Douglas McAuthur McCain, of San Diego, California, was killed over the weekend fighting for the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham (ISIS), according to the Free Syrian Army. Photos of McCain's passport and of his body -- which feature a distinctive neck tattoo -- have been seen by NBC News. According to an activist linked to the Free Syrian Army who also saw the body and travel document, McCain was among three foreign jihadis fighting with ISIS who died during the battle.
Senior administration officials told NBC News they were aware that McCain was killed in Syria, adding that they believe dozens of Americans have gone there to fight with extremist groups - including, but not limited to, ISIS.

I reverted to Islam 10 years ago and I must say In sha Allah I will never look back the best thing that ever happen to me, he posted. McCain - or Duale, as he had come to be known - then appeared to strike up online friendships with several self-proclaimed jihadis.
On April 3, McCain retweeted the full English translation of the speech of Abu Muhammad al-Adnani the spokesman for ISIS.
Soon after, it appears that McCains travels took him to Turkey, a common jihadi route into Syria. Three people told NBC News that they met McCain who they referred to as Duale three months ago in in the Istanbul neighborhood of Sultanahmet. Two said they met him at the Burger King, where they ate and talked about the NBA.

He willingly aligned himself with a group of murderous psychopaths; and while I don't necessarily celebrate his death, nor do I mourn his passing.

(89,250 posts)4. this reminds me , did John McCain ever comment on his "raise flag over white house" ISIS friend
being killed ? on second thought maybe what he meant by raising the flag over the white house was his hopes that John McCain would become president.
