The new 'Jihadi John' suspect was an Arsenal and Nirvana fan

Siddharta Dhar who changed his name as Abu Rumaysah wanted to become a dentist before he left studies.

Siddharta Dhar, who converted and took the name Abu Rumaysah, was born and grew up in UK in a Hindu family.
According to mirror.co.uk, which quoted his friends, Abu Rumaysah is an Arsenal supporter and loves iconic rock band Nirvana.
He was a bouncy castle salesman who enjoyed Hollywood action movies. Siddharta Dhar's life changed when he was 16, after the death of his father.
Leaving his studies and the dream of becoming a dentist, Dhar took up a job with Boots. Later he converted to Islam and slowly became radicalised, according to his friends.
He became one of Britain's most high-profile Islamists through his mentor Anjem Choudary, who is due to go on trial next week in UK accused of terrorism offences.
After his conversion, Abu Rumaysah regularly attended protests staged by the now banned organisation Al Muhajiroun and had often spoken to the media in support of radical religious causes. He shunned TV and music and even told his mother that he couldn't love her anymore because she was not a Muslim.

Despite being on bail for terrorism charges, he took a bus to Paris and travelled to Syria to join the Daesh forces with his small children and pregnant wife.
Since leaving Britain he gained further attention through online videos in which he exhorted life under Daesh. He even wrote a 46-page travel guide to Daesh caliphate, describing it as plush heaven and real cosmopolitan.
A trail of videos also offers some insight into Dhar's world view.
In one posted on his YouTube website, titled "The beauty of the Shariah and the Caliphate", he said: "I've grown up in the West, I've lived in the United Kingdom all my life, I've seen what a democracy has to offer and quite frankly it's quite oppressive."
Robb Leech, who got to know Abu Rumaysah while making a documentary about his own stepbrother who was jailed for terrorism offences in 2013, said Abu Rumaysah had never struck him as violent, and had always been friendly.
"The last time I saw him it was about two months before he left and joined Daesh and we were laughing. It was very good natured," Leech told BBC radio.
"To remember him like that and then see him supposedly in this video, I don't understand that," he said, adding that he must have had some very significant experiences in Syria with Daesh to make him capable of doing what he did.
"Because the guy who I knew was no more capable of it than you or I as far as I could tell."
