ISIS Confirms al-Baghdadi’s Death, Names Abu Ibrahim al-Qurayshi New Leader
He claims he is a direct descendant from Prophet Muhammad.
ISIS confirmed the deaths of leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and spokesman Abu al-Hasan al-Muhajir in an audio message.
The terrorist group also named Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi as its new leader.
A U.S. raid led to al-Baghdadi’s death. Military dogs cornered him in a tunnel where he detonated a suicide vest.
He killed three of his children because he used them as a human shield.
President Donald Trump announced earlier this week troops eliminated al-Baghdadi’s top replacement. Trump did not name the man.
The world does not know much about al-Qurayshi. He claims he is a direct descendant from Prophet Muhammad.
Former Sunni scholars believed that lineage qualified a person to become “a caliph, the religious-political ruler of a caliphate.”
From The Washington Examiner:
His background or further information about him was not discussed in the recording, and his name has not been among those publicly discussed as replacements for Baghdadi since the raid.
“America, don’t you realize that the Islamic State is now at the forefront of Europe and West Africa? It is extended from the East to the West,” the recording reportedly says. “Don’t you see that you have become a laughing stock to the world. Your destiny is controlled by an old fool who goes to sleep with one opinion and wakes up with another. Do not celebrate or get arrogant.”
New spokesman Abu Hamza al-Qurashi demanded “Muslims to swear allegiance to” al-Qurayshi.
The Pentagon released footage of the raid that killed al-Baghdadi.

“…Do not celebrate or get arrogant.”
Oh, wait, too late!!!!!!!!!
The apocalyptic teachings of the Islamist heresy deliberately insulate their cannon fodder from catastrophic defeat: they tell their subordinates that is what’s supposed to happen. First there is utter defeat, and then the Islamist heresy re-consititues as the heir to every square inch of land ever held by a “muslim” regime.
This makes it easy for the next fake Calipf to recruit young fools.

Dear Ibby,
Would it be possible to call me at your earliest convenience?
Well, the new ‘bulls eye’ certainly has a pedigree.
pfft. they’re all descended from the prophet mohammed over there. Or so they say.
They’re descended from Mohammed like Warren is a Cherokee.
The real question, who has what’s left of the $200,000,000 million?
He claims he is a direct descendant from Prophet Muhammad.
So, he must claim to be a Sayyid, a descendant of Fatima, the only daughter of Muhammad acknowledged by both Shiites and adherents of the Sunna.
Unfortunately, Sunnis insist that the line for a proper caliph descends from Muhammad’s father-in-law, Abu Bakr, and not through Ali ibn Abi Talib, his cousin and son-in-law (that is, the husband of Fatima), a major point of contention between Sunnis and Shiites. Getting Muslims worldwide—by a large majority, Sunnis—to acknowledge this guy as a caliph-in-waiting could be an uphill battle. Just another excuse to massacre each other, I suppose.
“”Just another excuse to massacre each other, I suppose.””
I’d suggest we let them fight it out among themselves and leave us out of it. OTOH, it doesn’t seem like Iran has any trouble getting along with Sunni terrorists.
Cool, a new target. I’m betting he doesn’t last very long.
Qurayshi – meet Conan!
One of the better memes I saw was one where there was a picture of the child molesting isis idiots all dressed up with AK47’s acting like they’re not scared with the caption “How isis sees themselves”.
Underneath was a caption “How we see isis”, and it was a thermal image from a gun camera taken at night.
They all look alike, through night vision optics.
