When Obama leaves Office he will have all of that free time to take him out himself so he can be assured credit for it.

Why is this such a difficult concept for people?
I don't find it difficult at all to understand why while there're hundreds of millions of people living in much deeper poverty than those in the ME, only muslims burn people for fun. It's their cult, stupid.

Sooo being Muslim cost him his job, his fiancee, and more. No wonder he is kinda pissed.
That's his side of the story only.

Maybe there was good reason he was being watched; look at him now.

Shrug. Maybe. I mean...maybe his fiancee left him over his love of goats. But I suspect his "side" as you call it-aka the side being discovered by reporters, and NOT told by him is relevant.

Kinda makes me think of "hey I know I made my neighbors life a living hell, but thats no reason for him to glare at me and hate me!"

That being said...shrug, he is guilty of war crimes, and hopefully he will eat a hellfire missile.

I wonder how many muslim students and graduates of American colleges are sleeper jihadists.
Well he graduated to hacking heads off.

Don't worry, karma is a tough thing to overcome.

Is this a serious question?
The point I'm making is that people are already drawing conclusions based on the statement that the guy came from a 'well to do' family. That may or may not be accurate or even have any relevance. Better to wait until verified information is presented. Many Americans do have a habit of hearing 'London' and making assumptions about people's wealth. I'm not making any judgement myself one way or another, FWIW I'm from a lower working class upbringing myself.
I'm just saying we don't have enough information yet.

I presently have legitimate grievances with Blue Cross/Blue Shield, and also the Internal Revenue Service. So I guess I will band my head in black, grab a machete, and start cutting off heads at the insurance company and the IRS. This guy needs his head cut off, or otherwise killed, the sooner the better.

Midnight basketball and more positive role models would have prevented his turning.

Crutches,

An enough information for what? There are lots of Johnny Jihads out there, over there and down there. The name means nothing, the article was poorly done. I could get a job at the Post, if that is it takes to be a journalist for that paper. He must have have been on the terrorism-radar or they wouldn't have watched him so closely, seems someone was on his back all the time.

I had to stop and think for a minute. Is the article a ruse? Muslims often create news articles and websites to draw foreign empathy, and so I have said enough about Muslims today.
Sorry this Kindle changed the spelling of your name.
