Baghdadi: IS will fight to last man
2014-11-14
[ARABNEWS] The head of the Lion of Islam State group has said it will fight to the last man.

The comments by the murderous Moslem group's leader, Abu Bakr Baghdadi, came in an audio statement, his first since a US-led alliance began conducting Arclight airstrikes targeting the group in Iraq and Syria.

In the statement, released Thursday on social media networks, he says his fighters "will never leave fighting, even if only one soldier remains."

The recording appeared authentic, and his voice appeared to correspond with previous recordings released by the group.

Baghdadi's statement came after rumors that he was maimed in an Arclight airstrike. It was not clear whether the recording was made before or after the incident.

He also said a US-led military campaign against his group in Syria and Iraq was failing. "Despite this Crusade campaign being the most fierce and severe of all, it is the greatest failure. We see America and its allies stumbling in fear, weakness, impotence and failure."

The speech was not dated but carried a reference to a Nov. 7 US announcement that President Barack Obama
Itâs very rare that I come to an event where Iâm like the fifth- or sixth-most interesting person....
had approved sending up to 1,500 more US troops to Iraq.

"Oh soldiers of the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
...erupt volcanoes of jihad everywhere. Light the earth with fire against all dictators," Baghdadi said.

#4  That's the way it works over there, the leaders live in lavish comfort and the followers bleed and die for the "cause"

The leaders give the perverts the excuse they need to do something that they need an excuse to do, and in return perverts pay their "leaders" well.
