Worldwide Caliphate - From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A "Worldwide Caliphate" is the concept of a single
theocratic one-
world government as proposed by some
Islamic extremists in their efforts to overthrow the world's current political systems.
[1] The
Daily Times reported that at a rally held in Islamabad[
when?] the militant organization
Pakistan.

Hizb ut-Tahrir believes that all Muslims should unite in a worldwide
caliphate[3][4] that will "challenge, and ultimately conquer, the West."
[5] While extremists commit atrocities in pursuit of this unlikely goal, it lacks appeal among a wider Islamic audience.

[7] History
Efraim Karsh explains[
clarification needed] the concept's origin:
[8] "As a universal religion, Islam envisages a global political order in which all humankind will live under Muslim rule as either believers or subject communities. In order to achieve this goal it is incumbent on all free, male, adult Muslims to carry out an uncompromising struggle 'in the path of Allah,' or jihad. This in turn makes those parts of the world that have not yet been conquered by the House of Islam an abode of permanent conflict (Dar al-Harb, the house of War) which will only end with Islam's eventual triumph."
