Reports of his death were greatly exaggerated.
It was s previously reported that the ISIS caliph was dead from Russian airstrikes. More Russia fake news.
Al-Baghdadi congratulated his followers on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, an Islamic holiday, and called on ISIS’s followers to persevere, in newly released audio claiming to be his first speech in nearly a year. Celebrate and murder, how very devout.

An audio recording of the Islamic State leader – who was previously reported dead from Russian airstrikes – purportedly resurfaced Wednesday evening on a website run by the extremist group.
In the 54-minute recording titled, “Give Glad Tidings to the Patient,” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi made multiple references to current affairs. If the voice on the audio is confirmed to be that of al-Baghdadi, it would indicate he is still alive.
Al-Baghdadi congratulated his followers on the occasion of Eid al-Adha, an Islamic holiday, and referenced Turkey’s recent quarrel with the U.S. over its detention of American pastor Andrew Brunson.

He purportedly said “America is going through the worse time in its entire existence,” and said Russia was competing with the U.S. over regional influence and clout.
Al-Baghdadi’s whereabouts has eluded captors since the rise of the Islamic State. His only public appearance was in 2014 in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. His last know audio recording was released on Sept. 28, 2017.
Russia claims Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in an airstrike in late MayThere have been recurring reports of his death or injury, including reports by Russian officials last year who said there was a “high probability” that al-Baghdadi was killed in a Russian airstrike on the outskirts of the Syrian city of Raqqa. U.S. officials later said they believed he was still alive. He is believed to be hiding in the desert that stretches in the Syrian-Iraqi border region.
The Islamic State has lost around 90 percent of the lands bordering Iraq and Syria since declaring a caliphate in June 2014.

The Middle East needs another tune up.
In order to unglog the exhaust pipelines
And clean the catalytic converter of non secularism.
Chemicals are poured onto the entire region including the carburetor and this ignites when the engine is reved up until it almost explodes….
Then nasty smelling ISIS sprays out the tailpipe
And everything runs way better..and the rotten egg smells are gone as Islam dissapears from relevance… like a fart in the wind.

In Canada they seem to be represented by Justin Trudeau’s Liberals and the NCCM ( National Council of Canadian Muslims ), both intent on banning free speech, both hate democracy and both intent on destroying the country.

Could this be a recording he made earlier before he supposedly died?
Is there any way to DATE this recording?
The problem is that when you smack down ONE group of Muslim terrorists another one pops up.
Trump is going to run into that if he hasn’t already. It’s crazy ISLAM that promotes this.
It will be a never ending battle where ever ISLAM is.

According to the logic of the MSM, ISIS is not a terrorist group. It is merely a group of 24,000 mentally ill men named Mohammad.

Maybe it’s a ruse, perhaps he really is dead, the Muslims just want us to think he isn’t, as a psychological weapon!

Ah-h-h-h yes, the great and noble al-Baghdadi, goading on his young, clueless and uneducated jihadi followers with marching orders to do a job he himself won’t do. Almost like Bush when he said “illegals will do the jobs Americans won’t do …”
Remember? Must be a connection …
