6) A Global Caliphate Is A Bad Idea (6 of 10)
In Islam, a caliph is the ruler of the community who is considered as a successor to the Prophet Muhammad in terms of political authority. And since Islam does not recognize the divisions in the religion and considers its scope to be global, the authority of caliph must be as such. However, this is plainly not possible.
Any Muslim ruler can only be a true caliph if he can exert control over the whole of Muslim community and demands unconditional support of all the adherents of the religion. And considering Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS, does not yet control the world, it is safe to assume he has bit off more than he could chew. A global caliphate is a bad idea. They would’ve fared much better if they simply would have lowered their scope.
This can all change in an instant if the right person gains power. Nothing is doomed until it’s over. It seems they have no shortage of income and it has to come from somewhere, so I think there are more supporters out there than we may think.
I think the only True Reason why these groups of religious fanatics won’t win because they believe in FALSE GOD AND FALSE TEACHING. The True God Of the BIBLE HELPED ITS BELIVER.
1 Kings 20:28-30 KJV
[28] And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the Lord , Because the Syrians have said, The Lord is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord . [29] And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day. [30] But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
