Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, rapist, led genocidal 'caliphate,' died in tunnel
2019-10-29
Belt your socks on, dear Reader. This one’s a doozie.
[Jpost] Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was a rapist. Like most jihadists, his main motivation was murder and genocide, combined with far-Right religious hatred. In Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
, the organization and "state" that he led, he was able to exploit various strands of followers to create the closest thing the Middle East has seen to a short-lived, Nazi-style country.

He spent his days as leader raping women the group had kidnapped while his men died on the front lines. Like Hitler, he enjoyed the good life while his Sunni soldiers suffered under the bombs of the US-led coalition and struggled to stop the rising tide of Shi’ite militias and Kurdish fighters arrayed against them.

#4  Armed robbery and destroying anything deemed un-Islamic. There was a fair amount of that going on.

#3  History is full of such muslim leaders, their followers were all motivated by rape and bloodlust justified by their psychopathic doctrines.

I think armed robbery is also a component.

#1   Abu Bakr Baghdadi (Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Ali) should go down in history recognized as a Caliph of true islam, equal to the Rashiduns, Umayyads and Turkic caliphs. Any 'moderate muslims' that deny his status as a representative of islam are either mistaken or just hiding their beliefs.

History is full of such muslim leaders, their followers were all motivated by rape and bloodlust justified by their psychopathic doctrines. Modern islam is only different from old islam in that it has guns instead of swords. Let this bastard's death be a symbol of things to come for all islam.
