A Church of England minister has told of how she learned of her jihadi son's death through a video posted online. Reverend Sue Boyce said she was 'horrified' to discover her son Jake Petty, who went by the alias Abu Yaqoob Britani, had fled the UK to join ISIS in Syria in July 2014. He continued to stay in touch with his distraught family over WhatsApp but 'went quiet' in mid August.

Looks like ISIS filled the void of another Westerner brought up in a house that does not believe in anything.

If you believe in nothing you’ll fall for anything.

Possible, maybe even probable. But not 100% guaranteed. Some losers who join ISIS just aren’t tough enough to get into something like MS-13.

She failed as a parent, plain and simple. Sorry it ended so badly for her but her foolishness led to it.

Boy, is that true!

Catholics: bring back the confessional, Communion on the knees and only on the tongue, meatless Fridays, the Latin Mass and see your numbers soar! People want instruction, discipline and beauty. Not transgenders and sloppy Masses.

This is beyond being a failed parent.

Most parents who fail do so because they were abusive or negligent.

Then there are others like this lady who have such a distorted world view that they mess up their kids lives on top of their own.

Lot of that going around.

... but 'went quiet' in mid August.

Now, there's an unusual euphemism for "got killed."

Cry me up a storm for the witch who didn’t feed enough bacon to her brat.

I know I am not supposed to speak ill of the dead, but this world is better off without her puke son. I hope he is in Hell with Allah who is really Satan.

In the message entitled 'New Life', he defended the murderous group by saying 'we are not a load of backward, bloodthirsty terrorists' and claimed 'nobody has been brainwashed or tricked'.

I would say he was brainwashed and tricked.

"Her?" I think I see the problem.

Not very good at either of her jobs, was she?

1) Mother

2) Evangelist of the gospel

There's a reason the Bible says women shouldn't be pastors.
