       We now know who Jihadi John is

       It seems he's a well educated man who comes from a family who is
       financially well off.  That kind of puts a dent into the theory
       of your typical jihadist being poor and unemployed looking for
       someone to kill.

       > The "Jihadi John" killer who has featured in several Islamic
       State beheading videos is Mohammed Emwazi, a Briton from a
       middle class family who grew up in London and graduated from
       college with a degree in computer programming, the Washington
       Post newspaper said.
       >
       > In videos released by Islamic State (IS), the masked,
       black-clad militant brandishing a knife and speaking with an
       English accent appears to have carried out the beheadings of
       hostages including Americans and Britons.
       >
       > The Washington Post said Emwazi was believed to have traveled
       to Syria around 2012 and to have later joined IS.
       > "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," the Post said.
       >
       > In each beheading video, he is dressed entirely in black, a
       balaclava covering all but his eyes and the ridge of his nose.
       He wears a holster under his left arm.
       >
       > Hostages gave him the name John as he and other Britons had
       been nicknamed the Beatles, another was dubbed George.

       Bin Laden was also from a well to do family, but they sell their
       brand of disenfranchisement and hate to the lower classes who
       feel disenfranchised and need someone to hate.
       On a related note, I bet if we make Iraq a right-to-work state
       the jobs will come flooding in. :)

       I don't know what JJ's deal is.  I really don't know what Bin
       Laden's beef with the West was either.  I'm not sure it really
       matters. These are the modern-day Hitlers, able to convince
       people with economic and other problems their sad lots in life
       are all due to <insert target group here>
