Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a ready-made caliphate king in the Time of Obama
Canada Free Press ^ | August 13, 2014 | By Judi McLeod

Media hype rides on romanticizing revolutions no matter how evil in bloodlust and by creating tantalizing mysteries and myths around their heinous leaders.

Pumping the mythical, the mysteries and plain mist around the likes of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State, formerly the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIS), they believe will draw in readers and viewers like flies to spilled honey.

“No one knows anything about him. “He can be a Robin Hood. He could be Dr. Evil. It’s very hard to fight a myth,” said Patrick Skinner of the Soufan Group, a security consulting firm.” (NBC News June 16, 2014)

If Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s a Robin Hood, then Barack Obama’s an America-loving president.

Baghdadi’s a 42-year-old Samarra-born jihadist yahoo who went all the way from a U.S. detention camp to the top of the jihadist universe and a $10 million bounty on his head with no one barring his way.

Like so many freed from Club Gitmo, Baghdadi always got a pass.

The same goes for glorifying Marxist scumbags.

The stark contrast in Islam as portrayed by IS in Iraq/Syria will be used to further acceptance in the US and Europe of so-called “moderate” Islam as if it is a benign form of Islam. “Moderate” Islam is an imagined form of Islam that does not exist especially for Muslims. Islam is Islam to them. Muslims are silent on what Westerners, us, call “moderate or extreme” Islam as the terms do not exist in Islam as the former Prime Minister and current President of Turkey has noted in his former statement that “Islam is Islam”, period.

The new Muslim political party, the USMCO, the US Muslim COuncil of Oraganisations, has just been formed this year to further the cause of the Muslim Brotherhood in the US which is advancing under “moderate” banners but with the same goals as Hamas, AL Q, and IS itself ultimately. Here is a link to the USMCO, currently dedicated to marshaling all Islamic forces in the US for political election of as many Muslims as possible, especially focusing on the 2016 elections:

IS Caliphate will be used to whitewash “moderate” Islam’s expansion in the US. It is a mistake to consider any Ilamic political movement as “moderate” and therefore as acceptable.

This little factoid will bury the RATS if used against them in Nov.

Can you fit ‘Freed from GITMO’ in your title?

People are going to over look the ‘in between the lines’ of the comment in the article:

“Islamic State, formerly the Islamic State of Iraq”

The media is crowning him or at least giving him an air of legitimacy when in fact it’s a civil war and sectarian fighting all rolled into one.

The MSM marginalizes, demonizes and then criminalizes the conservatives in this country, yet they immediately crown the thugocracy building in Iraq, formally known as Iraq.

Why don’t they do a story on where they get their funding from? I know now that they have been looting banks and probably confiscating valuables tradeable commodities from the Christians they’re slaughtering ... but that begs the question who is selling them the first rate gear that the media is pointing out as they are well equipped and well funding even before plundering the Christians.

I believe it’s Turkey fighting a proxy war with Iran for the Caliphate that everybody thinks is inevitable.

Haven’t you heard? Al Baghdadi is really a Mossad plant! Oh yeah! According to some virulent anti-Semites, he’s really an Israeli in deep cover! The Zionists are trying to cause World War 3! IT’S THE JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS!

Economically it isn’t viable to keep these ‘things’ in any prison. Worse still to let them out. They should be put out of their misery immediately - consider it ‘humanitarian aid’.
