When Top Gear front man Jeremy Clarkson left the show, the crowds of fanatical followers faded fast. When Zayn left One Direction, the band's insatiable devotees started to question their faith in the boy band's message. And so, as IB Times reports, the exodus of ISIS front-man "Jihadi John" from the terror group - citing irreconcilable differences with his "jealous" former terrorist colleagues - one wonders if the cracks of caliphate are starting to show...

Britain's notorious, Kuwaiti-born, terrorist Mohammed Emwazi – known as Jihadi John – is on the run in Syria fearing the Islamist regime is going to kill him. As IB Times reports, Emwazi, from west London, is said to have been terrified by the publicity after he was identified as the murderer of British and American hostages.

He may have joined a less well-known jihadist group somewhere in Syria, to try to keep a low profile.

The Mirror reports that Emwazi is scared that "jealous" members of Islamic State may attack him, as well as being frightened of the British and US special forces hunting for him in the Middle East.

The extremist is wanted for the gruesome killings of journalists and aid workers Stephen Sotloff, James Foley, David Haines, Alan Henning and Peter Kassig.

Members of the SAS and US special forces have reportedly been given orders to capture Emwazi so he can be placed on trial, or to kill him if taking him prisoner is not practical.

It appears, perhaps, that Emwazi, who changed his name via deed poll, got too big for the ISIS 'band' and has not appeared in an Islamic State propaganda video, since Japanese journalist Kenji Goto was executed.

Ah, the irony. Sweet, sweet irony.
My schadenfreude is tremendous right now. There´s a special place in hell for people like him,
but I hope whoever catches him makes him suffer as much as his victims had to before sending him there.

He who lives by the sword dies by the sword.

This is like a real life version of the "mandarin" from Iron Man 2.

Speaking of this I stumbled upon this:

They claimed the executions are possibly staged.

This sounds like an Aesop fable in the making.

Hopefully ISIS catch him before the SAS do.

So Jihadi Jack-Off was raised in the UK and benefitted from a western education and liberal upbringing then got the religion of the one true faith and decided it would be a good idea to behead in the most personal and gruesome way infidels from Anglosphere countries that took in his family and provided them sustenance and safety only to repay them with brutal Jihad.

I can see no better poster child or reason to invoke the Harry Truman doctrine of unconditional surrender or be vaporized.

His family also received welfare I believe.

In all honesty the only guys in Boston who ever got in my face in a severe disrespectful manner were waki pakistanis - not only am I former military I had clients on the big dig who were connected big time contractors - and I have listened to "Soprano" jokes for years yet the wise guys respected me because of my Military background and knew I was the most lethal of their bunch, expert in everything from side arms to missiles and nukes.

The islamists I have had the misfortune to cross paths with impressed me as being beyond insane thinking that they are on a one way ticket to paradise if they eff with real American men who they seethe with Quranic hatred for.

None were worth me going to prison over yet I am now convinced that Truman style unconditional surrender or vaporization is really the only way to deal with fanatics be they Islamists or fanatic Narco Terrorists. The Russians I met in Moscow lived lives better than Americans (only 13% flat Russian taxes had a lot to do with it) and Chinese can't buy up USA stash pads fast enough and most want to add to the USA success with complete freedom to become educated and do business. The Russians and Chinese are more like competitive adversaries as like members of opposite teams you want to win against but do not want you dead and your DNA scrubbed from the face of the planet like the fanatics.

Despite the length and seriousness of the cold war, the Americans and the Soviets were always able to keep things from getting out of hand based on one principal. Each side loved their own children more than they hated each other. The problem with fanatical Islam is that they hate us more than they love their own children.

Man I hope it doesn't take ten years to get that murdering piece of shit. Not to criticize the people that hunted Bin Laden, it's just better for the young to see that the more you torment people, the faster you get offed.

Nope.

'Jihadi John' targeted by U.S. drone strike in Syria

CNN)He hid his face, but "Jihadi John" was the English-speaking voice of ISIS. His twisted, videotaped taunts and acts of terrible cruelty -- beheading hostages who had gone to the Middle East to help others and report stories to the world -- symbolized the Islamist militant group's depravity and ruthlessness.

Not anymore, it appears.

In announcing a drone strike late Thursday night, the Pentagon did not say definitively that Mohammed Emwazi had been killed. But officials expressed confidence he is dead.

The United States had been tracking him closely since Wednesday, and Thursday he was seen leaving a building and getting into a car, U.S. officials said. Three drones went after that vehicle, which may have contained another person, and two missiles were fired.

Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently, a Syrian activist group, said a missile hit Emwazi's car directly at 11:51 p.m. (4:51 p.m. ET) in front of an ISIS court in Raqqa. Citing a source in the de facto Syrian capital, the same group said that ISIS militants then ringed that vehicle and two others that had been struck to prevent anyone from getting closer.

Speaking hours later on Friday, British Prime Minister David Cameron cast the airstrike as an act of self-defense. If it is confirmed Emwazi is dead, "it will strike at the heart of ISIS," said Cameron, whose government worked with their U.S. colleagues ahead of the strike.

"We always said we will do whatever is necessary to track down Emwazi and stop him taking the lives of others," he said.

But there was no joy or sense of victory from Louise Woodward-Styles. Her friend, British aid worker David Haines, was among the hostages whose beheading videos featured Emwazi. Others included American journalists Steven Sotloff and James Foley, U.S. aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, British aid worker David Haines and Japanese journalist Kenji Goto.

"There's just sadness," Woodward-Styles said. "It reminds you of the loss of Alan and just hoping it's closure for the family. But also I hope it reminds people that the issue of Syria is still ongoing, and not to forget the reasons why Alan was there."

As to Emwazi himself, Woodward-Styles added, "I don't think he deserves the attention that his apparent death is causing. I think he was a coward."
