ISIS Leader in Mass Beheadings of Christians May Be American

U.S. intelligence officials are analyzing whether the masked Islamic State militant who appears in the video of the beheading of 21 Coptic Christians could be an American recruit, ABC News reported.

A senior U.S. official said experts are looking at facial features and speech patterns of the masked man who spoke in the video, and an expert in linguistics said he believes the man was educated in the United States, Fox News reported.

"He clearly spent a significant amount of his childhood in the United States," Professor Erik Thomas, a linguistics expert at North Carolina State University, told Gretchen Carlson on "The Real Story" Wednesday afternoon, according to Fox News.

"Whether it was all of his childhood or not, I couldn't say that. I would say probably from the time he began his schooling, he was in the United States, but he was properly exposed to Arabic all along."

Why not? Americans always have been and always will be among the worst of the worst.Our prisons are cram packed full of animals that truly belong there,and the only reason 3 times as many aren't incarcerated is because of cell shortages.America can be tied to a whole lot of dasturdly acts all over the world.I love my country and I wouldn't live anywhere else,but it is what it is.
