One of the biggest terrorism trials in the United States is likely to be held in the coming months as Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh are soon to be brought to the U.S. The two were part of a quarter of ex-British nationals who had joined ISIS and were dubbed “the Beatles.” The pair faces charges of terrorism, kidnapping, and murder. 

Alexanda Kotey and El Shafee Elsheikh joined the Islamic State and were half of a notorious cell that was responsible for killing more than 27 people. Among their victims were two American journalists, James Foley and Steven Sotloff, American aid worker Peter Kassig, Kayla Mueller, as well as British and Japanese reporters and aid workers.

In a video interview, first seen in July, Kotey and Elsheikh admitted their involvement in the captivity of Mueller. Mueller was tortured and sexually abused before her death in 2015. They also admitted to beating Foley before his death. Another member of the cell, Mohammed Emwazi, beheaded Foley on video. 

These people are not the f**king Beatles. But for the second time, the mainstream (lamestream) media are trying to make terrorists and murderers to be some kind of misunderstood rock stars. 

This isn’t the first time this has happened. Several years ago, the Tsarnaev brothers planted two pressure-cooker bombs near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. The initial blast killed two young women in their 20s and eight-year-old Martin Richard who was there with his family. Several hundred people were injured; 17 were amputated. While making their escape, the Tsarnaevs ambushed and killed a young MIT police officer. 

During the shootout with Boston and Massachusetts State Police officers, the older of the two brothers, Tamerlan was shot several times and was run over by his brother Dzhokhar as the latter sped away. Tamerlan died soon afterward. Dzhokhar was shot, wounded, and captured while hiding in a boat nearby. 

Rolling Stone magazine did an article about Dzhokhar Tsarnaev that made him out to be more of a rock star than the murderer of an eight-year-old boy. The only thing missing was the full photo layout with the little prick modeling the latest fashion from New York. 

Now Kotey and Elsheikh, who were responsible for the kidnapping, brutal beating, raping, and beheading of innocent aid workers are the Beatles? The next time someone writes “the Beatles” next to these two names, maybe they should contact the Mueller or Foley families and ask if they think the pair should appear on “America’s Got Talent” as the Beatles had appeared on the old Ed Sullivan Show.
