"Jihadi John" Identified: You're Now The Hunted
Yes, I'm frustrated as I watch and read about IS terrorists publicly execute Christians and other persons who stand against their ideology of lies and hate. It gives me some small measure of hope and satisfaction that "Jihadi John" has been identified as Londoner Mohammed Emwaziand and his name and pictures are filling the internet. IS uses the internet to spread their propaganda, fear and hate. Turnabout is fair play. I hope this cold, ruthless, hate monger, killer is on the run for his life so he knows how it feels.
Quote:The world knows him as “Jihadi John,” the masked man with a British accent who has beheaded several hostages held by the Islamic State and who taunts audiences in videos circulated widely online.
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. He is believed to have traveled to Syria around 2012 and to have later joined the Islamic State, the group whose barbarity he has come to symbolize.
“I have no doubt that Mohammed is Jihadi John,” said one of Emwazi’s close friends who identified him in an interview with The Washington Post. “He was like a brother to me. . . . I am sure it is him.”
A spokeswoman for the British Embassy in Washington said: “Our prime minister has been clear that we want all those who have committed murder on behalf of ISIL to face justice for the appalling acts carried out. There is an ongoing police investigation into the murder of hostages by ISIL in Syria. It is not appropriate for the government to comment on any part of it while this continues.”
U.S. officials declined to comment for this report.

RE: "Jihadi John" Identified: You're Now The Hunted
I'm a little surprised his family hasn't been targeted. Also surprised since Obama said that terrorists are poor people with no education and no hope. John's family was relatively well off and he has a college education. Could Obama be wrong...

I blame Pittsburgh!
So what's the bet on how long this guy remains alive? 30 day?

Not all of Pittsburgh, I'm sure he only meant The Pirates and Pirates fans.

If they are so sure what they are doing is right, then why do they hide behind masks? Cowards; and really, infidels and non-believers in what they profess.

Radicalized in England. There's no way I believe he was turned by just what he saw on the internet. He must of had some local cleric nudging him along. The cause of the infection is still out there.

We should capture him and auction off the rights to be his executioner. Then give the proceeds to a Middle Eastern Christian victims' fund.

TBH, it was stupid for the Pirates to even address this issue.

Pretty sure this "Jihadi John" is nothing but a coward. I mean, why else hide behind a mask? He'll be dead soon.

Obviously Pittsburgh is the home of terror and the terrorable towel. I've been saying this for decades but no one was listening.
