Al-Baghdadi failed his studies, was rejected from the army, says German newspaper
2015-02-23
[IraqiNews.com] The German newspaper 'Suddeutsche' revealed new details about the past life of ISIS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us...
through interviews that were conducted with residents in the city of Samarra, the hometown of al-Baghdadi. According to their testimonies, he failed his studies and was rejected from former Iraqi Army.

The newspaper said in a report, quoting people in Samarra who knew al-Baghdadi, "He failed in each academic year because of his extremely poor level of English."

The newspaper added, "Al-Baghdadi was considered one of the intermediate students in the school; his grades were very low and did not serve him to in joining the University of Baghdad to study law, so he studied Islamic Sharia instead, which contributed in his ideology of ​​extremism."

One of the city's residents and n aex-Baghdadi neighbor stated that, "He loved having power and influence, and was the third of four brothers. He was rejected from the former Iraqi Army because he was short sighted.
He should have kept a lower profile, perhaps considered a 'senior visiting lecturer' venue at the University of Chicago Law School.
