IMHO – The linguistics are interesting. The accent he’s using is a combination of British (central London – West end) and American. The underlying accent -the dominant one- is definitely upper Central North American. However, there is a surface English dialect noted layering the original.
(Not New Jersey, Not New York or New England either. More like Central Upper Mid-West) Given the number of Jihadists in/around Minneapolis Minnesota that would be my best guess. Chicago Illinois second, and then a stretch would be Miami FL third.
The FBI is asking for the public’s help identifying individuals who have traveled—or are planning to travel—overseas to engage in combat alongside terrorist organizations.
“We need the public’s assistance in identifying U.S. persons going to fight overseas with terrorist groups or who are returning home from fighting overseas,” said Michael Steinbach, assistant director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division. (more…)
As expected the Syrian Kurdish controlled city of Kobane (Kobani) -located near the border with Turkey- is about to fall into the hands of Sunni ISIS extremists, and Recep Erdogan is doing everything he can to insure it happens.
[…] Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the coalition air campaign launched last month would not be enough to halt the Islamic State advance and called for greater cooperation with the Syrian opposition, which is fighting both the Islamic State and forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad.
“Kobani is about to fall,” he told Syrian refugees in the Turkish town of Gaziantep, near the border.
“We asked for three things: one, for a no-fly zone to be created; two, for a secure zone parallel to the region to be declared; and for the moderate opposition in Syria and Iraq to be trained and equipped.”
Turkish tanks and other ground forces have been stationed along the border within a few hundred meters of the fighting in Kobani — also known as Ayn Arab — but have not intervened. (link)
For two weeks we have watched Erdogan do everything he can to facilitate the falling of Kobane into the hands of his Sunni compatriots, ISIS. Erdogan’s request for a “no-fly” zone insures that Kobane, once lost, will remain a safe haven for the ISIS extremists. (more…)

Within the details you find all the jihadist nuggets which connect leftists (Democrats) to radical terrorists (ISIS).
A “teenage” “activist” leaving “Chicago” to travel to “Turkey” to cross into “Syria” and become a “jihadist“…. Can you identify a logical, historical and familiar evolutionary pattern?
[Also, (we know Treepers are sharp on this stuff) notice the picture the liberal media are using to portray the “teen”, and you can identify the liberal bent ideology behind the sketch artist. They want him to appear “older” because it deflects attention from the indoctrination et al. If the media could attach a right-wing-extremist label to the teen, they would use his high school yearbook picture.]
CHICAGO – An Illinois teenager was arrested Saturday at a major airport as authorities say he was attempting to travel to the Middle East to join the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). (more…)
While Obama dithers and tries to create the “image of doing something” by making little Syrian rocks out of big Syrian rocks,…
… A desperate and determined Kurdish woman takes action !
Reports are now surfacing that ISIS has an advantage formerly and exclusively held by Western military – night vision and laser targeting technology. Gee, I wonder where ISIS would have acquired such tactical advantage?
Western media continue to use the term “coalition airstrikes” despite the fact not a single Arab country has assisted an attack against ISIS (in Syria) since September 21st – the first day of airstrikes (political optics).
(Reuters) – Islamic State raised its flag on a building on the outskirts of the Syrian frontier town of Kobani on Monday after an assault of almost three weeks, but the town’s Kurdish defenders said its fighters had not reached the city centre.
A black flag belonging to Islamic State was visible from across the Turkish border atop a four-storey building close to the scene of some of the most intense clashes in recent days.
The radical al Qaeda offshoot has been battling to seize the predominantly Kurdish town after taking over large swathes of territory in northern Syria and Iraq in recent months.
Air strikes by American and Gulf state warplanes have failed to halt its advance on Kobani, which it has besieged from three sides and pounded with heavy artillery. (more…)
There will be those who say this is just poor timing, or was previously timed, and obfuscate their excuses around a premise this was accidentally bad.
HORSEPUCKY!
These White House delegations are planned, vetted and relentlessly poured through the prism of “what and how would it look if we do thus“.
This is not a “mistake”. This is intentional. FULLSTOP.
OKLAHOMA CITY – Oklahoma Muslims marked the end of the yearly pilgrimage to mecca with communal prayer and celebration called Eid Ul-Adha on Saturday.
Leaders of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City say it’s been a tough month for Muslims here in Oklahoma after being associated with the beheading at Vaughan foods in Moore. (more…)
The position of Turkey’s Prime Minister is crystal clear, Recep Erdogan supports ISIS.
Erdogan hates Bashir Assad more than he dislikes the methods of the radical Islamists destroying Syria. As a consequence Erdogan is willing to watch the Syrian Kurds lose in the Northern City of Kobane (aka Kobani).
What is lesser known, and factually unchallenged by an insufferable U.S. media, is the position of President Obama.
President Obama has publicly stated the U.S. goals are to defeat ISIS by “airstrikes” and supporting the “moderate Syrian opposition”. If this is true, then why are we not supporting the Kurds in the City of Kobane?
On the ground, the Islamic State (IS) advance on Kobane is clearly visible from Turkish military positions on their side of the border.
All non-combatants, around 90% of the residents, have now fled the predominantly Kurdish city and the villages surrounding it as the YPG Kurdish militia make a last defensive stand.
With Jihadist attacks coming from the west, east and the south, IS are said to be just a kilometre from the outskirts of some parts of Kobane and are firing shells into the city centre. (more…)
By now there is no doubt where Turkey’s Prime Minister Sunni ideology is resting…
EGYPT – President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s insistent criticism of Egypt’s Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who was elected president after ousting a democratically elected president via a military coup, may well come with a price tag for Turkey on various fronts ranging from the economy to diplomacy, according to concerned analysts.
“There will be a price for this [attitude of Erdoğan]. Turkey should not expect to get the support of Egypt at the election for the UN Security Council,” Faruk Loğoğlu, a deputy of the Republican People’s Party (CHP), told Sunday’s Zaman.
Turkey is among the countries competing to get a seat as a temporary member in the UN Security Council for the two-year term of 2015-2016, and it is obvious Turkey will not enjoy Egypt’s support for its bid. (more…)
