国际英语资讯:News Analysis: Al-Baghdadis death no end to IS as long U.S. intervention persists in Midea

According to al-Sheikh, al-Baghdadi was at first peaceful Salafis who wanted states to impose Islamic law but didn't advocate revolt if the states fail to do so.

However, al-Baghdadi quickly gravitated toward those few Salafis whose strict creed led them to call for the overthrow of rulers they considered betrayers of the faith. They called themselves jihadist Salafis.

This shift in his religious faith came after the Americans arrested him in 2004 and transferred him to Camp Bucca, a sprawling complex in Basra in southern Iraq, where he spent 10 months in custody.

Most of the 24,000 inmates at Bucca at the time weren't jihadists when they arrived, but many of them would be by the time they left.

"I believe, like many other Iraqis, that Bucca was a factory that built the extremist IS group ideologies," al-Sheikh added.

Al-Baghdadi was one of those who turned to the Jihadist Salafis inside the U.S. detention and with the passing of years, he was appointed as the top leader the extremist IS in Iraq in 2010.

The new leader of the group announced in 2013 the formation of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), and in 2017 he announced the establishment of a worldwide caliphate, and al-Baghdadi was named its caliph after his group seized some 40 percent of Iraq and large areas in Syria.

Al-Baghdadi's rule is described as brutal and bloody. His religious rules focused on issuing permission, or religious fatwas, to kill men, women and children, as well as controlling women, prosecuting minorities, intimidation, punishment and torture.
