you can't recognize an idiot driven and motivated to engage in conflict to make a point the fact that he who advocate for violence tells people exactly who baghdadi wasn't that is the significant difference in Intelligence analyst and Journalist one wants to celebrate the ugly truth the other seeks to end the violence and terror

How’s he a scholar? Let alone a student of knowledge this guy never studied with any sheiukh if I’m not mistaken Allahu Alam but do you have any evidence of Baghdadi studying with any teacher on fiqh Aqeedah etc?

[@Om3gla]

Not just baghadi this goes for also people like zarqawi nd other khariji group leaders? Have they studied under proper Sheiukh gaining Islamic Knowledge?

In one meeting where all the Sunni Tribal Sheikhs in Iraq and Syria had a meeting with the Leadership Council & Intelligence officers of Islamic State and its amazing how you notice that these tribe leaders at first were shy but then Sheikh Al Baghdadi invites everyone to speak honestly and without fear in order to unite and work together and forgive each other...
