Jihadi John unmasked: Asim Qureshi on Mohammed Emwazi | Channel 4 News

[@kurienvarghese5599]

In fact, it's Asim Qureshi who is unmasked here....!

[@NasirAli-iu9mu]

It's simple, one extremist defending another extremist.

[@sykojr100]

Giving him education. Giving him a home. Giving him a job. Giving him good. Giving him freedom to do what he wants. Give him the right to express his religion. Must have had a bad life in Britain!

[@Mmm-vs3rt]

No you didn't give him anything. You cannot own a country.

[@BlessedYakub]

aweee sweet little ignorant...did u forget that country u talking about stole from many countries for hundred years . attacked and killed innocent people... use ur head

[@alooparatha7468]

Lol, the number of times I've been told "Ffs,this is England, take that off" by white Brits is unbelievable. Please, take your bigotry elsewhere, "freedom to express religion". Ignorant fool. Lol 😆

[@adinfinitum000]

We should respect and tolerate these guys ? NO WAY

[@djw5415]

What the heck is wrong with this dude. Literally trying to stand up for a guy who sliced the throats of innocent people. Sickening

[@manjeetgill1]

Most Muslims have same sympathetic view mate

[@kevinmc70]

Come on Asim! Be a man and tell him that not only do you Not condemn your beautiful Muslim brother's beheadings, you are in fact proud of him and his actions too! I know you did say it by not condemning it in here but just say it in plain and direct words! You know the British government is not gonna do anything after all so why not showing them up and doing a real Jihad by doing so?!

[@alessonincrime]

"John, I'm offended by the question." - why am I not surprised by his "offence" to a simple question of him condemning the actions of Mohammed Emwazi? This is becoming a constant excuse, and it is extremely worrying.

[@imtiyazkhan-vy5os]

Once again getting a Muslim to apologise for someone else's actions, typical western double standards

[@Indiantales320]

He is trying to defend terrorist, if any police man questions you in security reasons that doesn't mean you will cut heads of people..

[@TakhareefCo]

"One of my other concerns regarding moderate Muslims is their response to Islamic terrorism. Whenever the issue of Islamic extremism arises, the first reaction of moderate Muslims is not to start an honest debate and reform in their religion but to defend Islam and Muslims. Moderate Muslims are obsessed with slogans like “the religion of peace” more than they care about facing the terrorists emerging from their own communities. Moderate Muslims rush to warn about Islamophobia and unjust western prejudice against Muslims. Almost in every single occasion that Islamic terrorism is mentioned, Muslims’ first action is to defend their faith. They assert over and over how peaceful and beautiful Islam is. They are obsessed with their religion and care about it more than they care about stopping murder in its name. It should be clear that this kind of obsession is just another form of fundamentalism. The time has come to talk about how unhelpful and unhealthy their constant obsession with Islam is. Those Muslims need to know that it is more important right now to direct their efforts inside their communities to battle extremism than to polish the image of a faith soaked in blood. Constantly using the rhetoric of Islamophobia and defending their faith as if it was under attack does not help us to promote peace but actually makes the job of terrorist recruiters easier."

[@EspritArkitekt]

ok so why don't jews reform judaism in the face of violent zionism?

[@Jonathangriffin82]

This is an absolutely outrageous statement. It reeks of Islamophobia and a complete lack of understanding of Islam. Firstly, why does a ‘moderate’ Muslim have a duty to comment on events that are unrelated to their day to day activities? Every Muslim is not a spokesperson for their religion. For example, doe every atheist have to condemn hitler and Stalin all the time? Does every Hindu have to condemn the Gujarat riots? Does every Christian have to condemn the Christchurch terrorise? Should every white person come out and condemn Dylan Roof? Why is it the job of ‘moderate Muslims’ to come out and condemn a terrorist? Also, how much condemnation is enough? Why would a Muslim in Alaska need to come out and make a statement against jihadi John? Your statement is islamophobic because you are trying to hold Islam to a value that you don’t appropriate to other religions.

[@senor250]

"He was a quiet caring man" They said the same about Ed Gein.

