#3 They're losing. And they know it.

The tempo of operations has increased recently. In addition, they are dragging ( and losing) the "big names" out more often.

It seems clear to me that they know they have lost the war, are losing the post-war and their general relevance (pardon the term).

#5 Jameel: My name is Jameel Uthmani.

Mohammad: Is your name not Mohammad? That's going to make things confusing around here. Mind if we call you Mohammad?

All: Mohammad, Mohammad, Mohammad, Mohammad, lovely Mohammad, wonderful Mohammad!

Shut up! Bloody muslims!

#7 Yousef is the "Arabized" form of Joseph. Call him Joe.

Yagoub / Yagouv is Jacob. Jake will do.

Mohammad / Mohammed is just Mike, methinks.

Many more examples if you look for the parallels.
