Jihadi John Unmasked

jihadi-john-split-without-credit-1-762x428Jihadi_JohnWe finally have a face to go with the name of the infamous Islamic State murderer known as “Jihadi John.” He is Mohammed Emwazi and is shown here in a Pittsburgh Pirates hat from his time at the University of Westminster. He turns out to another militant from a well-off family and someone who seemed successful in society as we have seen in other cases. This will make it easier for the United States which, according to Attorney General Eric Holder, has made capturing or killing Jihadi John a priority.


The 26-year-old now beheads people for not believing in his extreme view of Islam.

When this picture was taken he was completing his Information Systems with Business Management degree at the London’s Cavendish campus.

Cases like Emwazi tend to undermine the image of IS militants as coming from people left without jobs or a future in the West.

  1. “House Democrats said they are whipping against the measure, which could make it difficult for Republicans to win the 218 votes necessary for passage given grumbling from some on the right that the measure would do nothing to attack President Obama’s executive actions on immigration.>

    Meaning: It would have passed if Democrats voted instead of sitting it out.

  3. The House just failed to pass the DHS funding, this with ISIS on the rampage and sending out messages to attack malls in the US. Unbelievable. These fools, the Republicans, should never win another Presidential election again.

  5. Would anyone be surprised if it turns out he was trained by U.S. forces or Mossad? He might be the real deal, but I doubt it.

  6. Now that we know who Jihad John is we should now make his family in the UK suffer with frequent detention and questioning and round the clock surveillance

  8. All I know is this is not mainstream Islam. We have an Islamic Temple in town. We break bread with them. They will not touch you as it is in their religious Orthodoxy not to

  9. I thought a Brit like Prince Harry might step up to plate and get this guy. But his Apache AH-64 career ended.
    On the other hand, PM David Cameron has pledged to use the full force of the British state. I guess that’s one hot potato off Obama’s plate.

    1. Well, Obama has been regularly blasted on this site for bombing US citizens and killing them without trial. I always tell such folks, I will join their chorus when Muslim US students are killed taking Spring Break on the beaches of Afghanistan and Yemen.

  12. The Ying, to the great humanitarian Roberto Clemente’s Yang. You know the Pirates public relations dept. is having a bad day.

  13. Terrorism comes from a sense of privilege. It has little to do with poverty. Terrorists use the alleged grievances of others as cover for their acts of brutality and cruelty. Every time we allow them to claim victimhood we only give them a veneer of legitimacy they do not deserve.

    I can only hope this guy gets everything he deserves and swiftly.

  15. Good thing he is not an American citizen since Prof Turley will be up in arms about Obama bombing him without trial or due process. I assume that any others who are killed while in his presence when he gets droned, will be mourned by all as poor innocents who did not deserve to die. Sorry, but I will be celebrating when I hear this scum is dead. Hopefully, Prof Turley will raise at least a glass to his demise.

  19. “Yeah, uh, duh. Well, you know, like, all we need to fix this problem is a simple three-letter word: jobs, J-O-B-S. It’s so freakin’ simple people, like, you guys are so dumb.”

    – Marie Harf, channeling her inner Joe Biden – probably.

  20. The Obama administration believes (or purports to believe) that with jobs they will become decent people.

    Yeah right.
