The Washington Post had an interesting headline calling him an "Austire Relgious Scholar and the Helm of the Islamic State".... Strange phrasing. For those that don't know, after being contained by U.S. forces he killed himself and his children with a suicide vest in lieu of surrendering.... But, it shows the power religous influence has over some publications... Probably one of the worst people ever, who killed himself in one of the worse ways ever, but still praise. The story behind the Post's headline, was originally they called him an extremist, but had backlash, so changed it to religious scholar, got backlash, changed it back (you can google the current form of the article). |

Because he used his kids as a hostage scenerio, and then killed them anyway to avoid capture. |

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |

What is wrong with it? Seems like Trump has the right ideas. The President is a fink. |

| AZDuffman Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 135 Posts: 18193 | How Obama looked.  How Trump looked:  Easy to see which one was taking things more serious. The President is a fink. |

Yup, Obama. (PS - the photo of Donny was a staged “smile for the camera” photo taken after the raid was mostly over). “A straight man will not go for kids.” - AZDuffman |

| Gandler Member since: Aug 15, 2019 Threads: 27 Posts: 4256 | I am shocked so many people have never heard of him. He has been the head of ISIS since 2013/2014 and has been a high level terrorist since the early 2000s, been a high value target for many years. Lots of money on his head from many countries. Very terrible person. Probably worse than Bin Laden (in my view) for his massacres and slavery he has caused.... But he is also a religious scholar. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Bakr_al-Baghdadi |
