Whats in a name? ISIS Leader. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi After Mohammed died (632), an assembly of Moslems in Mecca elected- Abu Bakr- as the first ‘khalifat rasul Allah’ (successor of the Prophet of God), or caliph. Under him the collection of Mohammed’s revelations was recorded in the Koran. Abu Bakr suppressed tribal uprisings and brought central Arabia under Moslem control, after which he directed Arab armies into Iraq and Syria initiating thus the Moslem conquests. And Al Baghdadi? Means from Baghdad, Clearly an affirmation of their intent to take over the capital and subdue all of Iraq. All of this is cleverly engineered, any way you look at it.
