On December 24, 2021, a video was uploaded to the As-Sabiqun DC YouTube channel in which American Imam Abdul Alim Musa, the director of Masjid Al-Islam in Washington, D.C., delivered a Friday sermon in a parking lot in which he apologized to the people of Iran, Hizbullah, Palestine, Yemen, Libya, and Iraq for not speaking out "on their behalf" in condemnation of Israel, which he referred to as "the Zionist entity." 

He said that Muslims need to "normalize" sacrifice, and that Muslims have developed a "disease" that makes them sleepy and idle because they have been bitten by the Zionist and American "fly." Imam Musa called on Muslims to stand up to "boss-man," who he said is the Americans, and to the Zionists, who he said control the United States and the world. 

Speaking to his audience and to people as they walked past, Imam Musa called on Muslims to "help" go "in the path of Allah," because it is difficult to raise funds and "prepare [the] Jihad materials" for a "tussle" with the "boss-man" and the Zionists. Citing Quranic verses, he criticized Muslims who "cling heavily to the earth" when they are called upon to "go forth in the cause of Allah."
