If all muslim countrys reunited into one empire like it used to be, would this decrease the amount of terrorism, or increase? what other effects would it have on the world?
>>2890861
in theory decrease within the ME as the caliphate would be united, possible increase in Europe/India/SE Asia
>>2890861
It would decrease terrorism and most muslims would stay in their countries.
But america can't have that
>>2890861
>immediate shia vs sunni civil war
i need this in my life
>>2890861
I'd expect decrease. I'd also expect there would be a lot of human suffering in the new empire but it's unclear if it would be better or worse for MENA in the long run.
>>2890861
Violence would fucking explode at the prospect. Such empire building would cause a massive three faction war between Iran and its dependents, Saudi and its allies, and Pakistan and a sizable South Asian Muslim contingency. The diasporas of all three factions could be expected to wreak havoc in every corner of the earth. At the end of a war or series of wars that would no doubt last the better part of a century, some Pax Calipha might come out of it.

didn't happen before, why would it happen now?

>implying this isn't already the case in literally every country where Shia and Sunni are in contact
>>2890861
No only a minority of Islamist commit terrorism, the majority do support gassing infidels but rather do it the old fashion way AKA war instead of just bombing shit to scare people.
>>2890918
What in the flying fuck are you talking about? Muslims were fighting each other almost as soon as the prophet's body was cold.
>>2890954
You just believe muslims should stay divided so you can pick them off in a good old fashioned crUSAde. Or you think muslims aren't capable of being united at all despite how they were about a hundred years ago
>>2890960
A hundred years ago, King Feisal was lopping the heads off of occupying Turkish troops! What in the fuck are you fucking talking about!?
The only way this realistically happens is a caliphate.. A caliphate would probably seek to destroy the west/spread islam/kill the infidels/all that good shit
It would increase.
>>2890927
he pretty much did imply that
>>2890960
It wasn't crusaders that destroyed the Umayyad caliphate, it was muslims themselves. Though I guess you could blame ar*bs.
>>2890861
Only if Wahhab filth are hunted down and exterminated like the Noveau Riche rats that they are.

Despite your hostile overtones, yes. Arab Wahabists are THE obstacle to a peaceful, united religion. You don't even have to get Sunnis and Shiites to agree, just agree that the answer isn't killing each other.
