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.”

And the left can’t understand why Trump didn’t notify the Demedia in government that he was about to take this murdering POS out.

Just one more example out of countless examples that we have a tremendous problem with the media in this country. I mean look at this, it’s like we have ISIS running the WaPo. These mofos are traitors.

Sure would have been nice if the military had an attack hog to send down the tunnel after that POS.

Some guy at the atlantic wrote a very good article about his death.

I nearly fainted.

Broken clock.

The whole obit was about how he was a serious conservative professor until the US turned him into an avenging warrior.

He detonated his vest, killed himself and his three children!

[Flick Lives]

Describing al-Baghdadi as an “austere religious scholar” is like describing the Washington Post as a newspaper.

[firebrand]

It’s “aggressive resistance.”

Once again, I post to you:

[grey_whiskers]

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.

‘Wag the...Dog?” (President Trump said he died like a dog, right?)

H/T to bagster.

As he was running away screaming and crying from our troops.

According to Washington Post sources, Mr Al-Baghdadi succumbed from injuries resulting from an unfortunate fireworks accident that occurred in the basement of his house. Three of his children also died in the accident. Reportingly, they were preparing a celebration to memorializing a recent beheading of ISIS prisoners.
