Who want to establish a caliphate?

Is it the Sunni ? Is it the Shia? Is it both? If both don't we have to kill them all?

Well, that'd be a great start.

Do you even know the divisions of Islam and the Muslim's aggression towards each?
it is reminiscent of the protestant/catholic period of discord..

The Middle East is not likely to devolve into a Caliphate. As we grow more and more energy independent, it is more likely they will return to the tribal system of the late 19th/early 20th century. Maybe even something resembling the mess in Somalia.

It won't be pretty.

A Caliphate would be far preferable over that.

In any case I am thrilled that the Muslim situation has no impact on our domestic politics...who knew?

A Worldwide Caliphate refers to the actions by "Islamic extremists" as part of an effort to overthrow all political systems in favor of a single theocratic one-world government.[1][2] The Daily Times 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][relevant? ]

Hizb ut-Tahrir believes that all Muslims should unite in a Caliphate that will "challenge, and ultimately conquer, the West."[4] While "extremists commit atrocities" in pursuit of this unlikely goal, it lacks appeal among a wider Islamic audience.[5] Brigitte Gabriel argues that the goal of a worldwide Caliphate is central to the enterprise of radical Islam.[6]
