Tuesday, January 5, 2016
Perhaps Apocalypse Now! is being shown right now in the Middle East. Not as a film.
On 5 July 2014 at the Al-Nuri mosque in Mosul, Iraq, someone calling himself Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi appeared and gave a Fasting Month sermon. He was wearing a black turban and a black robe, he was heavy-set and had a scary face with thick eyebrows; somehow, some procedure led him to being considered the Caliph, the world leader of the Islamic ummat. And from then on, a series of confusing reports have been flowing via the world media about what in English is called IS, Islamic State, or Daesh, an acronym from ad-Dawlah al-Islmiyah fi'l-Irq wa-sh-Shm.
