Who is the serial killer, Mohammed Emwazi? These videos give a bit of insight.<\/p>\n

One point that I think should be made about the last video is that conflating the demonstrations of the early 1970s with ISIS and calling the demonstrators terrorists is absurd. The idea that young people are attracted to ISIS for the same emotional reasons as those that drew young people to the anti-war movement of the 1970s is worth thinking about. I\u2019ve haven\u2019t given it enough thought to have an opinion.<\/p>\n

However, conflating marches, speeches and demonstrations with mass murder and genocide is, to put it kindly, absurd.<\/p>\n
