Douglas McCain

Douglas McAuthur McCain (29 January 1981-August 2014) was an American jihadist who fought for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. He was the third American killed fighting for the ISIS terrorist group during the Syrian Civil War, following Moner Mohammad Abu-Salha and a woman fighter. McCain was a "goofball" in high school, but respected people's religions and was not a believer in massacring people of other faiths. In 2014 he was killed by the Free Syrian Army after heading to Syria through Turkey. His death brought attention to the vast number of Americans that planned to join ISIS in the Middle East or launch domestic terrorist attacks for ISIS.
