From MEMRI- Michigan Islamic scholar Ahmad Musa Jibril discussed the true meaning of Jihad in a November 25, 2023 video posted on Shaykh Ahmad Musa Jibril on X (formerly known as Twitter). He said that Jihad is the term for "holy war" in Islam. He said that American-Zionists are spreading a version of Islam "that suits the enemies" and that "the one who has been spreading that there is no holy war in Islam, has been defecating heresy out of his mouth for the past 20 years."
According to another video posted on Ilm Cafe, a Telegram channel associated with Jibril, this was referring to American moderate Islamic scholar Hamza Yusuf. Jibril said that Muslims in the West and especially in America must start to normalize talking about Jihad. He added that it is time for mothers to nurse their infants with the love of Jihad and the ambition of becoming a mujahid or a martyr. Jibril said that U.S. President Biden is a "terrorist" and a "senile Pharaoh." He continued to say that the "infidel West" and the U.S. are the vicious enemies of the Muslims. Ahmad Musa Jibril served six and a half years in prison for conspiracy, fraud, money laundering, and possession of firearms and ammunition. He is considered to be the inspiration for several Jihad attacks and initiatives in the West.
