According to Foley’s tweets and reports, he was an extreme leftist. He believed that because he supported the Jihadists that he would be immune to their extremism. But they seized him simply because he was American and used him for their own ends.
I’m reminded of the Leftist hippies who flew to Cambodia and hiked across the North Vietnamese border to hang with their communist buddies and show that they were “down” with the struggle. They were all executed as spies. Surely the NVC understood who and what they really were. They simply didn’t care.
Yes, the Left is in for a surprise if they ever win and end up trying to cohabitate with the Jihad. (And then there was one.)
