“I had a job waiting for me and marriage to get started,” he wrote in a
June 2010 e-mail to Qureshi. But now “I feel like a prisoner, only not
in a cage, in London. A person imprisoned & controlled by security
service men, stopping me from living my new life in my birthplace &
country, Kuwait.”
Nearly four months later, when a court in New York sentenced Aafia
Siddiqui, an al-Qaeda operative convicted for the attempted murder of
U.S. personnel in Afghanistan, Emwazi expressed sympathy for her, saying
he had “heard the upsetting news regarding our sister. . . . This
should only keep us firmer towards fighting for freedom and justice!!!”
In the interview, Qureshi said he last heard from Emwazi in January 2012, when Emwazi sent him an e-mail seeking advice."

'Cold, sadistic and merciless': Mohammed Emwazi's journey to jihad
Guardian
By this time, Emwazi was said to be a polite, observant Muslim with a penchant for designer clothes. He was also a member of a loose-knit group of Muslim youths who played five-a-side football together, were educated at the same schools, attended the same mosques, and were all impressed by a particular preacher, Hani al-Sibai.
Of that group, three are now dead, one is living in Sudan after being stripped of his British citizenship, a fourth cannot leave the UK for fear that he too will be deprived of his citizenship, and several are serving prison sentences. .......He was associating with a number of people who were being scrutinised closely by MI5 and Scotland Yard.....
He was Bilal el-Berjawi, who had grown up in North Kensington after his family moved to the UK from Lebanon when he was an infant. In 2011, Berjawi was stripped of his British citizenship after he went to Somalia to join the Islamist group al-Shabaab, apparently gaining a senior position within its ranks. In January 2012, Berjawi was killed in a US drone strike in Somalia.......The following month Mohamed Sakr, who had been Berjawi’s next-door neighbour when they were growing up in London, was also killed in a drone strike in Somalia. Although born in Britain, Sakr’s parents were Egyptian, and the British authorities regarded him as a dual national. Like Berjawi, he had been stripped of his British citizenship shortly before the US drone strike. His parents promptly flew to Cairo and formally renounced their Egyptian citizenship, to prevent their two other sons from being deprived of their British status. ........"

Isis murderer Mohammed Emwazi is Londoner on MI5’s radar since 2009
Guardian
As early as September last year, MI5 and the FBI had identified Emwazi as the masked killer – just a few weeks after US senators passed legislation to authorise a $10m (£6.2m) reward for information that would aid the arrest and conviction of the masked militant.
However security agencies did not make his name public mainly because of fears about the impact his identification might have on hostages being held by Islamic State. A secondary reason was concern over the safety of Emwazi’s family in the UK, in case of retaliation.
According to people who have moved in jihadi circles in west London, Emwazi began to be noticed about five or six years ago. “That’s when he emerged, so to speak,” said one. "

Australia announces it will strip jihadists of their citizenship, stop their benefits and prevent them from travelling abroad
Daily Mail
- Many Australians who fight for the Islamic State will be stripped of their citizenship, PM says
- More than 30 Australians have returned home after fighting for jihadist causes overseas, review reveals
- Dual nationals will be stripped of their citizenship, Mr Abbott said in a landmark national security address
Wake up Sweden - Canada has !
The Star (Canada)
With 2012 changes to immigration laws, the number of former refugees who lost their protected status — and permanent residency — has almost quintupled.
Ottawa has slowly — and quietly — stepped up efforts to strip
permanent resident status from former refugees who were granted asylum
in Canada and later returned to the country where they once faced
persecution.
Wielding new powers that came in with changes to immigration law in
2012, the federal government is now actively pursuing reopening asylum
files under what’s known as a “cessation application” and forcing
refugees whose circumstances have changed to leave Canada."

Mohammed — in pictures
The Spectator
The Koran has no injunction against depicting Mohammed. In fact, within Islam, there’s a rich tradition of painting the Prophet "
Whatever the heritage of their medieval past, Sunni Islam — in the Arab-speaking Middle East — had decisively turned its back on depictions of the Prophet well before the 18th-century emergence of Wahhabism. Once again there are no definite answers. It may have been a gut reaction to the magnificent art produced by their Iranian Shiite rivals but it also reflects a very real fear that Mohammed was slowly being turned into a demi-god and that in the process his actual prophetic message would be ignored. This was especially true in the far eastern frontiers of Islam, such as India and Indonesia (numerically the two largest Muslim nations in the world) with their ancient syncretic traditions. So the attack on imagery can also be seen to have a constructive element embedded within it, concentrating all attention on the text of the Koran and reinforcing the Arab nature of that revelation. "

Cheap central bank cash won't save the euro
Telegraph
QE will solve the eurozone crisis: For most part, this is a case of “let’s do something” amid political stalemate – rather than a remedy for any of the eurozone’s fundamental problem such as lagging competitiveness, unemployment and political backlashes. Cheap central bank cash cannot paper over deep economic and political cracks "

It is time Britain stopped being such a soft touch !
Daily Mail
It has been
revealed that the wife of the Al Qaeda fanatic believed to have mentored
the terrorists involved in last week’s Paris massacre is living on
benefits in a council house in Leicester.
Djamel
Beghal, currently awaiting trial in France, was once one of Captain
Hook’s chief cronies at Finsbury Park. His wife, Sylvie, who has four
children, decided to move to Britain from France because she wanted to
live in a more ‘Islamic environment’. Tells
you all you need to know, really, doesn’t it? Most people in search of
an ‘Islamic environment’ would look first to Saudi Arabia or Pakistan.
Not Sylvie. She chose Leicester, where she was welcomed with open arms
and showered with money courtesy of the mug British taxpayer."
