The first white British youth to join ISIS in Syria was a 'class clown' turned to Islam by his Muslim school friends, MailOnline can reveal.

Jack Letts, who now goes by the name Ibrahim or Abu Muhammed, is living in Iraq after fleeing the UK when he was 18.

The middle-class 20-year-old son of an organic farmer from Oxford told his parents that he was going to study Arabic in Kuwait before secretly travelling to war-torn Syria, arriving in September 2014.

More than 750 Britons have travelled to Iraq or Syria to join ISIS. Up to 100 of those have been killed.

One in seven chance of being killed is proof he's none too smart.

'There is a massive Muslim influence around here, which is great actually

Just wait until he's blowing up and killing his old British friends and neighbors. Won't that be great actually! /s

At 20, he isn't a kid even if he is immature playing at islam because there are no consequences for continuing his disruptive behavior.

“The western world is godless, depraved and celebrates death in its literature, entertaiment, music, and abortion practices.”

Very true,

ISIS is a demonic spirit rampaging about the middle-east and is now extending its authority flooding itself wherever it can across the landscape, its being helped by degenerate reprobate politicians in the west, they are made to serve it because they already serve the same master (Satan) who also gives these same politicians their seat, power and authority,

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; “ Romans 1:28

And those like this formerly atheist ‘middle class boy in the UK’ they are disposable and completely open and vulnerable to it, and then without spiritual protection against its advances, when that spirit is then given any opportunity to engage them, many just like him will be pulled in to its influence to differing degrees,

Obama, Merkel and others are flooding the west with this evil spirit, allowing it greater authority over their own nations and across this Earth,

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” Ephesians 6:12

1. Does the “typical” (representative, classic, quintessential, archetypal, model) middle class British boy join ISIS?

2. No.

3. 1 minus 2 = 0

Zero equals the value of he statement that the British guy who joined ISIS was a “typical” middle class Brit.

Whatever qualities he may have had, he had some sufficiently untypical qualities or, like the truly “typical” Brit he would not have joined ISIS.

It seems the Islamists and their leftish fellow travelers now control a lot of the British press.
