 | | Muawiya II or Muawiya ibn Yazid (661 - 684) was an Umayyad caliph for about four months after the death of his father Yazid I. The empire he inherited was in a state of disarray with Abdullah bin Zubayr claiming to be the true caliph and holding the Hejaz as well... | | | Ottomans began increasingly to be considered the undisputed primary caliphate. | | | Abbasids, other Muslim rulers began to claim the title of caliph. |

| | ISLAMIC CALIPHATE |
| | With defeat of these peripheral caliphates, the caliphate of the Ottomans began increasingly to be considered to be undisputed primary caliphate. | | | But so, too, do other movements in more modern Islamic philosophy, some of which claim also to be purifying or restoring Islam, in particular, to be renewing ijtihad. | | | His most important follower was the then leader of the family of ibn Saud, which came with massive funding and political support. |

| | Citizens of a caliphate have every right to be involved in politics and hold the ruler accountable for his actions. | | | The use of these terms is intended to demonize legitimate Islamic values and beliefs, curtail legitimate political expression and challenge the influence of Islam on politics. | | | IW: Hizb ut-Tahrir is engaged in a political struggle, not a war, against the rulers of the Muslim world who are a band of dictators and tyrants. |

| | We noticed that as soon as the caliphate was destroyed, the regulations were abandoned, Jihad was erased from the dictionary of Islam, and Islam was forgotten. | | | Therefore, Allah commands us to be obedient to the Imams, not to revolt against them and advise them, because this is part and parcel of Worship; and whoever does this will be rewarded, and whoever disobeys, he will be punished. | | | We have to believe, without any doubt, that Islam is one complete unit which can not be broken into parts or sections. |

| | Bin Ladin: The Man Who Would Be Mahdi - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2002 |
| | Bin Ladin would presumably find it difficult to make an acceptable caliphal claim for the very reason that he has no territorial base, and there are no respected Islamic jurists in his camp (again, at least not yet) to corroborate and legitimate any claim by him to the exalted office of caliph. | | | Bin Ladin could attempt to legitimize his de facto role as leader of the anti-Western wing of Islam by attempting to revive the caliphate. | | | However, if bin Ladin remains at large, it would not be out of character for him to launch another surprise attack—a religious coup, achieved by hijacking some of the most evocative titles in the Islamic lexicon. |

| | ::: KAZAKH BAN ON HIZB UT-TAHRIR WILL NOT PREVENT THE RETURN OF THE ISLAMIC CALIPHATE ::: |
| | London, UK, March 29 – Hizb ut-Tahrir, the non-violent Islamic political party that is spearheading the global work for the return of the Islamic Khilafah [Caliphate], believes that the Kazakh government’s banning of the party will not prevent the party from soon realising its goal. | | | In recent weeks and months, the Kazakh government has alleged that Hizb ut-Tahrir is linked to terrorism and has undertaken a brutal campaign of raids, arrests and intimidation in a vain attempt to thwart Hizb ut-Tahrir's continuing intellectual and political work in Kazakhstan. | | | Hizb ut-Tahrir is an independent Islamic political party. |

| | The attacks on the French tanker off Yemen and in Bali were apparently part of this planned series and more are likely as the US and the UK go ahead with their preparations for an attack on Iraq for the overthrow of President Saddam Hussein. | | | Bali seems to have been chosen for the terrorist strike mainly because security precautions there were very relaxed since it was not considered by Indonesian intelligence and security agencies as a likely trouble spot. | | | However, there is so far no evidence to show that the explosions had anything to do with the predominantly Hindu nature of the Island or Megawati's family background. |
