The Michigan Jihad: The Case of Ahmad and Musa Jibril
By Evan Kohlmann
A father-son Islamist duo convicted of fraud charges in Michigan have resurfaced in the media, evidently as a result of a 10-page document filed by prosecutors in preparation for an upcoming sentencing hearing. According to that document, the men were encouraging "anti-American training for a holy war." The younger of the two men, Ahmad Jibril, was also accused of operating a particularly militant anti-American Internet website--alsalafyoon.com--that urged visitors to "wage holy war." In an October 2003 article published in Front Page Magazine, I cited several items prominently posted by Jibril on alsalafyoon, including a poem (labeled simply "AL-JIHAD") that read:
"Yes, you're neither Sheikh Osama [Bin Laden] nor Mullah Umar, but don't forget you're a[n] Ummat of fighter Apostle. Why are you waiting go and thrust in the lines of enemies and have them crushed. Hit them on the neck and send them to hell... Give them a knife and a bulletful of gun... Fight, Fight, & Fight, it must be our aim."
