MSNBC Proves Glenn Beck’s Caliphate Theory; Refuses To Apologize

H/T Jared Law

…which Glenn brought up again, after years of relative silence on the matter. Glenn Beck brought this up clear back in the 2006/2007 time frame. In the 4-5 years since that time, Glenn hasn’t focused on it as much as it has been focused upon in just the last week or two.

So once again, Glenn Beck was right about the effort to cobble together a regional or global Islamic Caliphate. Radical Islamists have been talking about this for decades, but it has only become a reality in the week or two since Glenn resurrected his Caliphate theory, and after trashing Glenn’s name mercilessly for a solid week plus, they are now proving him right, in this case, in the form of MSNBC is putting up a graphic eerily similar to Glenn Beck’s chalkboard diagram of uprisings resulting in an Islamofascist Caliphate:.

‘High Capacities’: If Iran Calls For a Unified Muslim World Coalition, Would That Be a, um, uh…Caliphate?

As the Iranian military fires tear gas into the crowds on the streets of Tehran and state-run media fills the airwaves with anti-western propaganda, the Ayatollah Khamenei appears to be calling for a unified Muslim world, saying;

“If the Muslim world becomes acquainted with its high capacities and capabilities, conditions will drastically change and the Muslim world can play a role in international developments as an influential power.”

Hmmm, “the Muslim world can play a role in international developments as an influential power.” Nothing in that statement about a single country. The Ayatollah appears to be looking forward to a global Muslim union. Which means it is time to review the word of the month, Caliphate.

Caliphate. – A unified federal Islamic government for the Muslim world, ruled by an elected head of state or caliph.

The word caliphate has been heard on American television and radio more in the past two weeks than the past two decades. One imagines that it will be heard in various forms at the upcoming 24th International Islamic Unity Conference, held at the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting International Conference Center in Tehran February 19 – 21. Pre-event press claims that 500 or so Iranian Shia and Sunni scholars will be speaking and they have also invited an additional 250 from 57 countries.

But all of that that does not signal any plan or attempt at merge a large union of predominantly Muslim countries into one unified Muslim world, does it? No. However, you might reconsider when the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of Iran’s Armed Forces, Major General Hassan Firouzabadi says something like this;

“Unity and solidarity present Muslim governments and nations with the best and most effective way to counter the plans, plots, and conspiracies of the enemies of Islam.”

As the Major General talks of “unity and solidarity” between Muslim nations, we see that eleven countries in the Middle East are currently experiencing protests on a daily basis. Their fragile governments, like Egypt could start falling like dominoes, leaving a power vacuum. Even MSNBC picked this up, and showed a map similar to the one that appeared on Beck’s February 1st program.
