The Ummah is protecting him. The whole of the West is after the Muslim leader, and he’s still alive. It says a great deal about his support.
ISIS releases alleged al-Baghdadi tape, as shadowy leader appears to again escape death
By Katherine Lam, Fox NewsA cryptic new audio message purported to be from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi appears to prove the shadowy ISIS strongman has cheated death yet again, despite Moscow’s claims he was killed in battle.
Story continues below advertisementThe 46-minute recording, released by Al-Furqan news organization, was the first time the world has heard from the jihadist leader since November 2016, when the last speech was released. It’s unclear when the recording was created.
But there’s some evidence it was recorded recently.
Baghdadi referenced North Korean threats made toward the United States and Japan, Reuters reported. MEMRI, a nonprofit organization which translates Arabic, Farsi, Urdu-Pashtu, Dari and Turkish media, is conducting a full analysis of the speech.
Several officials and organizations claimed al-Baghdadi had died in the last few months, leaving many to wonder if the terror leader who’s escaped numerous assassination attempts had finally been killed. Russian officials in July said it was a “high probability” that the leader died in a Russian airstrike on the outskirts of Raqqa, Syria a month earlier. But there was no body or images to prove the death.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an organization that has a good record in reporting ISIS news, also claimed in July al-Baghdadi had died, citing a high-ranking ISIS source.
“[We have] confirmed information from leaders, including one of the first rank, in the Islamic State in the eastern countryside of Deir al-Zor,” the director of the British-based war monitoring group Rami Abdulrahman told Reuters.
But Thursday’s recording of the leader, who has only been seen in public once, seems to show he has cheated death once again.
The Pentagon never confirmed al-Baghdadi’s death. U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Stephen Townsend also told The Associated Press in late August he didn’t believe the rumors.
“Do I believe he’s alive? Yes,” Townsend said. “There are also some indicators in intelligence channels that he’s alive.”
The emergence of the leader comes more than two months after U.S.-backed Iraqi forces declared “total victory” over ISIS in Mosul. Iraq has taken full control of its second-largest city three years after the extremists were able to seize it in an attempt to build a so-called global caliphate.

This story of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, the caliph of the Islamic State still being alive reminds me of a notorious Nazi doctor who was never caught and died of old age in Brazil, that is Dr. Josef Mengele. It is likely that the caliph of the Islamic state will be protected and hidden by the Islamic Ummah and will be very difficult to capture or kill.

Trump can't ban islam
Mainly because the west has forgotten the cost it took to give them the freedom they now have to throw it all away. The conquistadors were cruel and efficient and both were refined by the 400 years it took to recover all of Spain. If it is worthwhile, it IS worth fighting for and yes, dying for. Maybe a few thousand deaths in the west (hopefully of lunatic leftists) will wake them up, but I doubt that the global masters will allow this.

He drowned attempting to cross swim the huge parana river, in Argentina, in the 70s….many years later of living in hiding like a nazi rat, under a fake identity. Western Intelligence supposedly discovered that many years later.
I can clearly see the likes of our Pakistani allies and other false Muslim allies/friends doing the same for Abu and other favourite terrorists of us. They did it for Bin laden.

The lefty governments like that as it justifies their existence. They (the fatass bureaucrats) are needed, first to import the invaders, then to care for them, then to defend us from them. How about we deport the socialists along with their Muslim pets?

When the muslums and their collaborators implement islamic blasphemy and heresy laws in the USA under other auspices maybe you’ll have time to rethink that position, senator McCain.

That’s not good. His speech might encourage more attacks.
Everyone should stay alert….though don’t panic. Learn what to do in active-shooter/bombing situations, learn self-defense, etc.

Agreed. We need to regularly request cost of surveillance and other counter-terrorism information from police and government departments and chart the year on year increase. We already know that de-radicalisation programmes are prone to failure and Muslim communities regularly push back on initiatives such as the UK Prevent programme in schools. And we need to be asking our politicians which budgets are being cut back in order to finance surveillance, law enforcement and incarceration initiatives.
