Coincidentally, last week we published a research paper warning about Ahmad Musa Jibril, showing how his extremist views and theological legitimation can act as a catalyst—creating moral permission and lowering hesitation among susceptible actors.

Jibril normalizes armed jihad, elevates martyrdom as an ideal, rejects civic participation, prescribes social isolation, and brands the U.S. an enemy of Islam—creating an insulated milieu that lowers the threshold to mobilization.

But the warning isn’t new — Sergio Altuna and Lorenzo Vidino detailed the group's influence in Spain back in 2022. Their findings are more relevant than ever.
