At least seven years ago the idea of one great Islamic nation was already captivating people, according to the BBC.
On August 12 2007, a BBC reporter covered a convention in,
“Indonesia, where tens of thousands of Islamists have gathered to push for the creation of a single state across the Muslim world.”
The big promoter was Hizb ut-Tahrir a pan Islamic political organization founded in 1953.
The next day, August 13, 2007, the BBC headline read,
“Islamists urge caliphate revival — Some 100,000 Islamists have met in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, to press for the re-establishment of a caliphate across the Muslim world.”
BBC added,
“A caliphate – or single state for Muslims – last existed in 1924.”
And it said,
“Hizb ut-Tahrir regards this as the ideal form of government, because it follows what it believes are the laws of God as set out in the Koran, rather than laws designed by man.”
Ultimate Target Rome
The International business Times, on July 1, 2014, wrote the following,
“The leader of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (Isis) has urged Muslims around the world to embrace jihad, claiming Islamist fighters will one day conquer Rome, the capital of Christianity.”
However, expect Europe and mainstream Christianity to take steps to assure that doesn’t happen.
