Not entirely true - you cannot threaten anyone, for which calling for Jihad would violate, so this would not be allowed in the US.

Well... in the US it is perhaps more of a gray issue than in other countries with limited freedom of speech.
In the US, we pretty much do have unlimited freedom of speech... with the only limitations on the speech of private citizens being that the speech itself cannot constitute a criminal act, so nothing that would be conspiracy or menacing.
Basically, anything short of speech that creates a threat to public safety is allowed (the classic example being not to yell "fire" in a public theater)... so nothing you can say would be a crime because of the theme or topic of the speech, but rather the conditions that are or might be caused by the speech itself.
If that makes any sense...
