Caliphate is also correct, but this referes more to the Ottoman empire. The Ottoman empire was regared as the last Khilafah. Osama and the Taliban also wanted to establish one in Afghanistan.

The Khilafah is the state of the Ummah (islamic community)

There are numerous websites about the Khilafah

www.islamic-state.org/khilafah
www.khilafah.org
www.khilafah.com
www.geocities.com/harkatulkhilafah
www.hizb-ut-tahrir.org/english/english.html
www.ramadhan.org/1421/

They even got a site here in the Netherlands:

http://www.expliciet.nl/

It contains also some links to international Khilafah movements. http://www-personal.umich.edu/~luqman/Belief/Khilafah/partI.html

Khilafah is the political system in Islam. It is responsible for implementing the Islamic system (be it social, economic, educational, foreign policy,...) and maintaining its implementation. It is also responsible for spreading the message of Islam to the world. Khilafah is the Islamic state which the Prophet (pbuh) sought to create and worked for in Mecca, for a period of thirteen years, until he (pbuh) established it Medina.

If you read some of the stuff on their sites, you can realize these people are dangerous and organized.

Also a while ago there was a picture of a European islamic cleric. On the background there was the black Khilafah flag.

Also the www.muslimstudent.org.uk site is down, but here are two documents that were on their site:

Also look at reply #9 for another 'leaflet' of that same site. TopQuark posted it as a seperate thread, but I can't find it anymore.

Thanks for the ping.

Why do Arab leaders prefer to finance refugee camps in the West Banks rather than inviting Palestinians to settle in their own countries? Why Arab countries don't follow the example of America who has given asylum to persecuted people of all races and creeds, including many Arabs? Why are Arab leaders more interested to take away some land from Israel?an extremely small country? than give some of their own land to their Palestinian Muslim brethren?

Well duh! They want the Israelis out and any peace treaty over there is just a Muslim joke. We all know that.

Ultimately the most compelling example of the difference between the teaching of the Koran and that of the Bible on the use of violence, is the unselfish and compassionate service offered by dedicated Christians even to Muslim terrorists.

True. It will take a lot of the Christian ideal of martyrdom, not the bomb-belt Islamic kind. The Muslims kill our missionaries. But the Muslims are living in darkness so terrible...
