Jihadi John is one of the most hunted individuals in the world. So, why do some people continue to talk about the character being a fraud and an invention of the west?
The brutality of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is evident in many news reports yet for some people this is simply too much too accept.
The main theme seems to be that Muslims would never commit such heinous acts.
Conspiracy theories surfaced regularly following the Paris Massacres with some Muslims sharing the thoughts of all people, Jean Marie Le Penn who was reported as saying that he thought the killings were an inside job.
The Jihadi John conspiracies meanwhile have already taken hold. In many respects they are shared in the hope that what we are seeing may not be true. We are able to with a click of button watch videos and view information from across the world. And we believe what we want to believe.
Here are some of the most common Jihadi John theories doing the rounds.

The aim is to put all the terrorists in one place
The Islamic State is a Western invention to draw all of Jahadi’s into one place all at once so they can be destroyed at once. Stupidly Islamic fighters are travelling there thinking they are taking place in one big Jihad but they are actually just pawns in a worldwide war.


Jihadi John is an actor
Names like ‘Jihadi John’ have struck a chord with western audiences. We like to hear catchy names like this as it makes sense of the killing a little more digestible. Jihadi John could be anybody but inventing someone like him makes him the perfect foil.

He is described as ISIS enforcer but Shakir Wahiyib (above) to many just looks like an actor with a false beard? Even his hair doesn’t look right. His heavy eyebrows give him away.
Beheadings have been staged at regular intervals to make Muslims look bad. The videos are also fake and the people are all actors. If that was true then the families would also have to be actors and everyone would have to be in on the scam. Or not as that would be too obvious? Moreover, is this not grossly inconsiderate for victims families to even suggest this?


Americans invented IS
ISIS is in fact a creation of the American government. The point being that ‘without groups like IS we can revive our empire and become the biggest power in the region’. And they are not the only ones the West has created...even Al-Qaeda came about after the CIA funded it. The rule is it is usually the benefactors who are the instigator.


IS being used to test weapons
This takes us on to the next theory that ISIS has been invented so Western powers can test their weaponry. After is became plainly obvious that Afghanistan wasn’t working the new enemy needs to be more brutal so that weapons companies can keep selling governments a vast amount of arsenal. That means the real benefactors are the multi-national weapons companies who are supplying both sides. Does anyone know the name of a weapons supplier?


Election year and fear
With the UK election coming up there will be a major ‘incident’ on British soil. This will ensure the government remains in power. People are more than likely to vote for the sitting government through fear of the unknown!

Therefore, Jihadi John only makes an appearance when there is bad news at home to bury
