01 · THE DISPATCH

An imam in Alabama has called on Muslims in the United States to wage jihad and establish Islamic rule, according to posts circulating in Arabic Telegram channels. Imam Ragab Abdel-Moneim of the Islamic Academy of Andalusia in Alabama told his audience that Muslims must be prepared to sacrifice their lives through jihad to establish 'Allah's religion' in America, asserting that 'victory over America is near.'

The remarks were posted on the source that describes itself as covering the Arab world. The channel issued a call for the video to be sent to President Trump. There was no immediate official response from US authorities or the imam's institution.

The Zioneer has previously reported on anti-US and anti-Israel rhetoric from clerics and commentators in the Middle East, though this case involves an imam based on American soil. The context provided by The Zioneer's archive includes similar statements by Iranian clerics and Arab commentators, but this incident is distinct in its geographic setting — inside the US. The authenticity and full context of the video have not been independently verified by The Zioneer.
