WTF are you talking about? The Caliph is inherently Islamic. The Caliph is supposed to be the successor to Mohammed and the leader of the Muslim community. Because of this it can't be secular. It even says it on the wikipedia article:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CaliphateThe organization of government itself is inherently Islamic:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliphate#GovernmentTell me what is Baathism's ideal government and what Baathism's thoughts on socialism, democracy, capitalism, Arab nationalism, and struggle is. Also tell me what Baathism's name is derived from. You can't understand Baathism at all if you don't know any of these things. Baathism isn't just secularism and women's rights. Women's rights isn't even a tenant.
Baathism isn't Islamic, it's secular. It cannot have a connection with Libyan economics.
That is not due to the economics themselves but due to socialism's association and alignment with liberalism.
And what are these economics? Would it trouble you to describe what school of economics Libya uses?
A "secular" Caliph as you are proposing will do nothing to mitigate Islamic terrorism. It may increase Islamic terrorism in fact. If terrorist groups see that not only is there a Caliph but what they deem an insult to Caliphates, they will form their own competing Caliphates earlier than before or increase their terrorist operations in order to reach their quota for their Caliphate.
ISIS will especially be doing both given that your faction is also in Syria and therefore competing with ISIS.
So? Just because some noblemen were Caliphs before doesn't mean that they were good rulers. The Ottomans were actually very bad and corrupt rulers who were besieged by constant revolutions and uprisings against them. Furthermore just because the Ottomans were Turks and they were rulers doesn't mean that any old Turkish person who has no political history at all would be better than an Arab who has a good history with politics.
You do realize that there are tens of millions of Sayyids (descendants of Mohammed) right? Any average joe could be a descendant of Mohammed. There are descendants of Mohammed in the West that eat bacon, drink wine, have pre-martial sex, and smoke weed. It's honestly not a big deal and isn't enough to exclude countless other very good political rulers just because the only fucking Sayyids you know are Turkish and Jordanian. Also the average Turkish person is not a Sayyid.
Many of the answers here are realistic and don't even delve into the politics of the Middle East. You are getting grilled for portraying a viewpoint based on ignorance and lack of understanding of the Middle East. Your post is like me saying that the rulers of Africa should either be White or Arab and that Africa should be united under a Caliphate and that Africa should be westernized.
Do you see the problems with that statement? It shows a clear ignorance, stupidity and racism that is obvious to anyone who knows even a little bit about Middle Eastern and Islamic history.
