Most 'moderate' Arab state wants to be a Caliphate
This will make you feel all warm and fuzzy about the 'Arab spring.' The translation is rather poor, but here's what the newly elected Prime Minister of Tunisia has to say about his plans (Hat Tip: Atlas Shrugs). In a popular meeting in Sousse today, Hamadi Jebali of Enahdha party, certainly tunisian [sic] next prime minister in Tunisia, has announced that he and his party will be "the 6 th islamic Rightly Guided Caliphs", promising also that this tunisian [sic] Caliphate will, enlighten the worrld [sic], as did the Jasmine revolution!Instead of pro-Western dictators, the 'Arab spring' is yielding Islamic states in Tunisia, Egypt and Libya - and probably in Syria eventually as well. Are we really better off?
The term Caliphate refers to the first system of government established in Islam and represented the political unity of the Muslim Ummah (community). Its head is the Caliph, a monarch, usually chosen among pious imams.
He also promised that Jerusalem will be freed from jewish [sic] occupation. The liberation process will start from the tunisian [sic] Caliphate! pointing [sic] to a palestenian [sic] guest woman present in the meeting: "our sister's presence is a divine sign from God. The liberation of jerusalem starts here. I will be the 6th Rightous [sic] Caliph"...

Good. We need them all splashing around in the abattoir of their medieval fantasy. Every century they regress is good for the rest of us. With any luck most of the Maghreb will resemble Afghanistan soon and it will all implode. Then when they come boiling out of their holes and move to Europe we can dance around the baby and library fire and celebrate their multiculturalism.
