"Resurrecting the caliphate" refers to the idea of reviving or restoring a caliphate, which is a form of Islamic government led by a caliph, who is considered a religious and political leader. Historically, caliphates were established after the death of the Prophet Muhammad in the 7th century and lasted in various forms until the early 20th century. 

The term often comes up in discussions about political movements that seek to establish a state governed by Islamic law (Sharia) and emphasize a unified Muslim community (Ummah) under a single leader. Groups like ISIS, for example, have used the concept of the caliphate to justify their actions and rally support, claiming to establish a new caliphate in parts of Iraq and Syria.

Resurrecting the caliphate can evoke strong emotions and differing opinions. For some, it symbolizes a return to a historical ideal of Islamic governance, while for others, it raises concerns about extremism, sectarianism, and the implications for global security and human rights.

The Ottoman Caliphate's fall: A story which lives on in Islamic memories


The desire to unite all Muslims under a single power eventually proved illusory, and in March 1924 the Turkish Parliament voted to abolish the caliphate. Certain Islamist movements continue to call for its restoration.

Officially the Ottoman Empire was an Islamic Caliphate ruled by a Sultan, Mehmed V, although it also contained Christians, Jews and other religious minorities. For nearly all of the empire's 600-year existence these non-Muslim subjects endured systematic discrimination and, at times, outright persecution.

The Quran is replete with Surahs directing its followers to violence.

Some examples follow:

Surah 3:151: "We shall cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieve (all non-Muslims) …"

Surah 2:191: "And kill them (non-Muslims) wherever you find them … kill them. Such is the recompense of the disbelievers (non-Muslims)."

This is exactly how some Muslims become self-radicalised after reading their religious texts online and the reason why most moderate Muslims do not condemn extremists of the same faith.

Iran has experienced a significant growth in Christianity, particularly among younger generations. This growth is often attributed to factors such as disillusionment with the political and religious establishment, a desire for spiritual connection and exposure to Western media and culture. It is important to note that Christianity is not officially recognised in Iran, and converts often face persecution, discrimination and death. Despite these challenges, the Christian community in Iran continues to grow and thrive. The Iranian people are not blind, and know that their Islamic Govt is leading them astray.
