Suleymaniye mosque Istanbul

Thousands of Muslims have gathered in the Suleymaniye mosque to participate in the traditional Friday prayers of Islam. This Friday Caliph Mohammed Salah Ibn Al-Arabi would lead the prayers. Mohammed Salah had been chosen by the Shura as Caliph of the Istanbul Caliphate 10 years ago after the dead of the previous Caliph. Mohammed Salah stroke his long black beard once and started to speak.

“ Brothers, today the fragile peace of this world has been broken. 15 years ago the third world war came to an end. Reshaping the world, redrawing borders. The nations that are here today have been born through blood and fire. We all remember the horrors, we all honor the fallen martyrs and we all wish to see our sons and daughters grow up in peace. We have worked hard to reestablish peaceful relationships with our neighbors and bring stability to the Arabic world. Under our leadership the Middle-east has known a period of unprecedented peace and prosperity. For 15 years our women could go to the markets without having to fear to be blown up. For 15 years the people of Palestine could walk the streets of Gaza city without the fear of being bombed. This fear is now back.

The Mexican Empire and their United South Asian Empire friends have declared war on the Caliphate unprovoked. Destroying the fragile after world war 3 peace and returning the flames of war once again to the world Allah has given us, staining its soil with the blood of the innocent. USAE troops have violated the sovereignty of Iran and are marching towards our borders. Once again my brothers The Caliphate must ask his sons to take up the sword in order to defend our children from brutal imperialism from beyond the seas. Once again our sons will become martyrs to perserve our way of live and to defend the children of Islam. Long live the Caliphate!”

The crowd cheered “ Allahu Akbar!”

Meanwhile full scale mobilization of the Caliphate's armed forces went underway. Units of the great Caliphs army take on defensive positions all across the border with the Caliphate and Iran in order to deal with the invaders. The Caliphate's navy started to extensively patrol the Gulf of Aden and the Straight of Gibraltar. Effectively closing entry to the Mediterranean Sea for Mexican and USAE ships.

[b]A proposition to all the nations of the world[/b]

Greetings my brothers,

Our world has been shaped by fire and blood. Our fields have been stained with the violence of world war. Our mothers still weep over their lost sons on the battlefield of 15 years ago. Only time can heal can heal the scars of war. The Caliphate does not wish to rip open these wounds that have just barely been closed. We do not seek conflict nor expansion of our borders. We seek to preserve our way of life and to give the Muslims of this world a home where they can practice their religion without interference and oppression.

The Istanbul Caliphate does not believe that the world should be cast once again into the horrors of war. The Caliphate greatly condemns the USAE violation of the Iranian sovereignty. A neutral country that we have been at peace with for 15 years. In order to resolve this crisis the great Caliph proposes to hold a peace conference in a neutral country between all the major powers. Only through working together we can maintain this fragile peace and prevent that this world will be once again engulfed in the flames of war.

May the world prosper in peace.

Caliph Mohammed Salah Ibn Al-Arabi
