I dont know if you mean "press conference" of something, but the face of Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi is quite known..
I want to ask you guys something, do you guys actually want this "caliph system" to come back to the muslim community? If yes, (or no), why?
Yes, something that he gave a speech to the world. Something that we can clarify his background. Something that assure people if he is real or just a puppet.
As for caliph system. First we need to understand what is the caliph system.
From my understanding it is a system where a leader is elected by the majlis syura to lead the state. The caliph role is not, never inherited.
So what is majlis syura?
My understanding again that the majlis syura is where the state's, people's, religion's interest is discussed and debated.
The majlis syura is made off people representative of their community.
By these understanding I'd like to summarize that in the caliph system the people elects their representatives into majlis syura (parliment?) and the representatives elects the caliph (prime minister?).
I'll summarize further that the caliph system is actually a form of democracy.
However the caliph system championed by IS does not seem to have the basis of community electing their representative.
It is simply forcing another to accept its rule by brute force (dictatorship?).
