On September 18, 2021, a video was uploaded to a YouTube channel called "Shaikh Jibril" in which Michigan Islamic scholar Sheikh Ahmad Musa Jibril praised Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist who is serving an 86-year prison sentence at Federal Medical Center, Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas for attempted murder of U.S. military personnel and who is known for her post-9/11 affiliation with Al-Qaeda and Islamists. Sheikh Jibril said that in the past, capturing women was considered a declaration of war, and that Muslim leaders would "eradicate towns off the face of the earth" when such a thing happened. He said that Muslims should never abandon their brothers or sisters in a time of need, and that Siddiqui is an "icon for the plight of Muslim women held unjustly in prisons all over the globe." In addition, Sheikh Jibril said that the Islamic justice system is just and moral, while in the American justice system, a jury comprised of "crackheads" and "meth addicts" convicts people. Furthermore, Sheikh Jibril said that U.S. authorities remove Muslim children from their homes in order to turn them into polytheists. The Shaikh Jibril YouTube channel is purportedly managed by Sheikh Jibril's students.
Ahmad Musa Jibril: "A Muslim should never abandon his brother or sister in a time of need.

"This ummah [Islamic nation] was once upon a time the leader of the ummam [nations] in implementing the justice of Allah subhanawatala [the most glorified, the most high] to both Muslims and non-Muslims. When the tables were turned, and they were living under the rule of tawheed [Islamic monotheism], Muslims did not transgress against them, nor did Muslims do to them what they are doing to us today.

"Scenes that used to spark wars have become nothing in the eyes of the ummah today. Just one of the hundreds or one of the thousands of acts of hostility that we see with our own eyes today, especially toward sisters, when they used to – not see them, they did not have internet – when they used to hear of them, they would trigger the most oppressive Muslim ruler to declare war and eradicate towns off the face of the earth. There are historic examples of that. Some leaders may have oppressed their own people – Muslim leaders who oppress their people. But when an outsider took captives, especially when it was women, it was a declaration of war considered more hostile than invading Muslim lands.

"Noble honorable women in captivity would rather their hearts be lifted and snatched from their chests than their niqabs to be forcefully lifted off their faces. In Palestine, in Bilad Al-Sham [i.e., Syria], in Iraq, those in the camps of the Chinese government, and elsewhere. Aafia Siddiqui here, a prime example, and when we say Aafia Siddiqui we do not only mention Aafia Siddiqui for her horrific personal ordeal. Aafia Siddiqui is an icon for the plight of Muslim women unjustly held in prisons all over the globe. Aafia's case is a crime of disgrace for this country and an unmasking of the reality of their injustice system and it will remain so.

"Aafia was convicted by 12 people. In a nutshell, the system of jahiliyyah [ignorance] works like this. They find 12 random crackheads, or biased meth addicts from some alley or slum, and between here and a fairytale story and slumbering and sleeping in the courtroom as they did in my own case, they wake up convicting an innocent women, and then 80 years. Do you know there's volumes on top of volumes on the status and rules and etiquettes and qualifications for a Muslim judge who would stand in such a matter? The qualifications for that position are significant because the lives of innocent people are not a game to us. There are thousands of Aafia's globally but Aafia Siddiqui has become a symbol for the thousands of imprisoned women globally.

"They took her three kids, and as the poet said, it is like a soul separated from the body for a mother. They give two back to the family and they kept or killed one. Her son Suleiman is still missing until today. They take three, give two back. It is some sort of game that they think. Imagine that happening to you. May Allah subhanawatala save you from that. Wallahi [I swear by Allah] I get traumatized every time I hear of a Muslim facing a custody problem where his kids are taken away and I remain ill for days, because they love to take that pure seed of tawheed and transform it into a seed of shirk [polytheism]."
