'you christians need beheading': jihadi fighter revealed as former ken

A Muslim convert who goes by the name Umm Hussain al-Britani is thought to be Sally Jones, a mother from Chatham with an interest in "black magic" and witchcraft. Umm Hussain

previously claimed she had wed computer hacker-turned jihadi Junaid Hussain after meeting online before the pair travelled to the Middle East to join with Islamic State. Junaid Hussain is a

potential suspect in the beheading of American journalist James Foley, the Sunday Times have revealed. An investigation into his wife's activities has linked her to an address in Kent

and neighbours have identified pictures on her Twitter account and confirmed it is the same woman who left the country five years ago. Umm Hussain has posted several tweets, some of which

have been deleted, in which she praises IS and issues threats against Christians. "You Christians all need beheading with a nice blunt knife and stuck on the railings at raqqa… Come

here I'll do it for you," she wrote. In another she said: "My husband is away at training camp at the moment refreshing his 'kaafir killing skills'… Don't all

cry though he'll be back soon." The reference to Raqqa relates to an IS ambush which was carried out in northern Syria last month where at least 50 Syrian soldiers were executed

and had their severed heads impaled on sticks around the city. The horrifying display was intended as a message to the people of Raqqa, an area that has become a stronghold for IS militants

as they continue to wage war in the region. A YouTube video from the early 1990s appears to show a young Sally Jones playing guitar and singing in an all-girl rock group. Meanwhile Muslim

leaders in Britain have issued a fatwa condemning those who fight for extremists in Iraq and Syria. A fatwa, an edict issued by a learned Muslim scholar, may concern any aspect of Islamic

life. Technically it cannot be revoked and dies only with the person it is directed at. Six senior Islamic scholars have reportedly endorsed the fatwa, describing Britons allied to Islamic

State cells as "heretics", in what some will see as a long-awaited step.  According to reports, the fatwa states Muslims have a "moral obligation" to help those in

war-torn Syria and Iraq, but that they should do so "without betraying their own societies". The term fatwa became famous in the West in 1989 after the author Salman Rushdie was

forced into hiding following a "death fatwa" issued by Ayatollah Khomeni, then Supreme Leader of Iran, on the grounds that his book, The Satanic Verses, had "insulted"

Islam.
