Now An Emirate In Ben Ghazi, Libya: But Why Does It Not Call
Itself Another Khilafat

Islam
has been hijacked and turned into a joke by these marauders and terrorists
called the ISIS and Al Qaida. Last month, on 30 July, Abu Bakr Baghdadi, a
person of dubious background announced the establishment of Islamic State in
Mosul and unleashed a reign of terror among Christians and Muslims alike,
razing many religious structures of Shias and Sunnis and then issuing the order
mandating FGM of millions of girls in the captured territory. Since the time
Baghdadi parted ways with his Alma mater Al Qaida and rose to fame, Al Qaida
was looking for an opportunity to assert its existence and strength. And as it
cannot overpower ISIS in Iraq or Syria, it shifted its focus and strategy from
Iraq to Libya where there was some scope of reclaiming the lost ‘glory’ as the
land is at the moment without any authority or rule of law. So, an Al Qaida
offshoot Ansar al Shariah conquered Benghazi in Libya and announced that an
Islamic Emirate had been established there. But why an Emirate and not a
Caliphate?
