Joseph Cohen, a Jewish convert to Islam who goes by the name “Yousef al-Khattab,” has been the subject of several LGF posts starting in July 2002. He’s the founder of the radical “Revolution Muslim” website, an openly pro-terrorist site that encouraged Muslims to become jihadis, and has been linked to several recent cases in which they did exactly that.

Here’s a photo of al-Khattab that we posted in 2007, when he attended a demonstration at Columbia University:

So today it’s slightly surprising to discover that al-Khattab is suddenly changing his tune.

The surprise vanishes, though, when you realize he’s terrified of going to jail or being forced to flee the country, after those recent home-grown jihad cases.
