Baghdad: Iraqi government against Jihadists fighting in Syria and Iraq declared Sunday the establishment of a “caliphate”, citing to the system of rule that ended almost 100 years ago with the fall of the Ottomans.
According to international sources, Iraq militant organization in an audio recording shared out online, the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) announced its chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi “the caliph” and “leader for Muslims everywhere”.
The militant organization spokesman Abu Mohammad al-Adnani said, “The Shura (council) of the Islamic State met and discussed this issue (of the caliphate)… The Islamic State decided to establish an Islamic caliphate and to designate a caliph for the state of the Muslims.”
The spokesman explained completely like this, said, “The jihadist cleric Baghdadi was designated the caliph of the Muslims. Baghdadi “has accepted this allegiance, and has thus become the leader for Muslims everywhere.
The words ‘Iraq’ and ‘the Levant’ have been removed from the name of the Islamic State in official papers and documents,” Adnani said, describing the caliphate as “the dream in all the Muslims’ hearts” and “the hope of all jihadists”.
Ever since, the Prophet Mohammed’s death, a caliph was nominated ‘the prince’ or Emir ‘of the believers’.
