The guy in all of the ISIS videos has finally been identified by the US government as Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born Londoner. Emwazi is believed to have traveled to Syria in 2012 and later to have joined ISIS there. Although they believe that it is him, they still are a little unsure of their findings. British officials declined to confirm his identity. The British Officials even got his friends to try to declare if it was him and still couldn't declare if it was 100%.
This article relates to what we are studying in class because a lot of it is media based. We aren't entirely sure if we have the identity of the guy behind the mask but you can believe that his face flying around the internet will help the British Officials jump to a conclusion of whether he is or isn't. Also, if it is him, they don't know for any reason why he would have joined in the first place.
I believe that it is definitely a good idea to take advantage of this information and try to seek to find him and do some investigation on how and why he would join. Its better to be wrong an do figure out that we're wrong than to be right and never find out if we're right.
