Understanding the Global Caliphate Ideology, practices, and organizations.

What do Christians, Hindus, Jews, Druze and Iranians have in common? We are all currently under attack by Islamists who dream of a global caliphate [1,2,5,8,21,23,24].

Although the idea of a “global caliphate” originated with Islam in the 7th century, it is still alive and kicking today, aiming to unify religious and political authority under Sharia law globally [2,8,14,19,20,26,27]. Currently using Jew hatred as a Trojan horse to facilitate their expansion in the West.

The Quran divides the world into believers and Kafirs (non-believers) [2,5,12,15,22]. Allah loves the Muslims and hates the Kafirs [2,5,12,22]. The stated purpose of the Quran is to create a world with no Kafirs [2,5,12,15,22].

This ideology underlies many current examples of mass violence and terror, including the October 7 massacre in Israel, the massacre of Druze in Syria, the killing of Christians in parts of the Middle East and Africa, attacks on Hindus in India, the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the persecution of Kurds, Yazidis, and many others, including in war zones such as Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon, Libya, Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, India (Kashmir), the Philippines, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Central African Republic, Chad, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Mozambique, Western Sahara, Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria, and Iran [1,2,6,7,8,9,13,16,17,21,23,24,26,27,28,35].

***

It is critical to distinguish between political Islamists, who seek Islamic expansion and domination, and religious Muslims, who support the concept of independent states and aim to normalize relations and pursue peace agreements with other countries, such as the Abraham Accords [2,5,14,15,22,25].

Main Features of a Global Caliphate

No National Sovereignty: A single centralized authority claims both religious and political power, replacing independent countries [2,8,14,19,21,23,26].

Uniform Legal System: Strict Sharia law serves as the sole legal framework worldwide [2,8,14,17,18,19,26,27].

Monoculture Enforcement: Freedom of religion and cultural expression is banned, imposing uniform beliefs and practices [2,5,8,15,17,19,22].

Violation of Human Rights: Women are suppressed, LGBTQ+ face execution, child marriage, slavery, honor killing and human trafficking are permitted [2,8,16,17,18,19,24].

Militarized Control: Violence and terror are systematically used to maintain authority and expand territory [1,2,6,7,9,13,14,20,21,23,25].

Cultural Destruction and Appropriation: Historic sites, cultural heritage, and diverse traditions are destroyed or co-opted [2,8,16,17,24,26,35].

Glossary

House of Peace (Dar al-Salam)
Definition: Territory under Islamic rule where Islamic law (Sharia) is applied and Muslims are in control [2,9,12,14,19,22].

House of War (Dar al-Harb)
Definition: Territory not governed by Islamic rule, where Muslims do not have political control. By definition in war [2,9,12,14,22].

Kafirs
Islam divides humanity into Muslims, non-Muslims (Kafirs), and Dhimmis [2,5,12,15,22]. Political Islam aims to convert, subjugate, or annihilate Kafirs, portraying them as hated by God and unworthy of true friendship with Muslims [2,5,12,15,16,22]. Under this ideology, extreme abuses—enslavement, sexual violence, killing, humiliation—are justified, and Kafirs are treated as less than fully human [2,5,8,12,15,16,22].

Dhimmis
Christians and Jews living under Islamic rule could:

• Convert to Islam → become full citizens, or

• Remain Christian/Jew → pay a special tax (jizyah) and enter dhimmi status [2,10,15,22,24].

Dhimmis are “semi-slaves” who are humiliated and subjugated under Islamic law [2,10,15,22,24]. Dhimmi status led to the decline of Christianity in places such as the Middle East and Turkey [10,15,22,24,35].

Violent Jihad (Jihad bil Saif)
Definition: Literally means “struggle by the sword,” referring to the use of armed force in the expansion of Islam [3,4,6,7,9,12,13,14,20,23].

Key Features:

• Military campaigns or armed conflict [1,3,6,7,9,13,20,23].

• Often framed as defending Islam or imposing strict Sharia rule [3,6,7,9,14,20].

• Used by extremist groups to justify attacks on civilians, governments, or minorities [1,3,6,7,13,14,20,21,25].

Non-Violent Jihad
Definition: The expansion or influence of Islam through non-violent means [2,7,12,14,19,25].

Key Features:

• Immigration and settlement in non-Muslim societies [2,7,12,25].

• Higher birth rates in Muslim communities as a demographic strategy [2,25].

• Political influence: lobbying, legislation, and public policy advocacy [2,7,14,19,25].

• Propaganda and media campaigns promoting Islamic ideas or values [7,14,25,30].

• Legal and financial strategies to shape society, culture, and institutions [2,7,19,25].

• Cultural influence: education, religious institutions, charities, and community organizations [2,7,14,25].

Institutionalized Jew Hatred Practices in the Muslim World

Antisemitism in the Muslim world is often state-driven and reinforced by laws, education, and media [1,2]. Historically, it has also manifested in the mass expulsion of Jewish communities from Arab countries, including Iraq, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Syria, Morocco, Algeria, and others, forcing hundreds of thousands to leave their homes and properties behind [1,2,3].

Institutionalized Jew Hatred includes policies such as Anti-normalization guidelines, Pay-for-Slay, Travel Bans, state-controlled media campaigns, educational indoctrination, legal and political exclusion, social and cultural ostracism, and international NGO control [2,3,4].

Anti-normalization guidelines are political, economic, cultural, and social rules designed to prevent engagement with Israel, Israelis, and Jews [2,3,4]. Since the Durban 2001 ‘NGO Forum,’ BDS and BDS-aligned organizations have been spreading these guidelines in the West under the guise of morally justified resistance [3,4,5].

Pay-for-Slay is a policy associated primarily with the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Hamas, in which individuals who carry out attacks against Israelis—including shootings, stabbings, or bombings—and their families receive financial payments, stipends, property, and social benefits [2,3]. These payments are framed as “martyr payments” and incentivize terrorism [2,3].

Travel Bans are another tool of exclusion. Several countries aligned with the global caliphate refuse entry to Israelis, including Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Brunei, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Malaysia, Maldives, Oman, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Syria, and Yemen, effectively preventing any engagement with the Jewish state [1,2].

State-controlled media campaigns propagate antisemitic narratives, conspiracy theories about Jewish control of finance or media, and portray Jews and Israel as existential enemies [2,3,5].

Educational indoctrination embeds antisemitic content in curricula and religious instruction, teaching children that Jews and Israel are evil and that normal engagement with them is illegitimate [1,3]. In many countries, the Israeli flag is painted on the ground, forcing students to spit on it or step on it on their way into class [2,3].

Legal and political exclusion restricts Jews or Israelis from government jobs, political participation, or public activities in some countries, while remnants of historic dhimmi laws continue to affect property and civil rights [2,3].

Social and cultural ostracism punishes individuals or institutions that interact with Jews or Israelis through blacklisting, intimidation, or social exclusion [3,4].

International NGO control through BDS-aligned networks enforces anti-normalization globally, influencing academic conferences, unions, cultural events, and corporate partnerships to prevent engagement with Israel [3,4,5].

Collectively, these policies create a systemic, multi-layered framework of antisemitism that delegitimizes Israel, punishes engagement with Jews or Israelis, and enforces the ideological goals of the global Islamist agenda [1,2,3,4,5].
