Hmmm, this article encapsulates what is wrong with left wing thinking in the west:

The Guardian has responded to the death of psychopathic ISIS terrorist Jihadi John as only the Guardian knows how: by reviving a charming, Facebook-style photo montage showing the martyred victim’s tragic journey from “shy, football-loving boy to Isis killer”.

If you read the sub-heading, you might even get the impression that the “Isis killer” part is in some doubt.
I can’t, somehow, imagine the Guardian devoting quite such special pleading to the case of a less ideologically sympathetic psychopath. For example, I’ve looked at its profile of Anders Breivik from the time of the Norway massacre, and there’s definitely no attempt made to tell us what a cute, lovable kid he was. His racism, Islamophobia, and right-wing politics, it’s made clear, are the driving force behind his actions. No doubt they were but had the Guardian given the same treatment to Emwazi, it would surely have treated us to lavish detail about the terrorists and terrorist-sympathisers he hung out with and about the Islamofascist ideology with which he had so clearly been indoctrinated.

Instead, the Guardian treads on eggshells in its eagerness not say anything bad about Islamism.
.....That’s the problem with the liberal-left these days: its so lunatic extreme it’s forever threatening to put parody out of business.
