Previously on American Jehihati.

It was kind of weird to be waking up every day and not be getting your communications.

Frankly, dude, I didn't know if you were still alive.

Hamami. Frankly, dude, I didn't know if you were still alive.

Hamami found himself on the side of Al-Shabaab that started to call for some moderation. That indiscriminate killing was not okay.

I always told him to just be a man of honor and stick to his principles.

He went against the most evil guy in the shababs and when you go against that guy

there was only one way out of the door and it's to be killed.

What happens if they find you? What are they going to do to you?

they find you. What are they going to do to you? There's a story that Omar's father, Shefique told me about Omar as a young man.

Omar had just young man.

Omar had just turned 20.

He and Shefique had been locked in a long-running argument about how dogmatic Omar had become

about Islam since his conversion.

As a way to mend fences, they agreed to travel together to Syria to visit

Chavik's relatives. It didn't work out the way Chavik had hoped.

We were in a resort area on the Mediterranean with friends and families there and somehow he broke loose from us and he went to internet cafe.

He just had to be on the internet.

Omar had become obsessed with fundamentalist Islamic forums online,

forums that the security services in Syria kept a close eye on.

So apparently he drew the attention of the secret police that's true.

They stopped them and they were going to put them in jail.
