[quote=@SgtEasy] [@Letter Bee] Seems like a good idea, defying the Ottomans (who had previously ruled Algiers until 1830) is something a fairly anti-Imperial Algerian Islamic State would do. Maybe not open defiance but there would be thin ice between the two nations (though not as much as France of course) [/quote] I'm okay with this. After the Ottomans lost Arabia, there surely would be contenders for the Caliphate but the Turks and maybe some others still recognise Osman IV as the Caliph.
