The woman who is allowing thousands of his trained operatives into Germany took the top honor.

(B911) – Time magazine has named Abu-Bakr Al-Baghdadi (The Islamic State Leader) as the runner-up for its Person of the Year award.

The candidate was chosen by the publication’s editors because “as leader of Isis, [he] has inspired followers to both fight in his self-declared caliphate of Iraq and Syria, and also stage attacks in countries like Tunisia and France”.

Time says the shortlist is for a person, object or idea which, ‘for better or for worse…has done the most to influence the events of the year.’

In 2015, the IS leader transformed a breakaway al-Qaeda group into a “transnational terrorist franchise”, killing more than 1,600 people in over 80 attacks in 20 countries in 18 months.
