Islamists Call for Global Caliphate in Indonesia

For years we have heard warnings of the coming "New World Order", how it was going to seek to control every aspect of our lives. What we see, hear and do would all be controlled by this one central world government. And for years we have pooh poohed the alarmists as just that, alarmists.

Now what if I were to tell you that this weekend there are 80,000 activists from all over the world meeting in Indonesia to discuss setting up just such a central world government, in the largest such meeting ever. The THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS: ISLAMIC GLOBAL CALIPHATE GOAL IN SIGHTS says

"80,000 Muslim activists met in Indonesia today to discuss setting up a global caliphate, or, in simpler terms an Islamic Global Government. Some say this is the largest group of Muslims coming from all over the world for an event of this kind ever.
The group who organized it is Hizb ut-Tahrir, a group so extreme, it is banned in most of the Middle East and parts of Europe.

Hizb ut-Tahrir - or Liberation Party - was founded in Jerusalem in the 1950s by Palestinian religious scholar Taqiuddin an-Nabhani. Today it has a mainly clandestine following in the Middle East, a large presence in Central Asia - where hundreds of its members have been jailed - and active supporters in the West, including London, which is believed to be one of its main bases.

Even the Islamic Indonesian Government was alarmed and has banned an Australian and a Brit (both Muslims) from attending. Controversial cleric, who helped mastermind the bombing of an Indonesian nightclub which resulted in the death of a crowd of holidaying Aussies; that Abu Bakar Ba'asyir was going to be one of the key speakers but had to pull out due to the publicity he would have generated."

Whats driving this movement, The Midnight Sun: ISLAMIC GLOBAL GOVERNMENT, PART 1 believes it may be is a strong believe that the their:

“Islamic messiah known as the “Twelfth Imam” or the “Mahdi” (who) may come to earth in 2007 and could be revealed to the world as early as the spring equinox in Mecca, and then Medina”. This person is expected to “conquer all of Arabia, Syria, Iraq, destroy Israel and then set up a “global government” based in Iraq.”

Current interest in Islamist eschatology has been escalating since the ascendancy of Ahmadinejad in the Islamic community. This explains the fact that particularly Iran (and its allies) have absolutely no interest in seeking peace in the region and never will."

How we respond to this movement will undoubtedly determine where the Global Caliphate will come into being. One thing is for sure the United States can't afford to hide behind our borders or redeploy to Okinawa and let these activists pursue their goals.
