Amir al-Mu'minin
The Brookings Institution reported the Mullah referred to his own leadership as "Commander of the faithful", a translation of Amir al-Mu'minin. A separate source states the Mullah used this particular title to refer to his role as leader of jihad. The Mullah was, according to RAND corporation, and elsewhere, leading a jihad (i.e. an "insurgent force") limited to concerns orientated only to within Afghanistan, and not elsewhere.
