But... but... Caliph Obama told us that terrorists are POOR! This can’t possibly be true.

[Paladin2]

Just another rich jihadi looking for meaningful work.

[Yo-Yo]

If only Osama bin Laden had a job, we may still have the Twin Towers.

[nuconvert]

Nice to know he has a job

[demshateGod]

So, does this put the “lack of jobs” narrative to rest?

[MeshugeMikey]

the poverty stricken down trodden....sand peasants? ahahaha

thank you.

[Buckeye McFrog]

graduated from college with a degree in computer programming.

so who's filed an H1B for him?

[BlackAdderess]

Spawn of elites, what a shock (see, this is me shocked).

[EDINVA]

Don’t - whatever you do - tell Marie Harf! It would shatter all her illusions. Or delusions.

[elhombrelibre]

Let’s find him a job! Poor fellow. Hhahaa.

[grania]

Bored rich guy looking for a thrill. Computer programming background, living out online fantasies?

I get the feeling civilization is hanging by a thread. At some point the manipulators are going to lose their ability to work everything, regardless how awful, to their personal elitist advantage.

Whatever the reason Muslims migrate to the lands formerly known as Christendom, most simply do not assimilate. They remain isolated , fervent, resentful and even overtly hostile to the people that gave them refuge. Simply underscores the politically incorrect and very inconvenient fact that Islamic culture is simply not compatible with the practices, institutions and values of the West.

[McGruff]

No these are not the kind of jobs I was talking about.

prince charlie slumming with jihadis

" British intelligence had identified him as a risk as far back as 2009, when they stopped Emwazi from traveling to Somalia to join al-Shabaab. After getting kicked out of Dar es Salaam, he and two others were sent to Amsterdam, where MI-5 detained and questioned him. They let him return to the UK, though, where Emwazi’s radicalization continued. A year later, they stopped him from going to Kuwait. Two years after that, Emwazi found his way out of the UK and into Syria. "

IOW the Limeys have had a pretty good idea about this guy for going on six years and the news is breaking today.

What else is going on today?

If only Osama bin Laden had a job, we may still have the Twin Towers.

Yep. People don’t think about the fact Bin Laden was from one of the wealthiest families in Saudi Arabia.

Why aren’t more Republicans/conservatives/responsible spokesmen out there, refuting Democrats when they make inane comments such as terrorism is bred by poverty and all that????

[SharpRightTurn]

Brought up in England and now part of IS.

So, how can we tell among the hosts of mohammedans we’re importing which will turn jihadist on us, not only among the first generation, but among the second generation who grow up here and are fully “Amercianized”?

Stop all mohammedans from entering our country is the only way we can be safe.

[Dilbert San Diego]

How does someone such as Marie Harf, who is obviously ignorant of history and so called root causes of terrorism, get a high level job in the first place?

I don’t want to hold her young age against her, but I wonder about that too. Do we have overgrown adolescents running this country????

[Diana in Wisconsin]

The Washington Post is outing this guy? WOW!
