'British' jihadist who beheaded journalist is Londoner called John

Yes it would. A naturalized citizen is as American as anyone born and raised in these United States and don't let anybody tell you differently. If you go through the process of naturalization you earn the right to call yourself and be called an American. Whether you're born here, elsewhere from US parent(s) or naturalized, you're covered by the very same 14th amendment. The constitution makes no differentiation.

That however, is besides the point. An individual carrying a British passport is British, as stated in the bio page of the passport.

The entire point here is that there are Brits who are douches. This fellow would be one such example. However, that should not cast a shadow over the entire British populace. He is not the only British criminal in the world. Saying he represents British values just because he is British would be as inane as stating he represents the entire religion of Islam just because he says so.

I have met a reasonable number of British Citizens who have naturalised, none who would then describe themselves as Americans. Or who would want to, why would you?

The passport clearly states British Citizen.

Using the term British with out qualification is meaningless, it was not that long ago that much of the world could claim to be British (subjects).

Why don't you Brits take it to some immigration forum to discuss.

We are here to talk about Jihad. If Jihad translates to holly war does that mean Jidung translates to holly shlt?

It was not long ago that the Earth was flat.

I do not have an accent, some do.

A Londoner, named John?

That must cut the pool of suspects down by at least 25% of the total population.

Mohammed is now the most popular boy's name.

Maybe now, but I don't think James Foley was murdered by a six month old Jihadist.

Hamas and ISIS are two sides of the same Islamic terror coin, yet while the West has rightfully united in condemnation and action against ISIS, it has applied a different standard towards Israel, who has been faced with the incessant terror of Hamas.

A chorus of world leaders, from President Obama, the UN Secretary General and Pope Francis -- have all been rightfully outraged by the barbaric carnage we are witnessing from ISIS in Iraq.

Even other arch-terrorists, like Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, have called ISIS"a monster", while Osama Bin Laden, before he was killed, called for al-Qaeda to sever all ties with ISIS due to the group's "extreme brutality," saying that it could "harm al-Qaeda's reputation."

They have sought to annihilate entire communities of minorities in Iraq, including the ancient Yazidis and Christians. Their tactics and methods have shocked all people with a shred of decency to the very core, including now their gruesome murder and public beheading of American journalist James Foley.

Today, ISIS makes Hezbollah and al Qaeda look like Mother Theresa.

From the use of death squads, beheadings, rape and crucifixions, no one has been spared, especially not women and children. Simply put, their evil and depravity knows no rational bounds.

Calling ISIS a "cancer", President Obama, with the support of other world leaders,instructed U.S. forces to conduct a military operation in order to prevent the "genocide" of the Yazidis and other minorities in Iraq, saying "the United States of America cannot turn a blind eye."

However, in stark contrast, many of these same world leaders effectively question Israel's right to self-defense against Hamas, with President Obama having called for Israel to institute an "immediate and unconditional" cease fire, while at the samehalting weapons sales to Israel, America's key ally in the region, as it faces a renewed bombardment of rockets from Hamas.

So, one begs to ask the question -- what is the difference between Hamas and ISIS?

Both organizations come from the same radical, murderous Islamic roots with a pervasive indifference to human life, freedom and democracy.

Hamas is essentially Israel's ISIS -- but funded by Iran, assembled on the border of the Jewish state and with genocidal intentions of destroying Israel and killing all Jews around the world.

One need only read Hamas' own Charter and observe their methods, including using their own children as human shields, while openly professing to Israel "We desire death as you desire life," to see they are in word and deed made of the same terrorist cloth as ISIS.

Just a few weeks ago, Hamas reiterated again, "Our doctrine in fighting you [the Jews] is that we will totally exterminate you. We will not leave a single one of you alive."

Yet, the double standards that exist between how the West has (rightfully so) approached the terrorist ISIS and Hamas-Israel conflict, is breathtaking.

The UN Human Rights Council for example has recently ordered another one-sided'Fact Finding Mission' against Israel. It would be better served by dropping this anti-Israel witch-hunt and instead focusing on what are the most egregious human rights violations in this region, such as the attempted genocide of Yazidis by ISIS. But don't hold your breath.

Last week, the UN Security Council unanimously adopted a resolution condemning ISIS for "gross, systematic and widespread abuse of human rights," but has yet to call out Hamas for their gross human rights violations, including bombarding innocent Israeli civilians, using Palestinians as human shields, while also persecuting women, gays and Christian minorities in Gaza.

One may also ask where are all those so-called enlightened liberals who continue to call for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against the Jewish State, but are silent in the face of Palestinian terror, or for that matter, the real oppressed people of Iraq?

Hollywood stars Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz signed an open-letter castigating Israel and calling its actions against Hamas in Gaza "genocide." They too have been conspicuously silent as Hamas is firing thousands of rockets against Israeli civilians and an actual genocide is occurring in Iraq.

Every Western leader, including Ban-Ki Moon and President Obama repeatedly call on Israel to exercise more "restraint," to avoid Palestinian civilian casualties. Taking aside for a moment that the Israel Defense Forces go to "unprecedented lengths" to avoid civilian casualties (many of which Hamas intentionally put in harm's way), you will seldom hear a world leader calling on President Obama or the West to exercise 'restraint' against ISIS.

In short, the world seems to have one standard for the West dealing with terror, and a different one when it comes to Israel fighting terror. Is Jewish or Israeli blood really somehow cheaper?

So, the word is Eric Holder intends to launch a criminal investigation to get the responsible rascals who are murdering US citizens, terrorizing their neighbors, and chopping off heads. At the very moment he was planning that activity, Chuck Hagel was saying something completely different.

I didn't post the links to this stuff, because it's in the news no matter where you click. Well, excluding terrorist propaganda and Gee-hod-ee sites that is.

If Hamas and ISIS overran the Jewish state... How many Jewish folks would be alive at the end of the 1st week... 1st day for that matter. ???
