“Jibril is an Arab-American Islamist preacher who has reportedly influenced hundreds of Westerners to fight in the Syrian conflict.”
Why is he operating freely?
An update on this story. “US TERROR LINKS FBI launch probe into Michigan Muslim hate preacher over claims he radicalised London Bridge killer – as family of ex-wife say he beat her and was ‘full of anger and hate,’” by Emma Lake, The Sun, June 10, 2017:
THE FBI have reportedly launched a probe into a Muslim hate preacher in Michigan after claims he radicalised London Bridge killer Khuram Butt.
News of the probe comes after the family of evil Butt’s ex-wife said he used to beat her and was “full of anger and hate”.
Butt reportedly watched hate videos by cleric Ahmad Musa Jibril who has inspired Islamic State fighters and extremists.
A former friend of the ringleader – gunned down by armed cops alongside his two accomplices after the atrocity that claimed eight innocent lives – said he used to be an avid follower of the American preacher, known for his hatred of the West.
The Daily Mail reports that a joint UK-US investigation has been launched to discover if Jibril was involved in planning the van and knife attack.
The family of Butt’s first wife have told the Mail his hate led to the breakdown of the marriage and that she walked out after he hit her.
After last week’s attack it was revealed that preacher Jibril’s online rants were popular with Butt, who is said to have masterminded last weekend’s horror attack in the capital….
A pal claimed he had been radicalised while watching online clips of Jibril’s hardline sermons and said he even contacted the authorities after becoming concerned over his friend’s increasingly extremist views….
Jibril is an Arab-American Islamist preacher who has reportedly influenced hundreds of Westerners to fight in the Syrian conflict.
His alleged call for jihad in 2005 led US federal prosecutors to describe him as a man who “encouraged his students to spread Islam by the sword, to wage a holy war” and “to hate and kill non-Muslims”.
His lectures have been criticised for turning into angry rants about Western crimes against Muslims and he peppered his talk with invectives against Shi’a Muslims and called on God to turn Jewish children into orphans.
From his home in Michigan, the convicted fraudster produces Internet lectures that advocate a Salafist version of Islam that praises jihad, although he doesn’t specifically call upon his followers to join jihadi groups.
He has directly praised Syrian rebels, comparing them to those fighting on behalf of Islam in the religion’s early days.

MICHIGAN RESIDENTS TAKE NOTE: It’s the IDEOLOGY, stupid !!!
This mullah is merely SAYING OUTLOUD what every Muslim is required to believe: to HATE non-Muslim kafirs ‘for the sake of Allah’.
ALL Muslims are VERBAL JIHADISTS who LIE about jihad, conceal jihad and obfuscate about jihad. ALL MUSLIMS SUPPORT JIHAD.
If they cease to support jihad, those Muslims become APOSTATES WHO HAVE EFFECTIVELY LEFT ISLAM.
Muslims who do not support JIHAD WARFARE AGAINST DISBELIEVING KAFIRS will GO TO ISLAMIC HELL. No exceptions.
MICHIGAN RESIDENTS: IT’S THE IDEOLOGY OF JIHAD, STUPID!

Three things.
1. I agree- why is he allowed to spew such hatred? If a Jew or Christian said such things (about Muslims) wouldn’t that be considered ” hate crimes”?
2. IF HE HATES THE WEST, SO MUCH, WHY DOES HE LIVE HERE?
3. He tells others to go to Syria and fight (I wish 287,000 more would do so-men, women and children– join any of the 100+ factions, and get killed–be a blessing for the US & the world)–but he stays in Michigan. Doesn’t he have the courage of his convictions?
Donald R Laster Jr says
He is part of the Islamic Army invading the US and working to destroy the US.
CJ says
They hate the West but they are here as part of hijrah… the Islamic doctrine of immigrating to non Muslim areas to bring them under Islam. Explained very well in a book called Modern Day Trojan Horse.

Remember, islamic hate speech is protected, but anything mildly disparaging against islam is not.

