I think the articles said he was from a well to do family ;not anything about his history. Same as Bin Laden really. Hitler was a disappointed artist before serving in WWI at front for four straight years. I do not know why we in west believe all sociopaths have to be dumb or crazy. Its almost crazy if you look at the reasoning of Hitler by west; homosexual; Child molester, Jewish ancestors; beaten by his father. What I see is a disappoinedt artist who served in WWI front lines. Then blamed a Jewish escape goat and who was brought to power by the terms of the treaty. Many people like that without the capabilities to rise to level in the world today.
Well, it's just hard for some (myself included) to grasp that an educated sane person would actually want to establish a caliphate. What fun is that? Seriously though, as a Westerner, I have to constantly remind myself that they don't think like I do. And, as if butchering people isn't enough, the jerks just destroyed priceless historic artifacts in Mosul.
We've already agreed to finance a training and arming camp for the next set of "rebels" to fight for us against Syria.
Kurds are actually good, secular people. Those "moderates" we plan on training (around 1200) MAY pose an issue but the numbers so low they'll probably all be killed.
Let's prevent future Jihadi John's in America by putting all at-risk fundamentalists on food stamps, give them free college tuition and housing, and let them live in luxury section 8 apartments.
Maybe if they behave we'll let them pray in LA Fitness locker rooms.
But his real name, according to friends and others familiar with his case, is Mohammed Emwazi, a Briton from a well-to-do family who grew up in West London and graduated from college with a degree in computer programming.
I wonder how many muslim students and graduates of American colleges are sleeper jihadists.
So Obama's jobs program would not dissuade this man from joining ISIL?
In times gone by it definitely wouldn't have been considered middle class - it definitely would have been a working class type home. But times have changed and like the US, the middle class has changed. The middle class are in general living more modestly I'd say. Still, this I wouldn't categorise as 'well to do'.
Also bear in mind that although University education is by no means free in the UK, it is a lot cheaper than in the US. It is still state funded to a degree.
So... are there any non-muslim middle or working class people who practice cutting heads after graduating from British universities?
The purposeful ignorance here never ceases to amaze me. Leadership positions are often by educated people. The discussion about jobs is about the masses of people joining up because theres nothing for them.
Hitler....well educated....would have been NOTHING without people following him-and the horrible economy of Germany as he took control helped him immensely. But if we listen to people like many here we'd start executing software engineers.
