Party like a Jihadi!! Sure dude, blame the music!!

Asharq al-Awsat interviews three would-be “foreign fighters” under arrest in Riyadh who made big plans to join the insurgency. One of the young men says it was the music that made him do it:

"However, his admiration of the voice and words of an Islamic Jihadi singer and his call to participate in the insurgency pushed him to do what he did.

Al-Quayri told Asharq al-Awsat that he distributed documentaries about Jihad in Iraq after finding inspiration in the words of the unknown Islamic singer who Al-Quayri now feels deceived him by saying that Jihad is the least he could do for Muslims in such a chaotic country."
