they need to start using a fake person, a decoy if you wish, to be the head of ISIS. how hard is that? not a real person. why do they keep naming the next person to be droned? terrorists are stupid.

They probably need to identify a flesh-and-bone person to let them know what their favorite immaterial spirit cannot say out loud. So, congratulations to old fighter Abu al-Husain al-Husaini al-Quraishi (AaHaHaQ to his close friends). May his leadership endure half as long as the last guy.

Besides, the true leadership would inevitably leak as members inform those sympathizers around the globe who wish to pledge allegiance to the new head of the group.
