A Muslim Brotherhood propagandist based in New York City has called for jihad both in the United States and internationally.
Bahgat Saber, a member of the Muslim Brotherhood, operates from his New York apartment and often streams live videos from Times Square. During his multi-hour videos, Saber routinely incites terrorism, assassinations, kidnapping and torture in an extremely graphic manner. The calls for violence in his videos are viewed by millions of people across the world.
In October, when Saber called for bloodshed, he used a code-phrase employed by al-Qaeda to activate their terrorist cells for open warfare. In a video titled, “Ride, O horses of Allah.” Saber started his video with, “We are working in the upcoming phase on Ride, O horses of Allah” — which is al-Qaeda’s call for activating terrorism.
Usually Saber incites terrorism against Egypt, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates; this time, he specified targeting opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood’s Islamist project anywhere in the world.

The code-phrase first appeared in 2005 in the leaked diary of al-Qaeda’s former chief scholar, Abu Anas al-Shami. He wrote that he utilized the historic Islamic statement, “Ride, O horses of Allah, and preach the good news of Paradise,” to call for jihadist action, and that the phrase “had the effect of a thunder bolt, and it became the call for jihad.”