[@rantanplan178]

Hitler was a vegetarian...

[@Klazyo]

Shame on you Asim Qureshi for not condemning firmly , I feel ashamed that you are muslim you did very bad

[@megalodon7916]

We got him! An American drone killed him yesterday!

[@robbiebonechannel]

I'm sorry but no matter how badly I'm mistreated by police, I'm not going to cut a load of people's heads off and burn someone alive! Obviously there was something wrong with him to begin with. These people should be treated like factory fault computers, not user mistreated computers.

[@RitaSijelmass]

As strongly as I disagree with him in most cases, I do think there is something to take out of this conversation. It is that everyone is human (also Mohammed Emwazi), and of how malleable the human mind is. What Jihadi John has done is an outrage, it's a threat to human society, and his actions are unforgivable. BUT he did once grow up as a small kid with hopes and dreams, and to learn the psychology behind a person like that would educate us greatly to prevent it from happening in the future. Also, he makes a point that terrorism does not only happen by radical muslims - Guantanamo Bay, can, in a sense, be compared here as being equally horrifying. Again; I do not say that I agree with Asim Qureshi, but there is a take-home message from all of this: monsters aren't born as monsters, they evolve into one later on.

[@theboxingbiker]

+RitaSijelmass Agree

[@jamesharris7425]

I think this guy was born to be a monster though. He had some pathological need to do what he did, all he was looking in life was the jusification.

[@bernice_anders]

He's trying his best guys. This guy is so calm it's sickening!

[@alejandroadarvearredondo6038]

Caring??? This guy is high on ketchup

[@astrazenica7783]

I made it to 1 minute in. Can't watch anymore cos I'll do something stupid, bad for stress levels

[@roibeard2435]

You missed his trotting out of the tiresome 'Is it because I'm a Muslim' canard

[@allthewine]

I don't understand why it is hard for this guy to condemn Jihadi John?

[@D_isco_D_ancer]

Non of the excuses that this guy is making manage to stand on two feet.

[@thegrandmuftiofwakanda]

Absolutely unbelievable. It is sickening to think the country is now swarming with people who think like this, with more on the way.

[@SailingPlank]

However Emwazi ended up a lunatic killer....these types of debates are absolutely vital to understand all perspectives.

[@Ace1000ks]

Jihadi John is the type of person you would want society to have 0:19 to 0:26 , LOL. Are you kidding me.

[@manlikedrogba9408]

this guy cant give a straight answers because he agrees with wat hes doing.

[@mickthawley]

your right there

[@seblindsey5690]

Dot on mate

[@najejapad5503]

No we all condem terrorisem but we don't know what makes a nice kid go crazy

[@dpatel6666]

How this guy cleverly makes himself into a victim, an apologist for a terrorist.

[@manjeetgill1]

Not very clever mate

[@werter5075]

Quran (8:12) - "I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore strike off their heads and strike off every fingertip of them"

[@aliwally87]

This passive aggression blows my MIND!!!!

[@RecMirage]

Talk about dancing around the question. He simply refused to say the sentence "I condemn Mohammed Emwazi" pointed the finger in every other direction and blamed everyone else except for the man severing the heads of innocent people.

[@joeblack1126]

This guy is dangerous get him off our screens

[@HeresMyView]

Billy, too late. The propaganda is released.

Jon Snow gave Martin Amis a much harder time than this for merely saying that airport security should be more concerned about terrorist threats coning from Arab men than looking through his little girls backpack.

[@Happy-gc5ry]

Why doesn't MI5 try to recruit ME? I need a job, dammit! So unfair.

[@boranbkk4270]

This aged well

[@D_isco_D_ancer]

Oh boy... People who understand body language would definitely know what that tongue twist means when this guy was pressed to condemn Emwazi by name.

