New format: some readers have advised me to introduce more structure into this sort of a long-ish post, with executive summaries for browsers on the go. So, here goes:

-The Islamic State of Iraq was founded as the harbinger of the caliphal state—the newborn Islamic Empire.
-The followers of Abu Musaab al-Zarqawi represent a whole new generation, and ideological strain, in the world of jihad, surpassing the old-timers such as Osama Bin Laden.
-Contrary to previous claims, the U.S. military has revised its earlier assertion that the pseudonymous leader of the Islamic State of Iraq, Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, is a fictitious character, now claiming that a real person performs his role. Al-Baghdadi is supposed to be the new caliph, or the supreme temporal and religious leader, of Islam."
