I mean, when you have American journalists, um, and aid workers being, you know, beheaded on camera, Andrew, this is a, a, a...
Peter BergenGUEST
44:51
So it was-- Jim Foley was one of the victims of ISIS, and it was Jihadi John, a British, you know, uh-
Andrew NeilHOST
44:57
Yes
Peter BergenGUEST
44:57
... resident, uh, of course, who orchestrated the murder of J- Jim Foley.
Jake Wallis SimonsHOST
4:37
And even then, even as British, American, and Allied soldiers were fighting and dying, there were people in the West making excuses for the jihadis.
Jake Wallis SimonsHOST
4:47
In 2015, when a British man called Mohammad Emwazi was unmasked as the Islamic State executioner known as Jihadi John, a London Muslim advocacy group called CAGE held a press conference.
Jake Wallis SimonsHOST
4:59
Its research director stood up and famously called Emwazi a beautiful young man, not a murderer, Not a monster, a beautiful young man.

Sympathy for the devil, expressed in plain sight barely 11 years ago, and it's got far worse since.

So I wanna talk to Vito about his mental health, and I wanna remind him that we do not have insurance at the show-
Art BellHOST
5:13
Um, all right.
Art BellHOST
5:14
There is a theory that you might wanna comment on, and that is that we, uh, apparently turned Jihadi John into little pieces with a, with a strike, what was it, twenty-four hours ago.
Art BellHOST
5:29
If, uh, if whoever did this had a cell ready in Paris, uh, do you think it could be a reaction to that?
Richard S. HahnGUEST
5:37
Oh, there's no question that that's certainly one of the, uh, more probable, uh, motives.
Art BellHOST
6:44
Mm-hmm.
Art BellHOST
6:45
Um, if you had to hazard a guess, uh, as to who did this, who would it be?
Richard S. HahnGUEST
6:53
Well, ISIS, of course, is, is probably number one on the list, uh, only because of the mo-motivation factor with Jihadi John now, uh, as you said, in pieces.
Richard S. HahnGUEST
7:03
But that doesn't eliminate Al-Qaeda.
Peter BergenGUEST
25:40
And, you know, we've certainly seen second generation British Muslims adopt the ideology.
Peter BergenGUEST
25:44
You know, I think of Jihadi John who executed, murdered, American journalist, James Foley, uh, at the beginning of the sort of the height of the ISIS who grew up in London.
Peter BergenGUEST
25:57
I think he was from Kuwait originally.
Peter BergenGUEST
25:58
So yeah, these ideas are out there and they're accessible on the internet and people can radicalize.
Art BellHOST
2:08
Why would that be? Well, okay, some good news and mostly bad news.
Art BellHOST
2:16
Good news, I guess, is that the United States claims that we flew a drone in the right place and we killed Jihadi John.
Art BellHOST
2:31
You know, the guy with the British accent cutting off American heads? So they may be picking up pieces of Jihadi John right now.
Art BellHOST
2:43
Or not.
Art BellHOST
2:46
But they think they got him.
