A 39-minute clip from Project Guiding Light, tied to radical Muslim preacher Ahmad Musa Jibril, has revived outrage after openly celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination and urging replication — a development U.S. officials say prompted visa revocations. The Guiding Light video, titled “The Fate of Charlie Kirk: The Insulter of the Messenger [Prophet Muhammad] and His Ruling According to Islam,” ran on multiple platforms and described moderate Muslim critics as “clowns.”
The narrator urged that “Muslims should be rejoicing and thanking Allah” for Kirk’s death and asserted, “Whoever insults the Prophet or disparages him, whether Muslim or disbeliever, then he is to be killed.” The segment pressed the claim that “What greater enemy to the Sharia [Islamic law] is there than someone who insults the Messenger and by extension Allah?” and later argued, “As Muslims, what should or shouldn’t happen to someone, especially in terms of life and death, is based on the Sharia of Allah alone.”
MEMRI traced the content to Project Guiding Light and linked it to Jibril, who has been tied to extremist circles. Trump administration officials told the Washington Free Beacon they are acting: the State Department revoked visas for at least six foreigners who celebrated the killing online. One senior U.S. official said, “Any individual on a visa is a guest in our country. If he or she chooses to promote violence against Americans, including patriots like Charlie Kirk, then they are no longer welcome here. It’s as simple as that.” A State Department official added, “the United States will no longer welcome aliens who pose a threat to our national security.”
The episode underscores continuing concerns about foreign-linked radical networks spreading violent propaganda on U.S. soil and online.
