    This is not an image that just comes up if you search him. Oop chose to have this image instead of him in a suit with a kept beard.

    Edit: also amplify which fucking point, that people with messy facial hair in headscarves are terrorists?

    Edit 2: look at my bias with the messy part, sub in ‘longer’

      I think they were attempting to imply he was more dangerous than her and more deserving of being on the list. Its probably true, but tactically chosen pictures make the differences between them more extreme, less than a mug shot of her and a wedding photo of him would, as an example.

      I am surprised they didn’t find the classic terrorist photo (holding a weapon) they usually seek out for these headlines.

      Compared to what I usually see, this is pretty mild.