He doesn’t live here because he likes the West or any of her values. He lives here so he can more easily destroy us. We are suicidally foolish to allow him to do so.
Terry says
As others have said (in other JW posts)-if people (including those born in the US, or residing here-legally or otherwise-I will not call them Americans) want to go to Syria & iraq & Afghanistan, etc and fight for ISIS, why don’t we let them. Just, they cannot come back. And they should take their entire (including extended) families with them..
They will not be missed much.
And, if prisoners wish to be released to fight for ISIS, or Al Queida, or any other terrorist organization-same thing-go, and can never come back, and take your family with you. And get killed quickly.
My views.
Let them recruit openly-but once they join, they are in for life ( and may it be short, for them)

The cops in that area– even though they are Christians– protect the muslims, not the anyone else. Muslims are a protected class in Michigan.
Donald R Laster Jr says
People need to wake up to what Islam is – a world wide invasion by a foreign State promoting terror, murder, and destruction of all who will not bow down and be ruled by this foreign State.
davej says
Many wonder why Muslims want to live here if they hate our system so much.
The answer is that they believe it is their religious duty to advance Allah’s rule everywhere in the world and that they will be rewarded for doing so. This is why they will never apologize for or condemn the active jihadists – they know it is all part of the same war.
They also enjoy and chuckle over the generous benefits we offer as we pay them to destroy our society

Spot on, Dave.
Stan Lee says
A case can be made against this bloke who probably believes his recruiting is part of “Freedom of Speech.” He is recruiting for a foreign power (and a known terrorist power } IS does represent itself as a “caliphate” at that. Therefore, it can be known as a power, albeit one which needs to replace the gaps in its ranks.
It is difficult to believe that our FBI has gone so soft that these IMAMS using Michigan as their recruitment HQ can get away with their trickery against American law.

Stan, if someone is inciting violence they are not protected by the First Amendment, nor should they be.
Deborah Sawyer says
Exactly correct & without any doubt.. The quran & Hadith state these exact words, so investigate and do your research, if you dare to learn…Islam & all it supports are demonic trickery against the infidels.. Don’t be a naive sheeple and follow their lies and or stupid and fall for their name calling of Islamophobia and any other way they try to deceive the West…It is all written in the books they folllow!!!

Damn good question.
SK says
“Why is he operating freely?”
He was prohibited from posting on social media in 2015.
Perhaps a better question would be: “Why are his speeches still online?”

Norger says
Just finished Stephen Coughlin’s book “Catastrophic Failure,” which I would highly recommend. He puts a fine point on the Constitutional analysis on the the religious rights of Islam in the US with the following two questions: yes or no, does the First Amendment:
(1) provide the right to kill in furtherance of foreign law in the name of belief? and
(2) allow for the establishment of foreign law as the law of the land in the United States in the furtherance of giving full effect to that faith?
Put more crudely, the question is whether the First Amendment means we are legally obliged commit cultural suicide by Islam, like what is happening in France.
Donald R Laster Jr says
The answer is no. Amendment 1 only applies to Congress and what people need to understand s the difference between a theocracy and a religion.
RationalVoice says
That’s the trouble with written constitutions they are inflexible and often were written hundreds of years ago.The American constitution should be entirely revised for life in the modern age and then revised every 100 years to make it relevant for each age
Britain hasn’t got a written constitution so is not hamstrung in that way.
The legal system should be separate and independent of government as it is in Britain and the Attorney General should not be appointed by the President.
Everyone including the President should be subject to the Law and I think we will soon see problems in this area with the present incumbent in the White House !!!
Donald R Laster Jr says
The problem in the US is not the US Constitution, it is the ignoring of it and the laws that have been passed (those in accordance with the US Constitution). We have a lot of laws that are not in accordance with the US Constitution and have laws that are not being followed. This started with “Progressives”, such as Woodrow Wilson, who operate on the premise of “Supremacy of the State”. Then add in what Mr Obama and his illicit appointees and we have the problems we see today.
