The bloodthirsty leader of the Islamic State was once a secretary working in office admin, newly released documents have revealed. Brutal Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was captured by American soldiers in 2004 in Iraq, and records from the time have revealed his life before he turned to terror.

The declassified documents show that al-Baghdadi - registered under his real name of Ibrahim Awad Ibrahim Al Badr - was held for 10 months in a military prison in the south of the country.

The terrorist's status was listed as 'civilian detainee', which reveal he was not then officially thought to be an insurgent. His occupation was written as 'Administrative Work (Secretary)'.

...The Iraq War is over , WE WON !!!!.
...The orphaned and tattered remnants which remain within the lands of confusion now puff out their little chests and pretend to fight some type of self proclaimed Holy War which is laughable at best,as this is nothing more than a one sided exercise in futility, and as such should be pitied !.
...The massive and utter predominant Christian hoards will not descend upon these Vultures , but not because of tolerance,as you are led to believe , but rather, because Christianity has risen so very far above these worthless infidels which have now become unworthy of salvation or even death at the hands of the Worlds Christian Might !!!.

From his Wikipedia page, “According to a biography that circulated on jihadist internet forums in July 2013, he obtained a BA, MA, and PhD in Islamic studies from the Islamic University of Baghdad.”

ISIS has declared Al-Baghdadi the new Caliph. They are attempting to reconstitute a Caliphate where every Muslim must submit or be declared an apostate. All elected leaders and secular dictators go against the Koran. They are also apostates and the literal reading of the Koran declares their life forfeit. This is why Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and even Iran are concerned. The more land ISIS controls, the more legit they seem, the more Muslims will join their cause.

They have the potential to be something very different from al-qaeda. The ISIS leaders actually look down on al-qaeda as not being true to Islam and the Koran.

Adolf Eichmann once worked as a shoe company salesman.

So evil people once had respectable careers.

It doesn’t take that much to become a mass murderer.

“So evil people once had respectable careers”

That puts a crimp in O Drama’s claim that terrorists would not be terrorists if they had jobs? WOW, who knew. (sarc)
