...an austere religious scholar with wire-frame glasses and no known aptitude for fighting and killing...
... Mr. Baghdadi maintained a canny pragmatism as leader...
...“He was the guy who could build bridges between the foreign fighters and local Iraqis”...
...Mr. Baghdadi “proved himself to be a capable and cagey leader, politically”...
...Acquaintances would remember him as a shy, nearsighted youth who liked soccer but preferred to spend his free time at the local mosque...
...“He always had religious or other books attached on the back of his bike”...
...at age 31, he was well on his way to a doctorate and a shot at a full professorship...
...“Prepare your arms, and supply yourselves with piety. Persevere in reciting the Koran with comprehension of its meanings and practice of its teachings,” Mr. Baghdadi said. “This is my advice to you. If you hold to it, you will conquer Rome and own the world.”

An obituary is supposed to say what a man was like and their work in life, and Al-Baghdadi was not a frothing at the mouth deranged lunatic, nor was Osama Bin Laden.

Tell that to Kayla.
And yes, he was a 'frothing at the mouth deranged lunatic'!
What the hell is wrong with you?
The white liberal differs from the white conservative only in one way:
the liberal is more deceitful than the conservative. The liberal is more hypocritical than the conservative. Both want power, but the white liberal is the one who has perfected the art of posing as the Negro's friend and benefactor; and by winning the friendship, allegiance, and support of the Negro, the white liberal is able to use the Negro as a pawn or tool in this political "football game" that is constantly raging between the white liberals and white conservatives.

Deranged lunatics do not rise to positions of power and prominence.

No, I'm quite aware of him.
If you knew anything about him you would also know he was neither deranged nor a lunatic. Though he has been characterised that way by popular historiography which if anything serves to mitigate the horrendous acts of the Third Reich. No longer is it a cautionary tale of the dangers of a modern, civilised nation being misled by a demagogue.