[@serpens8]

LoL...he radicalised by British security...OMG :] no way by Islam

[@Gsdizzle19]

Asim Qureshi condemns the actions that where used but not the man for doing so, he blames others and wants the accountability to be acknowledged from all parties for making this " beautiful man " do these acts but places no accountability on that man. He still believes Mohammed Emwazi is innocent and is not willing to admit that he had a part in those beheading's as the screen turns away just when the knife is about to draw blood. Disgusting

[@americanslime]

I don't know about this Qureshi guy, but I love he says he condemns war crimes no matter who commits them like 5 fucking times and the interviewer still thinks he somehow isn't applying that to this one guy. The principle he's putting forward is completely sound- war criminals should be condemned and punished for their actions universally. I get the frustration, though. Both sides of this debate always seem much happier to talk about one group's violence than the other. It would be much easier if we could all acknowledge the degree of violence perpetrated by both sides in its fullest extent, without minimizing any of it, and move from there.

[@wally1970]

Read about Quereshi here standforpeace.org.uk/asim-qureshi/ - don't believe his bullshit

[@americanslime]

wally1970 Yeah, he's clearly a piece of shit. The points I alluded to from the video stand, though.

[@bonanimathambo8721]

Well I do know Qureshi and he is evasive in every interview when it comes to questions about whether he condemns terrorism. Look up any interview of his and you'll start to see a pattern.

[@octaviolove]

why would the security services look into him if he was just a good, kind normal guy! FOH

[@bigsilewis3660]

John went a bit Bill O Reilly/ Sean Hannity at 5:30

[@OxAO]

Simon Lewis Is that bad? I don't like either one of those people that you mentioned one is an idiot the other one bores me to tears. What is wrong with getting an answer from someone that is dodging a question? If you notice he never did give a clear answer it was qualified by actions that, "he didn't know about." We just watched a terrorist sympathizer.

[@bigsilewis3660]

Ox AO I do understand he was pushing for the answer, like Paxo but started to get a little Fox news. The other guy was being evasive.

[@OxAO]

Simon Lewis Honestly, I didn't think Jon had it in him to face up to a terrorist sympathizer. He strikes me as a coward that would back down in the face of a real threat. He just proved me wrong.

[@anne-mariecross4277]

These deniers really aggravate me. Get him off our screen

[@craigtitusfitness2249]

What Asim Qureshi is saying by implying Emwazi was a "nice" person is that if you don't want this to happen again don't mess with "us" because any of us can become Jihadi John's and you don't want that on your hands, so do whatever we say and you'll be fine. Obey the Islamists, relax your terror laws and relax your security services, and you'll be okay, if you don't, more Jihadi Johns will follow.

[@peekay7087]

Obey Islamist extremism? Eff off😮

[@EspritArkitekt]

so what happened ti jihadi john in the end?

[@randlegraaf9055]

Don't be surprised if you see this man's face on the breaking news for attacking people with knives or running them over with a rental truck!

[@Awesomanous]

lel, Boris Johnson has released a statement calling Asim a terrorist.

[@bradengels]

[@brandonwruptz9716]

That guy deserves a slap fam

[@Soraviel]

channel 4 shouldn't give this guy a time of day

[@danielmurray04]

why is snow asking this man to speak on jihadi john's behalf! ?

[@danielmurray04]

***** on his own behalf... no one has the right to speak for another without their consent! surely.... isn't that in the magna carta? it is so sad to see how the good passed on from a history, which was full of massive evil, is discarded, with such little thought.... does that not make you pause and question where you stand?

[@danielmurray04]

Daniel Murray in a christian context it would probably fall within a warped extension of bearing false witness... very interesting that one was in the ten commandments don't you think?... I'm not religious, but we would be fools not to study what, even in secular terms, wold be one of the most important books on morality even written? ... with the Quran of course... also interesting how Mohammad is the prophet and founder of the church, while jesus is only a small part of the bible and the christian founding ... which one do the say was the rock on which christianity is founded was?.. and of course Christianity is like the next chapter in Judaism.. and then the Quran being supposedly the last word.This is probably why Muslims take insults against Mohammad more seriously than Christians do Jesus, even though... Christianity is barely a religion in the developed world any more... look at jewish people and Muslims, they take their beliefs very seriously, to Christians they are like being in some sort of social club... interesting as their belief claims god and his mum. You know, a parallel chronological observation of various religions, social changes, economics, increase/decrease in state involvement in raising children, war, revolution and perceptions of the public on these issues, would be very interesting.

