Ahmad Musa Jibril, a radical Islamist preacher from Michigan, wants American Muslims to go on jihad.
“Jihad must be a common, normal term on your tongues, on your social media, and in the mosques and elsewhere,” he said in a video.
And: “If you can’t raise your child telling him you want him to be mujahid and martyr, then you are the root of the problem.”
Sure sounds like incitement to us.
Especially since Jibril, while ranting against Biden, said that the United States “is more to blame for the genocide in Palestine than the occupying Jews.”
The man’s clearly, deliberately painting a target on the backs of Jews and Americans.
But even if his words don’t rise to the level of legal incitement, the man at the very least needs to be deplatformed.
He has no business occupying a position like imam, one totally central to Muslim life; these religious leaders are supposed to dispense wisdom and good guidance.

Not vile hate and calls to violence.
And he does preach direct violence: He’s called for young people to travel to Syria to fight alongside the barbarians of ISIS, and he faxed an ugly fan letter to CNN after a terror bombing in Riyadh in 1995.
Indeed, a perpetrator of the London Bridge 2017 terror attack, which killed eight and injured dozens, reportedly was a listener.
Jibril’s an ex-con, to boot: He was sentenced to six-plus years of hard time for financial and gun crimes.
The real shame here is that he’s an American, from Dearborn.
If we can’t kick him out, let’s at least make sure few people can listen to his trash.
