Why Jihadi John apologised to his family

Mohammed Emwazi popularly known as ‘Jihadi John’ has sent an apology to his parents for bringing shame to his family after it was discovered that he was the Islamic State executioner.

Although Emwazi apologised to his family for the shame he brought upon them, he never expressed any remorse for the gruesome killing of a number of western hostages.

Reports say Emwazi's family have been forced into hiding since his identity was revealed.

The Sunday Times revealed that Jihadi John had sent the apology through a third party asking them for forgiveness for the 'problems and trouble the revelation of his identity has caused'.

It is believed in Islamic faith that those who disobey or disrespect their parents are more likely to go to hell.

The Emwazi’s were said to have fled their £600,000 council house for their own safety, and now his mother is living at a secret location under police protection along with four out of his five brothers and sisters.

But his father and eldest sister are in Kuwait.
