Press Release
The Khilafah ar-Rashida will be Inevitably Established Regardless of the Doubts of Zhirinovsky, Head of the Liberal Democratic Party!
(Translated)

Russian Vladimir Zhirinovsky said that the idea of establishing a Khilafah "Caliphate" state is doomed to failure, based on the lack of unity among Muslims. He also commented that, "Today they want to build a great Islamic state in the Middle East extending from ocean to ocean. They don't understand that they lack the unity of language".

Zhirinovsky also said, "The Arabs have united, but the Turks and the Persians would not support them for historical and language differences between them! Therefore, it is impossible for them to have one state because they don't have one territory and their history is not one. They don't have anything to set up a state." This is what the political party leader Zhirinovsky indicated from his point of view.

In this regard, we say that what Zhirinovsky has said that there are people working to establish the Khilafah "Caliphate" in the Middle East, is true, but the rest of his remarks and conclusions which are likely to be based on the existence of the ISIS organization, are unfounded.

It is wrong to assume that language is the correct thing to unite people, but the correct basis to unite them is the Islamic Aqeedah that unifies the country in the first place on the basis of Islam.

The long history of the Islamic Ummah is the best proof of that; since in the early 17th century CE the world has witnessed an unprecedented combination of peoples of different languages, customs, traditions, and laws, in a single unit; the Islamic Ummah, which continues to be a strong nation, and brotherhood for each other, and continues to follow Islam.

As regards for Muslims disunity, this is the result of the Sykes-Picot Agreement that forcefully divided the Muslim lands into different countries, and established between them over fifty artificial borders. These borders remain protected by the rulers of the Muslims countries working under the authority and the will of their masters from the West to prevent Muslim unity.

The claims of Zhirinovsky of despair at the idea of unifying the Muslims under the Khilafah "Caliphate" State, the reality speaks otherwise. A few years ago, this idea to unite all Muslims in one state seemed to be elusive, but today we see the whole world is talking of the Khilafah "Caliphate" State and the achievement of its project. All that Muslims need already exist such as the armies, politicians, scientists, and even the Islamic Constitution on the basis of Islamic law, and the Constitution of the State which Hizb ut Tahrir brought forth to the Ummah.

It is hard to imagine that a Russian politician is not aware of the current situation, or he does not know the history of the Islamic world. His words though have no effect on the determination and the insistence of Muslims to establish the second Khilafah "Caliphate" Rashida State on the method of the Prophethood.
