Quraishi was one of the most respected of Baghdadis lieutenants. He continues to carry that respect, but he, of course, does not carry as much weight as Baghdadi, who founded the group and led its sweep throughout the Middle East, sparking the creation of ISIS provinces around the world and a propaganda machine that reaches as far as the shores of Australia and the cities of the United States, while Quraishi is viewed as a more than capable replacement, he is unlikely to overshadow Baghdadis legacy.
