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.
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.
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.
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... are there any non-muslim middle or working class people who practice cutting heads after graduating from British universities?
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.
Maybe we failed to address Jihadi John's "legitimate grievances."
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.
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.
