LaRose's Friends Astonished At Her Alter Ego Jihad Jane/Colleen

Suspected terrorist Colleen R. LaRose, whose myspace page has the handle jihad Jane, was apparently leading a double life. Her MySpace page is registered under "JihadJane." In the profile photo, only her mascara-caked eyes and thin arching eyebrows are visible behind a jet-black burka that covers her face and head. She listed Islam as her religion, and "Palestine, Iraq, Chechna, Afghanistan," all sites of armed Islamic resistance, as her occupation. For a hometown, she wrote "Jannah," the Muslim analog to heaven or paradise.
On the other hand, Jihad Jane's former boyfriend, who shared an apartment with LaRose for nearly five years, said Wednesday that she never talked about international events, and that he was unaware of her Islamic faith.

     "I can't understand it. I can't believe it," Kurt Gorman told reporters outside his office in Richland Township, Pa. He called the case "crazy." Gorman said they met in 2004 while he was on a business trip to Ennis, Texas. LaRose soon moved in with Gorman and his father in a four-bedroom apartment..  "She just seemed like a completely normal person," he said.He described LaRose as "no rocket scientist," but said she was good-hearted. He said she had no job, hobbies or friends while in Pennsburg. For diversion, he said, she played computer games." Gorman told CNN, "doesn't sound like the person I knew. This doesn't seem like her personality. If you're a nice person taking care of an elderly man, that doesn't in my mind go with someone who wants to hurt someone else."


Apparently Jihad Jane's double-life came as a shock to those around her, including those who lived with her. Let the boyfriends Beware!
