The Washington Post apparently changed the headline of their obituary of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi from "terrorist-in-chief" to describe him as an “austere religious scholar.”

U.S. forces killed Baghdadi Saturday after a successful raid on a compound in northern Syria.

While many celebrated the death of the serial rapist and murderer, the Washington Post left many confused by giving him the title of “austere religious scholar at the helm of the Islamic State.”

He was a terrorist leader and should be called that.

Shame on the WP.

New Correction—Third time and all.
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, extremist leader of Islamic State, dies at 48
He was an austere religious scholar who used a mix of brutality and pragmatism to spur the terrorist group’s rise.

An innocent man who was released from prison by President Obama was targeted and killed by Federal agents acting on advice from President Trump...

No hint that he wasn’t a man spreading peace, love and good will upon all men on earth.

I expected nothing less from our Democrat media.

The thing scrolling across the bottom of the screen on Faux News is referring to him as an “ultra-conservative cleric”.

Austere Muslim Scholar who tortured and killed human beings some who were journalists,, beheading them on video, an austere Muslim scholar?

Buahahahahahahahahahahah!

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi wanted to meet 72 Virgins but instead he met 72 Virginians, pursued down a hole by a US Special forces dog,a heroic dog, the very loyal animal hated by Mohamed.No martyr is he.And hardly an austere Muslim Scholar. He was a genocidal maniac, a religio-fascist.

Kudos to President Donald J. Trump and our brave mission patriots!

The Left would call out policies under Stalin as “ultra-conservative Communism” if they could.

This ISIS scumbag was not just their spiritual leader, he was also their chief recruiter.

Bitter lying LOSERS at the WP, lying again.
