Caliphate is the only solution and nothing else
For a period of thousand years and sanctuary of the border of Caliphate was violated after first invasion of holy Iraq in 1914. And fact is today’s crisis started since then. Compare economy of new Saudi or Kuwait or UAE which never existed in the history of mankind and Yemen or Sudan and Somalia.
Let us define terrorism. Was not act of lying and deceiving of Clive of Bengal terrorism?
Was not act of lying and deceiving of T. E Lawrence terrorism?
First one was behind destruction of Muslim rule in present Bangladesh, India and Pakistan?
Second one was behind the destruction of 1300 years old Caliphate with first invasion of holy Iraq in 1914.
This cycle of destruction and killing will continue till Caliphate is reestablished. All of us will test death though none of us knows what each of us will face the moment process of death starts and up to Day of Judgment.
Regarding Mosque and Caliphate, Muslim prayer is not valid as per following greatest Islamic scholar during his time till today:
Address by the Right Hon. Syed Ameer Ali on Islam in the League of Nations in 1919
ISLAM IN THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
ADDRESS BY THE RIGHT HON. SYED AMEER ALI
ON ISLAM IN THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Transactions of the Grotius Society, Vol 5, Problem of Peace and War, Paper before the Society in the Year 1919. (1919). Pp 126-144
The Caliph is the spiritual leader; unless there
is a Caliph the prayers are not valid. The spiritual leadership (the
Imamate) is of two kinds or degrees; there is the chief Imam and
the minor Imam. The man who reads the prayers is the minor
Imam; the Caliph who gives validity to the prayers is the chief
Imam. The Caliph, whether in Bagdad or Constantinople, is the
man who imparts validity. The fact of his existence gives validity
to the prayers of the congregation. In order to create a spiritual
nexus between the Imam and the congregation, the existence of a
Caliph is essential. The chief Imam must be spiritually and temporally
independent.
