Worldwide caliphate

A worldwide caliphate is the concept of a single Islamic world government, which was supported in particular by Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a leader of the Islamic fundamentalist militant group Islamic State.[1][2] On April 8, 2006, the Daily Times of Pakistan reported that at a rally held in Islamabad the militant organization Sipah-e-Sahaba Pakistan called for the formation of a worldwide caliphate, which was to begin in Pakistan.[3] On June 29, 2014, Baghdadi claimed the successful creation of a worldwide caliphate.[4]

A Constitution[5] guides the governance of activities of the principal bodies located in Pakistan.

Hizb ut-Tahrir, a pan-Islamist political organization, believes that all Muslims should unite in a worldwide caliphate[6][7] that will "challenge, and ultimately conquer, the West."[8] Because extremists often commit acts of violence in pursuit of this goal, it lacks appeal among a wider audience.[9]
