Seems like the new Jihad John might be a British Indian convert to Islam. Isn't Siddhartha an Indian name? Reminds me of the novel Siddhartha and Steppenwolf by Herman Hesse.

The family of British Muslim convert Siddhartha Dhar said last night that the killer seen shooting a prisoner in the head in the latest Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) video could be the 32-year-old former bouncy castle salesman from east London.

Both Dhar's mother and sister said they had watched the video, released by Isil on Sunday, and noticed similarities between the voice of the masked jihadi and Dhar.

Dhar, who is also known as Abu Rumasayah, was arrested in September 2014 alongside the preacher Anjem Choudary on suspicion of belonging to the banned group al-Muhajiroun.

You can't say the delusional Brits and Europeans didn't ask for it when they stupidly let in so many Muslims in.

Jihadi John confirmed dead...

Islamic State media outlet confirms death of 'Jihadi John': SITE
Tue Jan 19, 2016 - A media outlet associated with Islamic State on Tuesday released a eulogy for "Jihadi John", a member of the militant group who gained notoriety for his filmed execution of hostages, the monitoring organization SITE reported.

The militant was identified as Mohammed Emwazi, a British citizen of Arab origin. The U.S. military said in November it was "reasonably certain" it had killed him in a drone strike. Emwazi was described in Islamic State's Dabiq magazine by his nickname "Abu Muharib al-Muhajir". "On Thursday, the 29th of Muharram, 1437 (Nov. 12, 2015), Abū Muhārib finally achieved shahādah (martyrdom) for the cause of Allah, which he had sought for so long, as the car he was in was targeted in a strike by an unmanned drone in the city of Raqqah, destroying the car and killing him instantly," Dabiq said.

Emwazi became the public face of Islamic State and a symbol of its brutality after appearing in videos showing the murders of U.S. journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, U.S. aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, British aid workers David Haines and Alan Henning, Japanese journalist Kenji Goto and other hostages. Shown in the videos dressed in black, a balaclava covering all but his eyes and the bridge of his nose, Emwazi became one of the world's most wanted men.

Born in Kuwait in 1988, Emwazi was taken to Britain by his family when he was 6 years old and graduated in computer programming in London. The U.S.-British missile strike believed to have killed him was months in the preparation but came together at lightning speed last November as two U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drones and one British MQ-9 cruised above the Syrian town of Raqqa, according to U.S. officials.
