Ahmed Musa Jibril

Ahmad Musa Jibril (alt. Jebril, born 1972), also known as Abu Khaled, is a Palestinian-American Islamic radical preacher, cleric, and imam. he promotes Salafist militant Islamism, and has extensively preached about the Syrian Civil War in highly emotive pro-Sunni terms. He subsequently received from a law school in Michigan a JD and LLM. in which he "encouraged his students to spread Islam by the sword, to wage a holy war [and] to hate and kill non-Muslims".

The day after a November 13, 1995 bomb attack that killed six people, including four Americans, in Riyadh, Jibril, using a phone line subscribed under the alias Thomas Saad, sent a fax to CNN saying that its purpose was to "kick the Jews and Christians out of the Arabian Peninsula" as commanded by Muhammad. It closed, "There will be a series of bombings that will follow no matter how many lives of ours are taken or how many bodies are in prison. This is the precise reason why we chose the building we chose." However, the government found no evidence that Jibril was connected to the actual bombing beyond sending a fax, and did not prosecute him, though it later made reference to the fax in a 2005 supplemental sentencing memorandum for the 2003-5 criminal trial.

Conviction and imprisonment In 2004, Jibril and his father were together tried in Detroit for a total of 42 criminal charges, of the crimes; conspiracy, bank fraud, wire fraud, money laundering, failure to file income tax returns and felon-in-possession of firearms and ammunition. Jibril's Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator number was 31943–039. He is reportedly on the FBI's watch list. In June 2014 he had his Internet access restricted for a probation violation. These restrictions expired in March 2015. Between June 2014 and June 2017, Jibril is not known to have accessed his primary Facebook account.

Scholars at King's College London describe him as a non-conventional proselytiser, who "does not openly incite his followers to violence" and "adopts the role of a cheerleader: supporting the principles of armed opposition to Assad, often in highly emotive terms, while employing extremely charged religious or sectarian idioms. The general demeanour of his posturing towards the West is confrontational and distrusting, fuelling the perception of a Western conspiracy against both Islam and Muslims." Elfgeeh later earned 22 years in prison for his troubles, which included efforts to recruit jihadists on Twitter, WhatsApp and on 23 distinct Facebook accounts.

In May 2016, the Australian Attorney-General disclosed as part of a terrorist conspiracy trial that a "self-styled Facebook preacher" used that medium to spread an "order to hate all non-Muslims", and that on his FB page were interspersed video calls to jihad by Ahmad Musa Jibril.

The Attorney-General for India listed in August 2016 Jibril as one of 14 individual disseminators of ISIS propaganda in the trial of Mohammad Farhan. It was written in the charge sheet that: YouTube has stated that most of Jibril's videos are religious sermons Conservative columnist Michelle Malkin said "One of the many maddening takeaways from the London Bridge jihad attack is this: If you post videos on YouTube radicalizing Muslim viewers to kill innocent people, YouTube will leave you alone. But if you post a video on YouTube honoring innocent people murdered by barbaric jihadists, your video will get banned." and that "The enlightened peace-and-love progressives of Silicon Valley don't just have egg on their faces. They have blood on their hands."

Advertisers on YouTube have objected to having their ads alongside alleged hate videos, including Jibril.

On 18 June 2017, responding to criticism, YouTube announced a new policy under which extremist videos, such as Jibril's, while not removed from the site would be difficult to find, with warning labels, and without user endorsements, comments, nor advertising.
