He has no democratic mandate, no consensus. He unilaterally decides who lives and who dies. The people he kills have no counsel, no rights, no hearing of evidence, no appeals. He uses bombs. He tortures the one sycophant he calls a friend. His story is wholly unverified, just him presenting whatever history he believes is best for his cause. And all based a revisionist bullshit romanticized version of a real world sectarian terrorist.
