Nah, they just find people who shout Allahu Akbar funny generally. I don't care at all but when whole page is full with mocking posts it starts to become ridiculous.

Btw, none can hijack the religion as none has authority to represent a religion.

    I am not surprised you know better than all of us.

    Does this sounds like a Pope like leadership to you? Caliph does not represent Islam, he represents the state.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caliph#Al-Ghazali_on_the_desired_character_traits_for_administration

    funny how you skip the very first line:

    "Caliph or khalifa is a title used for Islamic rulers who are considered politico-religious leaders of the Islamic community of believers, and who rule in accordance with Islamic law. A state ruled by a caliph is a caliphate."

    Religious because it is the leader of people who follow same religion. Still there is no contradiction between what i said in that post and my opinion on Caliphate as there is no similarity between Popecy and Caliphate.

    One is responsible for his acts, neither able to represent a religion nor hijack it.
