ISIS Appoints A Former Physics Teacher As The New Caliph
Abu Alaa Afri is the new stand-in leader. “After Baghdadi’s wounding, he [Afri] has begun to head up Daesh [arabic term for ISIS] with the help of officials responsible for other portfolios,” He will be the leader of Daesh if Baghdadi dies.” said Hashimi.

why would it matter if hes dead?
These people know they are destined to die, they seek it out, you dont think that have people in the wings to replace the leaders?
Every power structure does, ISIS is no different

Fake Muslim or not, there are crazy Muslims out there (Neo-Khawarij) who will blow themselves up despite the fact that Suicide is strictly forbidden in Islam.

The problem comes when they kill innocent people in the process. Again, that's how their small, twisted minds work. Kill yourself and innocent people= go to paradise.
Sounds ridiculous, right?

What exactly are you on about? Butting into who?
And who hates me?
You might want to clarify what you're accusing me of because frankly, I don't get what you're on about.

this changing of the Caliph is just what the Turks ordered.... to wrest control of the IS Caliphate from the Sunni Jihadists who share control if IS with the old guard Baathists of Saddam
the Turks are bound and determined to resurrect a neo-Ottoman Caliphate...here's their chance--- and to demote ISIS into just a 'compliance patrol' to enforce strict Sharia and Salafist/Wahabbist core beliefs... but to grow the Caliphate into a Global State across many borders.