[@danielmurray04]

***** has that been proved? you really trust what the mainstream media to decide a person death!!!! If he is guilty, what difference is the SAS getting him make anyway? if you open your eyes you can see that western interventions in Muslim countries are pretty much the main cause, only cause, of retaliation .... are you really trying to say western action, support for Israel, is not a factor in any Muslim retaliation? do you even see it as retaliation?

[@danielmurray04]

***** you don't think a person having their family blown to bits by a drone, would be depressing? If you think this is about religion, you don't even know the basics.

[@danielmurray04]

***** look, what Islamic nation that has these supposed groups, were not occupied, bombed, bullied, embargoed, or had the state disabalised by western forces ? Religion is a tool and a deception in it's role here.... it is not the cause in any way, just like Israel, Northern Ireland, it seems to match certain sides, but that is really incidental, of course the Jews use the holocaust.. but that is political.

[@hastywasty1457]

Pointless conversation

[@Ronnyjackson25]

downfall of the west right here

[@Resource777]

Asim Quresh is trying to put the blame on anything but the teaching of Islam!

[@lilians5068]

There should be no attempt to rationalize the killings. Its murder and its wrong.

[@racquelsabesaje4562]

what you are trying to imply he is kind and that attitude adopts

[@domloz3130]

Asim Qureshi is either deluded or secretly backing extremism.

[@aimeemacdn]

Strange use of the descriptive "beautiful". What has physical appearance got to do with personality or intent? Peculiar to me.

[@jono77]

I respect jon snow too but he would not have asked amnesty intl that same question. What a stupid question to ask do u condemn these actions. This man from cage represents all the muslim people I have ever know in my life, humble, respectable and intelligent.

[@Sharkyg1985]

What a dope. This kind of apologist stirs up hate. It's unnecessary and the nuanced discussion can be held in a way that still acknowledges the horror and barbarity of this individual's actions.

[@TLFernandez]

The journalist should never made that kind of question to Qureshi. It is disrespecful. I am not muslam, I am not in favor what is happening in the middle east nowadays. He is pushing to him to say something that just justice can do.

Jon Snow - makes Sky -News- look like a grinning bunch or ars*holes - but even Jon Snow did not emphasise his own point Jon Snow said in effect there was no court quality evidence - he's seen the video and I have not - so I am relying on full and accurate reporting

[@mickthawley]

no matter what, these sort of crimes should be punished why is it everyone elses fault if they are unhappy with the west ok but why behead innocent people what have they done, what will this achieve other than making things worse condemn these acts completely as you should there is no defence

[@rabidfarmer9765]

He was as gentle as Pol Pot. or Stalin.

[@wjc003ify]

Big difference we easily missed out is some moslims believe death is one of the options to take and it means less valuable religiously allow to kill others. That guy insists based on admission of cruel behavior for some religious purpose and related treats in this society. I think that no matter what reasons exists cruelty cannot be considered regardless of religious related treat from genuin human nature .

[@sigem555]

Stupid comments from this guy. Playing the racist cards, the anti muslim card. Take responsibility and call him out for what he is. A sick individual.

[@lordrockingham9175]

In regards to the 'evidence' that they have named the right man? Where is it? Just a thought. It's astonishing how quickly the media can convince a public that needs answers to troubling events with scant evidence. A name, a little bit of background information and something about 'voice recognition software' is all it takes. It's kinda miraculous don't you think? I hope they have named the right man and that he is bought to some form of justice but people get a grip!

[@kunaalsoni261]

This guy love it really, he's struggling to contain his support.

[@SuperFerdie1965]

I hope Emwazi is being sent his full rations of fruit and nut. He loves these chocolate bars and it is purely coincidental that he is a fruit and a nut himself. Of course I blame his teachers and not him of his parents. We all know that Islam is a very peaceful religion and that anyone who disagrees is likely to lose their head.
