Tony Blair, British Prime
Minister
By Sharique
Naeem
In a speech at Labour Party National Conference, stated:
“What we are confronting here is an evil ideology......They demand the elimination of
Israel; the withdrawal of all Westerners from Muslim countries, irrespective of the wishes
of people and government; the establishment of effectively Taliban states and Shariah law in
the Arab world en route to one caliphate of all Muslim nations.”
Charles Clarke, British Home Secretary, 5th Oct 2005
In a speech on Counter Terrorism at The Heritage Foundation (a neoconservative think tank,
Washington DC) stated:
“What drives these people on is ideas. And unlike the liberation movements of the post World
War II era in many parts of the world, these are not in pursuit of political ideas like
national independence from colonial rule, or equality for all citizens without regard for
race or creed, or freedom of expression without totalitarian repression. Such ambitions are,
at least in principle, negotiable and in many cases have actually been negotiated. However
there can be no negotiation about the re-creation of the Caliphate; there can be no
negotiation about the imposition of Shariah law; there can be no negotiation about the
suppression of equality between the sexes; there can be no negotiation about the ending of
free speech. These values are fundamental to our civilization and are simply not up for
negotiation.”
Lord Curzon, British Foreign Secretary in 1924
After the termination of Khilafat, the secretary expressed his views, in the following
words:
"The point at issue is that Turkey has been destroyed and shall never rise again, because we
have destroyed her spiritual power: the Caliphate and Islam."
Sir Campbell Bannerman, Prime Minister of Britain [1905-08]
“ There are people who control spacious territories teeming with manifest and hidden
resources. They dominate the intersections of world routes. Their lands were the cradles of
human civilizations and religions. These people have one faith, one language, one history
and the same aspirations. No natural barriers can isolate these people from one another ...
if, per chance, this nation were to be unified into one state, it would then take the fate
of the world into its hands and would separate Europe from the rest of the world. Taking
these considerations seriously, a foreign body should be planted in the heart of this nation
to prevent the convergence of its wings in such a way that it could exhaust its powers in
never-ending wars. It could also serve as a springboard for the West to gain its coveted
objects.” - 1902
President Bush
“The murderous ideology of the Islamic radicals is the great challenge of our new
century. Like the ideology of communism, our new enemy teaches that innocent individuals can
be sacrificed to serve a political vision."
“The militants believe that controlling one country will rally the Muslim masses, enabling
them to overthrow all moderate governments in the region, and establish a radical Islamic
empire that spans from Spain to Indonesia"
General John Abizaid, Chief of US Central Command, 29th Sept. 2005
In a speech to US law makers said:
"Al Qaeda terrorists hope to drive American influence from the Middle East and install a
global Muslim leader in Saudi Arabia.....If al Qaeda terrorists manage to take control of
Saudi Arabia, they will try to create and expand their influence in the region and establish
a caliphate."
Abizaid said al Qaeda would subsequently move on to apply a "very narrow, strict
interpretation of Shariah, Islamic law, not believed in or practiced anywhere else in the
world today.......The next goal would be to expand into non-Arab Islamic countries. This
would include the middle of Africa, South Asia and Southeast Asia".
At another occasion,
Gen. John Abizaid said: “We are fighting the most despicable enemy ... who uses the 21st
century-technology to spread their vision of a 7th-century paradise (and) try to re-create
what they imagine was the pure and perfect Islamic government of the era of the prophet
Muhammad.”
Gen. Richard Myers, The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff
While addressing a Pentagon news conference stressed:
“If the Zarqawis of the world were allowed to be successful in Iraq in their view, and that
would be the start of the caliphate that they envision, the stakes would be huge for the
region,"
Henry Kissinger, Nov 2004
What in your opinion are the principal threats of the age? – He answered - “First, is what
we call terrorism in the United States, but which is really the uprising of radical Islam
against the secular world, and against the democratic world, on behalf of re-establishing a
sort of Caliphate. That is directed as much against moderate Islam, than it is against
non-Islamic societies.” - Hindustan Times Interview with Henry Kissinger, Nov 2004
US Think Tanks
In December 2004, A report by the National Intelligence Council (NIC) of the CIA state a
possible scenario that by 2020 a “New Caliphate" would have been established. This 123-page
report titled "Mapping the Global Future" was aimed to prepare the next Bush administration
for future challenges, and was presented to US President, members of Congress, cabinet
members and key officials involved in policymaking.
According to CSIS (Center for Strategic and International Studies), Washington based think
tank, this report was a case exercise/study which basically involves connecting the various
events taking place in the world, in such a way that there might be a possibility of forming
of such a state, and given that such a state may be established what needs to be done to
prevent it, if it needs to be prevented. Morover there are two organizations which did such
a study, one if the NIC and the other is Shell Oil Company
