Yousef al-Khattab created Revolution Muslim (RM) in 2007 to promote the ideas of Abdullah al-Faisal, a Jamaica-born Muslim preacher who served four years in a British prison for urging his followers to kill non-Muslims, including Americans, Hindus and Jews. Al-Faisal was deported from Britain to Jamaica in 2007.  

In 2008, NYPD Deputy Commissioner for Intelligence David Cohen said that al-Faisal was "the Caribbean equivalent of the Blind Sheikh" in reference to Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman, the Egyptian cleric serving a life sentence for conspiracy to blow up New York landmarks in 1993.

According to the RM Web site, one of the group's missions is to "support the dawa [propagation of faith] of our beloved Sheikh Abdullah al-Faisal." In addition to being listed on the RM Web site as the group's "imam and spiritual advisor," al-Faisal appears to communicate with the group. An apparent letter from al-Faisal to al-Khattab on the RM Web site preaches a complete rejection of democracy and modern economics as a condition to being a Muslim. In addition, RM posts recordings of al-Faisal to its Web site and distributes CDs of his speeches on Fridays at locations throughout New York City. 

Al-Khattab and his followers seek to bring about a global Islamic government that will abolish all other forms of governance, including "the dismantlement of western, secular dominance across the world," according to its Web site. This global Islamic movement will be achieved through propagation of the faith, or dawa, and through violence. According to By All Means Necessary, a pamphlet written by RM's spokesperson Younes Abdullah Muhammad, "preaching alone could never have achieved the fruit of the effort of a single day," a reference to the September 11 terrorist attacks.

During an impromptu January 23, 2009, speech that Abdullah Muhammad gave while manning RM's information table, which was set up on a midtown Manhattan street, he stated that the September 11 attacks were directed at legitimate "military targets" and explained that the World Trade Center was the "home of the economic power house that has kept the Muslims enslaved since the end of World War Two." In By All Means Necessary, Abdullah Muhammad also explained that the 2002 bombing of a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia, was justified because it was directed at "western tourists" engaged in "immoral acts."

RM's messages often condemn Jews, especially orthodox Jewry, reflecting al-Khattab's personal rejection of the religious Jewish practice he first embraced as a young man. While al-Khattab has claimed his hatred is directed not simply at Jews but at the Jewish religion, which he terms the "Rabbinical racist cult," RM holds an extremely anti-Semitic and conspiratorial world view.

For example, RM explicitly calls for genocide against Jews in Israel. One of the signs its members often display during anti-Israel rallies reads: "God will send the mushroom cloud over Israel." In a 2006 interview in Jerusalem, al-Khattab stated: "We want non-Muslims off the lands of Muhammad, all the lands of Muhammad, we want the kuffar [non-believers] out of them." The group has also posted several videos online that show its leaders display jovial reactions to terrorist attacks in Israel and mock the victims.

In June 2008, members taunted marchers at the Israel Day Parade in New York with obscenities such as: "control the animal population, reopen Auschwitz…sanitize the Zionists…get the ovens burning."  Al-Khattab once signed a comment to an RM forum with the German words "Arbeit Macht Frei," the infamous Nazi slogan displayed on the entrance to the concentration camp in Auschwitz.
