by “senile Pharaoh” Biden for what he called a “genocide in Palestine.”

Ahmad Musa Jibril, 51, a radical Islamist preacher who was born in Dearborn, is seen in videos posted on social media arguing that Muslims in the US should turn away from what he described as a watered-down “American-Zionist Islam” that ignores the idea of Jihad.

“Yes, there is holy war in Islam, it is Jihad,” Jibril lectured in one clip posted on X by an account associated with the fanatical imam. …

In Islamic tradition, jihad is generally used to reference a righteous struggle against internal and external obstacles, according to the group Learning for Justice. While it can involve fighting against oppressors, the violent “holy war” perception is largely a misinterpretation perpetuated by extremists. …

Jibril claimed that with the war raging in the Middle East following Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on Israel, now is the time for young people to understand that “the infidel West, particularly the US, are the enemies of Muslims.”

He also suggested that Muslim mothers should “nurse their infants with the love of Jihad and the ambition to become a mujahid and a martyr.”

One of the sickening rants shared on X on Nov. 25, caught the attention of the Middle East Media Research Institute, a Washington, DC-based watchdog.

“The comments are particularly inflammatory at a period where passions are already heightened,” Alberto Fernandez, vice president of the Institute, told The Post Friday, referring to the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

“Rather than downplaying violent interpretations of Jihad, he seeks to heighten them. Rather than downplaying the difference between Muslim and non-Muslim, he seeks to heighten them — actually mocking Muslims who ‘seek to make a suitable Islam, for the kafir’ (meaning infidel West).” …

Fernandez also warned that the war has been acting as an “accelerant” for spreading radical ideas about Islam.

“It accelerates something which is already happening, which is a kind of ideological war which is occurring. So, it drives interest, and it drives people becoming more extreme,” Fernandez said.

It was previously reported that security experts had named Jibril as one of the most influential online recruiters for ISIS at the start of the terrorist group’s ascent nearly a decade ago, according to Newsweek.

Jibril, who preaches an ultra-conservative Salafist version of Islam, had used his platform to call on young people to travel to Syria and join the ranks of ISIS. …

One of the perpetrators of the deadly London Bridge attack in June 2017 was said to have listened to Jibril’s sermons, before he and his two accomplices mowed down pedestrians and then went on a stabbing spree in the heart of the British capital. …
