“He’s American?” one of the militants growled. “Let’s kidnap and kill him.”Jihadi etiquette?The room fell silent. But before anyone could act on this impulse, the rules of jihadi etiquette kicked in. You can’t just slaughter a visitor, militants are taught by sympathetic Islamic scholars. You need permission from whoever arranges the meeting. And in this case, the arranger who helped us to meet this pair declined to sign off.
“He’s my guest,” Marwan Shehadeh, a Jordanian researcher, told the bearded men.
Why is it that Islamists are such great hosts...but such lousy guests--8548 killed or injured globally by Islamist terrorists since 9/11 .
