Islam is a religion of peace, right? Well, opinions vary. I've known peaceful Muslims and I've known some nut jobs. The real question is: When do the nut jobs become so numerous in Islam such that the general character of Islam assumes that of the nut jobs?
Imagine, if you will, the Vatican expanding its borders to encompass Italy, then Europe, then North Africa, the Middle East and West Asia through bloody warfare. And imagine inside its borders contraception outlawed, mandatory Sunday mass, and morning and evening prayers enforced. You can keep your Protestantism but you will be specially taxed. You get the idea. Would Catholicism be evil at that point or could we still not judge Catholicism because there would still be a few people like me who don't think any of this is a good idea?
The same must be asked of Islam. And if there are any who think that Islam and Caliphate are apples and oranges then let's take a closer look.
Ever see an Arab flag? Of course you have. Almost without exception there is black, white, green, and red.
But why so similar? What do the colors mean? Well, here you go:
The flags are all derivatives of the Flag of the Arab Revolt
Black = the banner of the Rashidun Caliphate
White = the banner of the Umayyid Caliphate
Green = the banner of the Fatimid Caliphate
Red = the Hashemite Dynasty--leaders of the Arab Revolt
The flag was suggested by the Allies in WWI as a rally flag for the Arab Revolt that led to the FALSE belief that the Arabs would get their own caliphate after the Ottoman Empire fell. The Ottomans fell, WWI ended, and the Arabs were stabbed in the back with borders redrawn and dictators installed to keep the peace among disparate societies while keeping the trade routes open.
So the very flags of the region are dripping with CALIPHATE all over them. They are a reminder to the west of a broken promise. They've been there since 1917. And ISIL is here to see that promise fulfilled.
So on the one hand you have a divided Middle East--not necessarily a bad thing since another caliphate would mean another super power to destroy but the warfare between the ME states and among their own people is a result of the west's calumny. On the other hand, if you want to correct the sins of the past you must acknowledge that a caliphate WILL be formed and in this case WILL be expanded, and that Islam will in fact, without much dissention EQUAL The Caliphate.
There it is right in front of us. It has been there for decades as a reminder: Maybe for the past hundred years Islam has NOT exactly been equal to The Caliphate or a desire for a Caliphate but who can deny the progress made to that goal?
Islam is not as reformed as it should be. It's not as modern, not as evolved as it should be. So what? It is cancerous. When does the cancer that is radical Islam seeking a world wide caliphate grow so large as to be indistinguishable from Islam as a whole?
When will the rest of the infidels see clearly?
