"Muslim Country" and "Islamic State" Are Not Same
The Amazing Camel Driver
Some People use the terms "Muslim Countries" and "Islamic States"
interchangeably. This is wrong because the terms are not
same, but are quiet different. A Muslim country is any state
with Muslim majority, whereas an Islamic State is
Caliphate (Khilafah), which doesn't exist today. The Caliphate (Khilafah)
was destroyed by European Colonial Powers in 1920s, and was
divided up into smaller, weaker, puppet regimes that are
now known mostly as "Muslim countries".
A Muslim country does NOT implement the ISLAMIC LAW completely.
An Islamic State can only be truely one if ISLAMIC LAW is
applied and Islamic Society (with socio-politico-economic)
system is implemented in its entirety.
Today, there are over 55 Muslim countries, and not a single
Islamic State.
Khilafah: The Islamic State:
is defined as total rulership of Muslims all over the
world that implements the Islamic Shariah and carries
Islam to all people.The head of the state is the Khaleefah
The State does not recognize physical borders
or the independence of one muslim country from another.
The Ummah is one,the State is one,the Army is one,the
Flag is one.Official language: Arabic. Currency: Gold &
Silver standard. Calendar: The Hijra. Education, medical
and all basics needs are provided for each individual.
Structure of Khilafah:
* The Khaleefah.
* The Khaleef's Assistants, of which there are 2 types:
Delegated Assistant and Executive Assistant.
* The Ameer of Jihad.
* The Walis (Governors)
* The Qazis (Judges)
* The Administrative System.
* A consultative (SHURA) Assembly.
*see references below:
Definitions:
Ummah: The muslims of the world
Khilafah: The Islamic State.
Kaffir: Non-Muslims
Dawa: Invitation. Inviting people to Islam
Shariah: Islamic Law
pbuh: peace be upon him
masjid: Mosque [analogous to church]

Mustafa Kemal was a jew descendent from a tribe called the Doemehs. He
was working hand in hand with British intelligence to undermine and
abolish the Khilafa.

If it was a title than why did the former ruler of what is today Bosnia
and Herzegovina ally himself via treaty with the Turkish as an "integral
part of Turkey"? Why did Muslims in the Indian subcontinent stage massive
riots after its abolishment?

This is rewriting history at its best. The empire collapsed because
instead of using it's own sources i.e. the Quran and Sunnah to rule it
began to borrow and imitate the Western way of life in all of its forms
e.g. the "Tanzimat reforms" Externally pressure was applied by the
British, French, Russian and Spanish. They wanted to speed up its
collapse so that they could conquer, colonialize, and plunder its land,
peoples, and resources. Tell me why is it that the his (the racist's)
story becomes HIStory and my story is a mystery?
That's why the Caliphate collapsed,

to Mat:
the "community" called the Christian "church" (aka the "church body") is
analogous to the "Islamic Ummah" (aka the "Islamic nation"); all Muslims
as group
from one who worships the Most High God (aka "Allah" - subhaanahu wa
ta'ala)

Absolutely uncorrected. After WWII, there was a deliberate plot to divide
Muslims. That is why suddenly many new leaders took over different parts
of Islamic nations. All these rulers were hand picked and installed in
their positions by the West. These leaders include: rulers of Saudi
Arabia, Kowait, Iraq, Jordan, Iran, Ata Turk, and many other nations in
that region. The idea was to strengthen the nationalistic ideas and weaken
Islam. They succeeded beyond their wildest imagination.
Indeed nationalistic feeling, beside Persian's, is a new phenomena in
Islamic world.
Of course nothing happens without God's Permission. If He had not desired
this would not have happened! He is Indeed Wise All Knowing.
