| 2016-02-03 |
| [Iran Press TV] A street bearing the name of the Daesh [Islamic State] Takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed... terrorist group's warlord, 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... , in the Saudi capital Riyadh has made the news after Saudi citizens called for changing the street name. A Saudi teacher, Ahmad al-Hakami, posted a comment on the official twitter account of Riyadh's municipality, saying it was "better to change the street name" in a bid not to echo the name of the Daesh [Islamic State] terrorist leader, Saudi online newspaper Sabq reported. |
