(Washington Times) Clifford D. May - The death of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi deals a devastating blow to the Islamic State. His skills and stature will be difficult to replace. Moreover, in the theology to which he subscribed, it is Allah who decides the outcome of battles and wars. That the caliph could be taken down by Delta Force operators and Army Rangers suggests to the faithful that his mission lacked divine endorsement. The ideology which Baghdadi espoused and the goals for which he fought do not significantly differ from those of al-Qaeda, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Muslim Brotherhood. The strategies these factions employ are not identical. However, all believe in the imperative of Islamic supremacy, envisioning a world ruled by and for Muslims, one in which infidels are at least relegated to an inferior status. All believe in "Death to America!" And all are prepared to wage an "endless war" to achieve their objectives. The writer is president of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies. 2019-10-30 00:00:00Full Article
