Should the Caliphate be revived?

Should the Caliph come back?

100%, yes

The Muslims need to wake up. one by one they are either being pysically destryed (iraq, afghanistan etc) or by subtle meens (Turkey-EU laws asking for "major cultural change") To see one of the advantages of a return of da caliph one should go to a Mosque. You will see people of many diffrent ethnicities coordinating in harmony. With out the Caliph one can see resentment between the Muslims against each other.

others who mentioned for him to be similer to the pope or for restraints to be put on his power are wrong. This is would be quite ironic if a 'halal' (lawfull) leader was installed but his powers were to be not that that the sharia (Islamic law)commands. thus being 'haram'(unlawfull)

non-muslims in Turkey?

should a country define its governing system based on a minority that is less than 1%?

Turkey has a secular system, agreed.

although the far majority claim to be Muslim. Those that are practising the faith is also on the increase.

baris less then 1 percent is a minority, what u on about. Official statistics say 99.8% moslems in turkey.

obviuosly that does not meen they are all practising muslims. but they accept hz muhammed as the last prophet of Allah which means there muslims.

Religion part be scrapped. Just because it has no meaning to you foes not mean that it is not central to what one deems as central to the identity.

Secular state does not meen that the population has no religion. It meens that religion is kept out of state affairs.

"LA ILAHA ILLALA MUHAMADU RASULULAH" "There is no God but Allah and Muhammad (PBUH) is his messenger.

This is the core belief of Muslims. Majority of Turks do believe this, even though many are not practising.

Erci the decreasing of faith is a trend from many past years. The current trend is up. Not a dramatic increase but an increase, just look at west Turkey

I think having the religion stated on your ID is a descrimination. A perfect example is the Lebanon Civil War, where each person carried his religion and sect stated on the ID. That made it easier for massacres to inflict civilians as you can just stop any person look in his ID and get him shot right away. An example is the "black Sunday" incident and "Aldamoor" town massacre.

I don't even know what is the point of stating your religion on you ID? How does it help the person carrying?

For Muslims, the Khilafa is Wajib (necessary) and the establishment thereof is a Fard (obligation). Some say it is a Fard Ayn (an individual duty), the majority maintains it is a Fard Kifaya (a collective duty). Any Sunni Muslim is required to uphold these stands, and as a Sunni Muslim I go with that and maintain that the Khilafa is to be revived. However, I advice to be careful with groups to claim that work for such a revival in political ways alone, such as Hizbu l-Tahrir. They have some good points, but there are doctrinal problems as well as in mentality and approach. It is a commonly increasing misconception that Muslims who believe the Khilafa is to be established and work for it, are sympathizers of such groups.
