Blamed media for failing to address 'core problem' behind ISIS atrocities

Said people were failing to understand why people were turning to jihad

at large had failed to incorporate young Muslims

Self-styled revolutionary Russell Brand believes Britain's 'corrupt' society is to blame for turning Jihadi John into a terrorist executioner.

In an extraordinary ten-minute rant on YouTube, the outspoken millionaire comedian young Muslims in the UK are so disenfranchised they ‘turn to mad jihadism’.

The millionaire comedian-turned-anarchist spoke out in a video blog he called: 'Could I have been Jihadi John?'

He said: ‘The kernel of truth in the sprawling, bewildering, bramble of ISIS madness is society isn't working, the system isn't working, it’s totally corrupt.

Controversial comedian Russell Brand posted an extraordinary ten-minute rant on YouTube saying Britian's society was to blame for turning Jihadi John into a terrorist executioner

‘That’s the thing that resonates in the core of young people, that’s the thing that pulls them into mad jihadism.’

And he went on to muse: ‘The developing news narrative in most of its permutations doesn't address the core problems.

'If Muslims have been here in significant numbers since the fifties, why is this only happening now?’

And he heaped blame on society at large for failing to incorporate and understand the ISIS atrocities.

Brand explained that while society can 'incorporate' problems like drugs, drink and homelessness, it has so far failed to understand jihadism in the same way.

'The beheadings can’t be incorporated into the main narrative of apathy, alienation, isolation,’ he said.

In the outburst, Brand also accused the media of failing to address the 'core problem' behind the ISIS atrocities

Brand also explained that while society can 'incorporate' problems like drugs, drink and homelessness, it has so far failed to understand jihadism in the same way

‘It’s merely an extreme example of something that is commonly understood. That our cultural story at the moment makes no sense. ’

In the outburst he also accused the media of failing to address the 'core problem' behind the ISIS atrocities.

However, it is not the first time that Brand has spoken out about ISIS.

In another Youtube rant in September, he argued that attitudes in Britain towards Muslim youth are to blame for men and women leaving the UK to join extremists abroad.

Meanwhile in December, he took aim at the Australian government and Prime Minister Tony Abbot following a siege at a cafe in Sydney where two people died.

Brand previously criticised Australian media for calling the Sydney siege gunman Man Haron Monis, pictured, a terrorist, saying he was simply a 'mentally ill criminal'

Brand criticised the way gunman Man Haron Monis was branded a terrorist by some media outlets, saying instead he was simply a mentally ill criminal.

'This man is clearly a mentally ill criminal with a long history of mental illness and criminal behaviour and lots of evidence of instability,' Brand said in a video.

The comedian also blamed the media for fitting the story into their own frame, amid worldwide fears about ISIS.
