TTP rejected Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's
claim to be the global leader of all Muslims. The TTP's statement
comes after a similar rejection by the Afghan Taliban following
pledges of allegiance from low-level commanders of both Islamist
movements to the Middle East-based IS. "Baghdadi is not Khalifa
(caliph) because in Islam, Khalifa means that he has command over
all the Muslim world, while Baghdadi has no such command he has
command over a specific people and territory," the Pakistan Taliban
said in a statement. "Baghdadi is not a Islamic Khalifa because
his selection is not according to Islamic rules," the statement
said, adding that the IS leader had little control in Muslim countries
like Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Afghanistan.
