US targeting 'Jihadi John,' senator says
2015-03-03
[ARABNEWS] US forces are targeting the London man believed to be "Jihadi John," an Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
executioner, a senior Democratic senator said.

London graduate Mohammed Emwazi was unmasked by media this week as allegedly the English-speaking executioner responsible for the beheading of at least five Western hostages held by the IS group in Syria and Iraq.

Asked whether the US was "going after" Emwazi specifically, Feinstein responded affirmatively.

"Oh, yes. He's a target. There should be no question about that," the former Senate Intelligence Committee chair told CBS television's "Face the Nation."

The Kuwait-born computer expert, believed to be 26 or 27 years old, appeared for the first time in a video during the execution of American journalist James Foley in 2014.

He presided over numerous killings, and delivered English messages in execution videos.

Feinstein said Emwazi's story of Western disaffection spoke to a "major problem" confronted by Western nations.

"What it tells us is that there are many young people, and you can see this by the number of tweets on Twitter, who are so disaffected," she said.

"Whether they feel rejected socially, whether they feel they don't have an opportunity, whether they feel this country is anti-Moslem, which it is not, I don't know."

#10  See WAFF > "JIHADI JOHN" WAS RADICALIZED BY MI5 | "JIHADI JOHN" ONCE CONDEMNED 9-11, LONDON ATTACKS: RECORDING.

IIUC, "JJ" was an innocent but fervently loyal Muslim until the day an MI5 interrogation went excessively harshly overboard in its questioning of him over a laptop + datums, causing "JJ" to turn fearful + go "rogue"???

#9  If our CIA knew what they were doing they would have already planted rumors of his erectile dysfunction and wetting the bed as the reasons for his joining ISIS.

#7  Wait, I thought jihad meant peaceful, personal inner struggle.

And why give him a Christian name? Is he a Crusader?

Jihadi Mo. Or Jihadi Wazi has a ring. Anyrate, he isn't feeling rejected by society, he is rejecting your society. He found his opportunity - he got a job as the Billy Mays of executions.

#5  #3 Call him the "Meat Maker" rather than a romantic term like "Jihadi John"

Might be fun to insist on calling him, ever so respectfully, by his real name. His actual, factual name. Mohammed. Mohammed the Mohammedan.

#4  ..yeah, but the ROEs are too restrictive (let alone 'mother may I'), so don't expect results for a good time.

#3  Call him the "Meat Maker" rather than a romantic term like "Jihadi John" That's a more appropriate and less attractive name.
