Title: Another Caliphate?
Post by: sargentodiaz on March 31, 2015, 11:43:47 AM

It seems that Muslim nations have been trying for a very long time to get together to agree on anything beyond oil. The Arab leaders could not all be there to discuss the formation of a joint military command to fight the Daesh (as they call ISIL). The Saudis under their new king have already started to blast the Iranian-backed rebels in Yemen. But, can it work and will it spread to Iraq and Syria?

I don't forsee a combined sunni shia khalifate.
The only way it can work is all or nothing.
Neither side wants to share it's world domination plans.

I agree. There are far too many Islamic sects that will never unite with another for any reason whatsoever.

It's just that Egypt and Saudi Arabia are still trying.
