This comes from a group (kafir group against what it calls khalifism) I joined which seeks to follow the news of those who want Islaam (by fighting or by political/ideological means), for it is the same with the Kafir who sees Islaam as a threat.
I do not have an author of this article or the web address. Perhaps I will search for it later. The article makes some interesting points such as:
1. The Republicans are influenced by an ideological foreign policy perspective.
2. The War between Islaam and Kufr is a continuous one.
3. U.S. moved to prevent caliphate by going to Iraq, and that the Republicans (Bush) should come out and say it.
It is perhaps misleading, I think, that none of the Democrats see things ideologically nor see the threat of the Khilafah coming back.
What do you think?

The Clash Of Civilizations And The Great Caliphate
Insider Report "Is It Not a Cause?" January 29,
2004
Watching and listening to the Democrat Party candidates is tantamount
to enduring the Chinese water torture. The blah, blah, blah goes on
and on and nothing of value comes out except the pain of listening to
the same nothingness over and over again. I won't take the time or
space to repeat what you have heard so many mind numbing times but
what you have not heard is crucial.
President Bush and his administration spokesmen are not telling the
American people what they really need to know about this "war." If
they don't do that between now and November it may cost them the
election.
The war against terror did not begin on September 11, 2001, nor will
it end with the peaceful transition to civilian authority in Iraq,
whenever that may be. In fact, Iraq is but a footnote in the bigger
context of this encounter, but an important one none the less.
This war is what the Jihadists themselves are calling the "Third Great
Jihad." They are operating within the framework of a time line which
reaches back to the very creation of Islam in the seventh century and
are presently attempting to recreate the dynamics which gave rise to
the religion in the first two hundred years of its existence.
No religion in history grew as fast, in its infancy, and the reasons
for the initial growth of Islam are not hard to explain when you
understand what the world was like at the time of Muhammad's death in
632 AD. Remember that the Western Roman Empire was in ruins and the
Eastern Empire, based in Constantinople, was trying desperately to
keep the power of its early grandeur while transitioning to
Christianity as a de facto state religion. The costs to the average
person were large as he was being required to meet the constantly
rising taxes levied by the state along with the tithes coerced by the
Church.
What Islam offered was the "carrot or the sword". If you became a
convert, your taxes were immediately eliminated, as was your tithe. If
you didn't, you faced death. The choice was not hard for most to make,
unless you were a very devoted martyr in the making. At the beginning,
even the theology was not too hard for most to swallow, considering
that both Jewry and Christianity were given their due by the Prophet.
There is but one God-Allah, and Muhammad is His Prophet, as was Jesus,
and the pre-Christian Jewish prophets of the Torah (Old Testament).
Both were called "children of the book"--the book being the Koran,
which replaced both the Old and New Testaments for former Christians
and Jews.
With this practical approach to spreading the "word" Islam grew like
wild-fire, reaching out from the Saudi Arabian Peninsula in all
directions. This early growth is what the Muslims call the "First"
great Jihad and it met with little resistance until Charles Martel of
France, the father of Charlemagne, stopped them in the battle of Tours
in France, after they had firmly established Islam on the Iberian
peninsula. This first onslaught against the West continued in various
forms and at various times until Islam was finally driven out of Spain
in 1492 at the battle of Granada.
The "Second great jihad" came with the Ottoman Turks. This empire
succeeded in bringing about the downfall of Constantinople as a
Christian stronghold and an end to Roman hegemony in all of its forms.
The Ottoman Empire was Islam's most successful expansion of territory
even though the religion itself had fractured into warring sects and
bitter rivalries with each claiming the ultimate truths in "the ways
of the Prophet". By 1683 the Ottomans had suffered a series of defeats
on both land and sea and the final, unsuccessful attempt, to capture
Vienna set the stage for the collapse of any further territorial
ambitions and Islam shrunk into various sheikhdoms, emir dominated
principalities, and roving tribes of nomads. However, by this time a
growing anti-western sentiment, blaming its internal failures on
anyone but themselves, was taking hold and setting the stage for a new
revival known as Wahhabism, a sect which came into full bloom under
the House of Saud on the Arabian Peninsula shortly before the onset of
WWI. It is this Wahhabi version of Islam which has infected the
religion itself, now finding adherents in almost all branches and
sects, especially the Shiites.
Wahhabiism calls for the complete and total rejection or destruction
of anything and everything which is not based in the original
teachings of The Prophet and finds its most glaring practice in the
policies of the Afgani Taliban or the Shiite practices of the late
Ayatollah Khomeini in Iran. Its Ali Pasha (Field Marshall) is now
known as Osama bin Laden, the leader of the "Third Jihad", who is
Wahhabi as were his 9/11 attack teams, 18 of which were also Saudi
The strategy for this "holy war" did not begin with the planning of
the destruction of the World Trade Center. It began with the toppling
of the Shah of Iran back in the late 1970's. With his plans and
programs to "westernize" his country, along with his close ties to the
U.S. and subdued acceptance of the State of Israel, the Shah was the
soft target.
Remember "America Held Hostage"?
Thanks, in large part to the hypocritical and disastrous policies of
the Jimmy Carter State Department the revolution was set into motion,
the Shah was deposed, his arm forces scattered or murdered and stage
one was complete. The Third Jihad now had a base of operations and the
oil wealth to support its grand design or what they call the "Great
Caliphate".
What this design calls for is the replacement of all secular
leadership in any country with Muslim majorities. This would include,
Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Indonesia, all the Emirates, Sudan, Tunisia,
Libya, Algeria, Morocco, Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Malaysia,
Indonesia and finally what they call the "occupied territory" Israel.
As a part of this strategy, forces of the jihad will infiltrate
governments and the military as a prelude to taking control, once the
secular leadership is ousted or assassinated. Such was the case in
Lebanon leading to the Syrian occupation and in Egypt with the murder
of Anwar Sadat, along with the multiple attempts on the lives of
Hussein in Jordan, Mubarak of Egypt and Musharraf in Pakistan.
Pakistan is a particular prize because of its nuclear weapons.
The long-range strategy of the Third Jihad counts on three strategic
goals. First, the U.S. withdrawing from the region just as it did in
Southeast Asia, following Vietnam. Second, taking control of the oil
wealth in the Muslim countries, which would be upwards to 75% of known
reserves; Third, using nuclear weapons or other WMDs to annihilate
Israel. A further outcome of successfully achieving these objectives
would be to place the United Nations as the sole arbiter in East/West
negotiations and paralyze western resistance, leading to total
withdrawal from all Islamic dominated countries
