Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

“Jihadi John” believed killed in US drone strike

He lived by the sword, he died by the sword.

Jihadi-John Mohammed Emwazi

“‘Jihadi John’ Believed Killed in US Drone Strike, US Officials Say,” by Brian Ross, James Gordon Meek and Luis Martinez, ABC News, November 12, 2015:

The ISIS terrorist dubbed “Jihadi John”, who oversaw the brutal executions of American and Western hostages, was hit by a U.S. air strike Thursday night and is believed to have been killed, U.S. officials told ABC News.

One official said the jihadist, Mohammed Emwazi, was thought to be hit as he left a building in Raqqa, Syria, and entered a vehicle. The official called it a “flawless” and “clean hit” with no collateral damage and that Emwazi basically “evaporated.”

“U.S. forces conducted an airstrike in Raqqa, Syria, on Nov. 12, 2015 targeting Mohamed Emwazi, also known as ‘Jihadi John,'” Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said.

“Emwazi, a British citizen, participated in the videos showing the murders of U.S. journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, U.S. aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, Japanese journalist Kenji Goto, and a number of other hostages,” Cook said. “We are assessing the results of tonight’s operation and will provide additional information as and where appropriate.”

Diane Foley, the mother of Emwazi’s first victim James Foley, told ABC News Emwazi’s potential death would be “really a small solace to us.”

“This huge effort to go after the this deranged man filled with hate when they can’t make half that effort to save the hostages while these young Americans were still alive,” said Foley, who has been critical of the U.S. government’s hostage policy.

British Prime Minister David Cameron spoke at a press conference early Friday, “We cannot yet be certain if the strike was successful. I’ve always said we would do whatever it takes to track him down, we’ve been working with the United States around the clock.”

He added, “I want to thank the United States, the United Kingdom has no better ally.”…

Yes, it’s great for Obama to have Cameron, who is even more clueless and compromised than he is.

    It figures that this violent murderer for the jihad was killed in violence. For he dealt out violence and death so he therefore received death by violence. As they say “What goes around comes around .” So it all came back on him in the end. For “jihad i John” sowed violence and death. thus he reaped death by violence .As the Bible teaches “Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he reap.” Galatians 6:7. [KJV]

    As long as Musrat vermin are being brainwashed in their local mosques, that they going to be rewarded with virgin boys, girls and herds of sexy female goats for killing infidels, there will be no shortage of Musrat filth ready to replace ” Jahadi John”

      You must admit that it was a good move on Obama’s part. Now the ineffective aircraft sorties can be less of a criticism for a few days. Obama has friends down there who need some freedom.

        Wasn’t he on the ISIS hit list? He was running from ISIS and ISIS got him in the end. Obama found him and killed him.
        Isn’t anyone connecting the dots?

    Emwazi basically “evaporated.”

    Too bad, he should have died a slow painful and psychological death like he loved to inflict.

    I’ve just been watching the coverage of this on Channel 4.

    At first it seemed to be relatively truthful, with various pundits describing him, factually, as the vile murdering scum he was.

    Then there was a dozy reporter who interviewed some of the people who had gone to school with him, and we were treated to a sob story about how he had been bullied at school because he ‘had bad breath’, didn’t have any friends, blah de blah blah, , and these factors resulted in him becoming ‘alienated’, which then resulted in him turning to ‘radicalislam’ because the IS gave him a ‘feeling of acceptance’.

    At that point I became so disgusted I had to switch off.

    OT, but illustrative of the sheer political chicanery of camoron; he’s just given a speech at Wembley, to the crowd welcoming Modi, saying he hoped to see an Indian Prime Minister at No 10. He said, a while ago, he hoped to see a *muslim* PM in the future.

    This repellent excuse for a man will say * anything* if he thinks he’ll get some votes out of it. How I loathe and *despise* him.

      If Cameron thinks a Hindu and a Muslim should be the leader of England and Scotland (both of which are officially Christian and have an established Christian church)…well, he’s a true MORON.

        Mortimer, the CofE and CofS seem bound and determined to turn into the holds of every foul spirit and cages of every hateful and unclean bird (Rev. 18.2) right before our very eyes. They are more interested in affirming homosexuality than affirming that God became man, dwelt among us, and brought us redemption. It seems that those few churches that uphold the Gospel and biblical morality are in the minority and the targets of much ridicule, scorn, pressure, and legal harassment.

      What a load of bull crap. I was bullied in school too, and even beaten up by a group of girls, but so far I haven’t felt the urge to behead anyone.

      Mirren10, I don’t blame you for switching off. Had I watched this report, I would have done the same thing, too. Yes, that sob story, about this evil man’s early life, is a smoke screen and deceitful beyond belief, and does not reveal the whole truth about this man, at all, and why he went on a mass-murdering killing spree. This reporter obviously doesn’t know a *thing* about ‘prophet’ mohammad, the quran and the evil tenets of islam, etc. And what’s also upsetting, is that there are those whom also viewed this same report–that didn’t switch off–but instead devored this sob story as perhaps the answer as to why this evil man was a mass-murderer.

    Diane Foley, the mother of James Foley said: “this deranged man filled with hate”.

    By discounting the SANITY of the JIHADISTS, she shows she still doesn’t understand the JIHAD DOCTRINE. Jihadists ARE sane…there is simply no GOLDEN RULE in Islam.

    Hitler’s executioners were PERFECTLY SANE Germans who were MORALLY perverted by supremacism. Ordinary Germans happily committed atrocities for Hitler.

    Jihadist executioners are PERFECTLY SANE Muslims who are MORALLY perverted by supremacism. Ordinary, sane Muslims happily commit atrocities for Mohammed.

    It is frustrating that even some of the victims of the jihadists (like Diane Foley) REFUSE to learn the doctrines that make ordinary Muslims commit atrocities.

      @ Mortimer

      “It is frustrating that even some of the victims of the jihadists (like Diane Foley) REFUSE to learn the doctrines that make ordinary Muslims commit atrocities.”

      Yes, it is. But I suppose it’s easier for them to think of the people who murdered their loved ones as being “insane” and therefore not entirely responsible for their actions, instead of acknowledging that they may have been perfectly sane, just evil. It’s understandable. But it doesn’t make it any more wrongheaded.

      What’s worse is that people like her aren’t allowed to be criticized because they are legitimate victims.

      I have no problem doing so. Feel free to call me any names you want. I’ve heard them all.

      Because of their history, I sometimes wonder if every one of those people has PTSD and keeps passing it down from one generation to the next. I mean, kids are not born evil. What does it do to them to see people being murdered? After awhile they would become desensitized to it. Cutting off someone’s head, stabbing random people on the street…hey, all in a day’s work. They all need to be medicated and tired up in straight jackets!

    Ace move. Brought a tear to my eye, that it did – may that be the fate of the rest of them.

    Emwazi basically “evaporated.”

    Unlike his victims he felt no dread and suffered nothing, but I bet there’ll be an outbreak of constipation among his buddies.

    Would be surprised if UK complains to US for killing one of its citizens.

    I think the US should do more evaporating exercises, how about on Al Baghdadi?
