Washington Post changes obituary headline to describe Baghdadi as 'austere religious scholar'

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.”

Washington Post changes obituary headline to describe Baghdadi as 'austere religious scholar'...

Ha! And Hitler was just a vegetarian animal lover who reduced unemployment. And Che was a kindly Argentinian doctor....

WAPO didn’t just step on their pecker here, they nuked it from orbit.

They showed their true colors. They can not hide this. The internet is forever. This is hung around their necks till the end of time.

Did John McCain Meet with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the Alleged Head of the Islamic State (ISIS, ISIL, Daesh)?

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

I hear he could be rather strict at times too.

I don’t even think Babylon Bee could top that headline.

The wapo did this because militant m*zzies yelled and screamed, as they always do.

An icon of the left kills democracy by wrapping the truth in a shroud of darkness.
