UK: Jihadi ‘Beatles’ admit they beat Western hostages and were ‘jailers’ of aid worker Kayla Mueller

Jul 29, 2020 8:00 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

They have admitted this. There is much more to that they have not yet admitted.

No matter how violent and abusive jihadis are, and how many lives they ruin, they will always find useful idiots to defend them. They have nothing but contempt for Western societies, only valuing them as territories to conquer in the way of Allah. In pursuit of that goal, they cynically manipulate Western laws, as in the case of the Jihadi “Beatles”: in 2018, they accused the British government of breaking the law by removing their British citizenship, despite the fact that they had become enemy combatants against the UK.

“Jihadi ‘Beatles’ Admit Beating Western Hostages, Were Kayla Mueller’s Jailers,” by Victoria Friedman, Breitbart, July 26, 2020:

Two of the four British nationals-turned Islamic State jihadists dubbed ‘The Beatles’ have admitted to beating Western hostages, as well as being jailers of American aid worker Kayla Mueller.

Jihadists Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh, who were captured by Kurdish fighters in 2018 and are being held by the U.S. military in Iraq, had told the BBC two years ago that they had never encountered “foreign non-Muslims” and had never heard of Kayla Mueller, the American foreign aid worker who was kidnapped one day after arriving in Syria.

However, in an interview obtained by NBC News and aired on Thursday, they both admitted to seeing her.

Elsheikh, the son of Sudanese refugees, admitted he and Kotey were “liaisons” for Western hostages, in the demand for ransom money. He told the reporter that he had taken the email address of Mueller’s parents from her so that the terror group could extort £4.55 million.

“I took an email from her. I took an email from her myself,” Elsheikh said. “She was in a large room, it was dark, and she was alone, and … she was very scared.”

Kotey confirmed: “She was in a room by herself that no one would go in.”

The U.S. State Department believes that the now-dead Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi had repeatedly raped the young aid worker, who was in ISIS captivity for 18 months. Islamic State claimed she was killed during a Jordanian airstrike, but her body has never been recovered.

The jihadists also claim that they were not involved in the torture or killing of prisoners, but admitted to violently assaulting them, with Elsheikh telling the interviewer: “I didn’t choke Jim [James Foley].”

He added: “If I choked Jim I would say I choked him. I mean, I’ve — I’ve hit him before. I’ve hit most of the prisoners before.”

Kotey also admitted intentionally hitting a Danish prisoner so hard that it would leave a mark that would be visible in a photograph, sent in a threatening message to the Dane’s family.

The U.S. State Department denies the jihadists’ claims that they were not involved with torture or murdering Western hostages…

    Perhaps Mueller’s family should be invited to visit these two sadistic Muslim animals – after the animals are tied up and left in a “large dark room”.

    These horribly cruel fellows have committee crimes against humanity. They should receive life sentence followed by exile.

      @mortimer, I agree they are horribly cruel, but I think you are too kind in your sentencing recommendation. “Do unto others as they would do unto you.” They would kill you.

      They and their co-conspirators participated in abusing and killing Kayla Mueller and others.

      They would kill me too, in whatever way they consider the worst possible way. Let them drown in pig blood, and let their corpses be fed to wild dogs.

    All the other returning ISIS terrorists should face the courts under anti-terrorism laws. Western countries need to show they are unflinching on terrorism. While awaiting trial some of these evil doers will no doubt flee and find a home in Berzerkistan.

    We need government’s that will execute this filth. Letting them live sends the wrong message. They do not have any human rights, they forsook such when they took up killing or plotting the same. Send the right message, life for life.

    Execution of these criminals against humanity should happen so that they don’t reproduce more like them.
