DEBATE: Yasir Qadhi vs. Mustafa Akyol | Islam and the State


56:00  Isn't the Caliphate just the most powerful Islamic republic in the world? If America became an Islamic republic and remained the world's number one superpower, it would become the Caliphate, wouldn't it? Perhaps Imam Khamenei the Supreme Leader of Iran will confirm. 

Surely the Islamic principle of shura is enough to make any country a viable Islamic republic dividing people into religious group, occupational groups, married couples, spinsters and bachelors, slaves, the unemployed etc.

1:00:00  A Caliph is not a monarch.

1:01:00  A modern and novel Caliphate

1:02:00  Sunnis should get over themselves and acknowledge Iran as the Caliphate.  

1:04:00  What Koranic principles would be in force?

1:05:00  Personal piety and public order

1:12:00  Turkey is a secular state. 

"The government should take an interest in the moral betterment of the people."
