No, but I don't care for the attitude you like to engender.
So at this point I am asking you nicely to just steer clear of my threads.
Please start your own thread on the subject if you like but please don't post on ANY of my threads.

It is well known that Ottoman empire took pieces which they benefitted the most.

I don't have to explain to you why I asked him to not post. so please drop it. it has nothing to do with info or right or wrong.
That's the fantasies of the ISIS type lunatics.
There's NOTHING in the Quran or Hadith that backs them up at all.

There will be no world wide caliphate according to Islamic prophetic tradition
People will remain believers (Christians, Jews, Muslims, others) or disbelievers until the appearance of the Dabbatt AL Ard
Quran 27/82
That is a supernatural mechanism or being who will spiritually label believers and disbelievers
Before that Jesus and or the Mahdi will appear and not conquer the world just create a community of true believers
There is no expectation in traditional Islam for no return to any Caliphate.

Today, the five schools of Islamic thought accepted by all Muslims are the Ja‘fari, comprising 23% of the Muslims; the Hanafi, comprising 31% of the Muslims; the Maliki, comprising 25% of the Muslims; the Shafi΄i, comprising 16% of the Muslims; and the Hanbali, comprising 4% of the Muslims. The remaining small percentage follow other minority schools, such as the Zaydi and the Isma΄ili.1

it is hard for many to understand what lengths TPTB go to to get their end. These are the one who created ISIS and Radicals not just of Islam but of all groups like BLM. and hey, Don't think for a moment you guys of Anonymous that you just came up with this group yourselves? Do you really think you are all anonymous? TPTB know just who you are they created you and you do their bidding when and where they want it.
As I mentioned earlier there have been added to our Universities and Colleges degrees in Sharia or Islamic Law that supposedly have nothing to do with religion. You can get a degree in it. These same schools would bash you for saying, "God bless you" when you sneeze. and yet don't Question why Islamic Law degrees are being offered in their schools in the US.
If there will be no worldwide Caliphate then why are so many Universities and colleges now offering these courses.
What use would it be in this world otherwise?
The hand writing is on the wall yet people aren't willing to read it.
Here is a partial list of Universities and Colleges offering Islamic Law degrees.
Harvard Law
Concord law School
University of London
Oxford University
University of Queensland
American University of London
Georgetown University
Yale
And this is just a few.
Now ask yourself, why, if Sharia is only a religious law that no one will really live under, why are so many top universities offering degrees in Sharia/Islamic Law?
I think the answer is clear if you will open your eyes.

The ISIS a-holes have hijacked religion as an excuse to kill, rape and pillage. They don't need real scripture to back them up only the idea that lets them create chaos and misery.

100% correct... Jihad is a pillar of Islam, no Muslim can be against the tenets of Islam. Muslims cannot be against Jihad or they are not Muslims. Islam has one goal and one goal alone: to assimilate or to destroy. The Qur’an itself and history both prove that there is no such thing as moderate Islam. www.abovetopsecret.com...
do you know what Sunni means?
Do you know what Sunni law is?
There is no difference between Sunni and Muslim. We Sunni are Muslim, and the only reason that we choose to be called Sunni is because we dont want to be mixed up with Shias. Sunni comes from the word 'Sunnah' which means the habits and traditions of the Prophet (PBUH). And we follow them and so we are called 'Sunni'.

As to the OP question... it would look very much like it does now, but with even more insanity, mental retardation, thought control and blood.
The Islamophobia is sad and scary... it plays directly into the hands of maniacs on both sides pushing for a "holy war" (which is the greatest of oxymorons)...
however, ignoring that certain adherents to Islam are not above killing in god's name (though really for more petty reasons, of course) is also wrong and not prudent... and is at complete odds with the "live and let live" mentality found in (varying degrees in) the West... but it should be stressed that painting people with broad strokes is dangerous and against the very ideals we Westerners (that term is also meant to be inclusive of more tolerant, wise followers of Islam, too, of course) are supposed to be defending.
Islam itself has a history of restraint, kindness and inclusion... and has given us modern society due to certain adherents keeping ancient records to enable the Renaissance, etc., but some forms of Islam are not retrained, kind or inclusive... just like some brands of most other belief systems.
Ignoring that potential (that lurks in ALL humans, to be fair) is stupid... thinking all, or even many, devoted to Islam are dangerous is false, but darnit, some goodhearted folks just don't know how illogical and different people can actually be... and how volatile certain interpretations of religion ( coupled with a warrior philosophy, economic hardship, hopelessness, culture shock and an inferiority complex) can make someone.

Belly Dancers , Opium , Wine , Hashish was all legal in Sharia Ruled Istanbul for centuries .
Sharia doesn't apply unless if you are a muslim .
Under Sharia , non muslims can and do hold their own Court of Law .
No wonder why the liberals tend to favor Islam.
Under Sharia Economy , you would get a direct cut from the treasury and there would be no interest charging i.e usury allowed .
So my current mortgage would be interest free loan with upto 60 years to pay .
You should learn about the " Charity Stones of Istanbul "
"Charıty Stones in Ottoman Istanbul" One of the areas Ottoman culture excelled was security against poverty. What I am about to tell you may sound like a fairy tale today, yet it is the truth.The Ottomans had stone pillars, approximately the size of a human, which can still be found in certain parts of Istanbul. The purpose these stones served was not as mysterious as that of the monoliths at Stonehenge, but it may turn out to be more exciting by far in social terms.
They were called “Charity Stones” (sadaka taşı) . A rich person who wanted to make a donation would reach up to a niche at the top of the stone, where he would deposit his gift. Later on, a needy person would come along,reach up, take what was enough for his needs, and leave the rest of the money where it was so that another one in need may find solace. The purpose of this device was to preserve the anonymity of the poor, thereby saving them from shame and loss of face. No one was reduced to begging.

I understand your fear about the Sharia issue , I think .
You are obviously free to oppose such a thing , after all if you are not a muslim why would you want to see 1.5 billion people becoming the largest nation on earth all of a sudden .
Vatikan & Jerusalem would hate the Sharia Law ; it would be the death of Usury .
Not exactly correct.
They CAN charge interest if you not Muslim. From my research when dealing with non Muslims al bets are off. They can charge interest, receive interest on saving, BUT CANNOT be charged interest. Pretty one sided.
Also If I remember correctly a "TAX" called a Jizya is required if you are not Muslim. which translates to something like a protection fee. In other words pay up or we look the other way while your killed.
Zakāt (Arabic: زكاة [zæˈkæːt], "that which purifies",) is a form of obligatory — compulsory, or, more recently, voluntary — alms-giving and religious tax in Islam. As one of the Five Pillars of Islam, zakatis a religious obligation for all Muslims who meet the necessary criteria of wealth.
