As French authorities race to capture two men who they say killed 12 in a brutal attack on a magazine in Paris Wednesday, details emerged overnight about the two suspects, one of whom appears to have been a failed rapper.
Cherif Kouachi, 32, was briefly featured in a 2005 French television documentary as an aspiring rap musician who was arrested on terror charges that put him in prison for a year and a half. At the time, Cherif had told a French court that the scandal at Abu Ghraib prison and the influence of a young religious leader convinced him to give up rapping to prepare himself for jihad abroad, according to local reports.

Don't ask.
We really don’t live in reality. We don’t. We live in Absurdity and Irony. They have wholly displace reality and rendered it a non-concept.
Gettin’ his G.E.D., turnin’ his life around, gonna go to Vatterott College and study electronics, sang in the mosque choir, gonna pay off his child support and buy a KIA on credit...
“He was just turning his life around....”
No - absurdity is randomness. People like Sarte and the Existentialists saw life as absurd and ironic because they saw events as random and disconnected from any greater reality, and hence meaningless.
In fact, things such as "rappers turning into Jihadis" are so predictable and obvious, and the causation and outcomes so obvious - they have a very clear meaning. Its only that much of society refuses to see it - for now anyway.
Which is ALSO the logical result of getting shot with a high powered weapon. your entire life turns around. Then you fall over and die.

Hopefully he’ll soon be an expiring rapper.
This just in....
Police were called out when Cherif’s mama beat down his grandmother over the t-shirt sales.
But they all agree.... “he was a good boy.”
Agreed. We live in Bizzaro world.
It seems like ‘failed rapper’ is a common thread with a lot of theses social misfits and jihadi thugs. Wasn’t one of the Boston Bomber brothers a wannabe rapper? I know Michael Brown was ... I think Trayvon, too.
No, Absurdity is very logical and ordered. Absurdity is the polar opposite of sensical. If it were random, then water being wet ‘could’ randomly be ‘absurd’.
Likewise, Evil could be considered good at random. Which is, in itself absurd by definition.
Cherif don’t like it.....Rock the Casbah...Rock the Casbah....
...who was arrested on terror charges that put him in prison for a year and a half.
Terror charges. Who knows? That could be a simple as just making a threat. Or perhaps he burned a car. Who knows? But the point is that he should have been deported or put in jail for decades.
My prayer is that France wakes up (and the rest of Europe too) and takes strict corrective action now before the USA (once again) has to step in and rescue them.

I thought Jihadi John, who was from England, was a former rapper? So do all failed rappers go jihad?
Rap.....the devil’s invention to incite “disaffected” youth with no hope, so they can sing out the carnage they wish so much to inflict on innocent people.
This is an industry where you need some kind of “street cred” in order to be respected and promoted. I’d agree with the poster that says Rap & Allah go hand-in-hand. Maybe I should add an “e” to rap also?
Seems our country too, has problems with failed rappers.
