“The purpose of the Afghan war” is to stop the “return of the Caliphate” - UK General

Listen from 4 mins on, especially at 5:35: “the high water mark of the last caliphate”.

A British general telling us which version of Islam is acceptable? This is an interview with UK General “Sir” Richard Dannatt.

Isn’t it incredible how he tells us what the perversion of Islam is and isnt?! And how the caliphate is only (supposedly!) the aspiration of “Al Qaeda”? This is the strategy of the west- paint the caliphate as an al Qaeda project, paint Al Qaeda as the great terrorists, and so the caliphate becomes a form of extremism in itself.

It has nothing to do with 9/11, it has nothing to do with Peace in Afghanistan. These are all reasons to invade Afghanistan for a SOLE purpose, that is to prevent the caliphate. That is why their reasons for this war changes every time.

The former head of the British army states that the objective for Britain and US in Afghanistan is preventing the establishment of a Caliphate that would expand from South Asia until it could threaten Europe at the Mediterranean. It is perhaps the clearest explanation so far from a member of the military establishment in the UK about their fear of the establishment of the Khilafah since Tony Blair’s famous speech.
