Quotes
-
Eva Geller : "Masih" in Arabic means "messiah".
Katherine Bailey : So, this is a cult?
Eva Geller : Possibly. ISIL use this type of apocalyptic propaganda all the time, and to good effect. This guy's just taken it to the next level.
Katherine Bailey : So, he's some rival faction? Al-Qaeda?
Eva Geller : We don't know who he's associated with.
Katherine Bailey : What do we know about him?
Eva Geller : Well, that's the concerning thing. He's come out of nowhere and he's leading desperate people into the desert.
Katherine Bailey : To what end?
Eva Geller : Well, if it's a cult, he could be leading them to their death. Or he could be creating an army.
Katherine Bailey : An army of sick and starving refugees?
Eva Geller : He's creating a cause, in the hope that other people will join him.
Katherine Bailey : That's a lot of speculation, Eva.
Eva Geller : It's my job to speculate, ma'am. He has over 2,000 followers. What if he turns out to be another al-Baghdadi?
