short. of the spain. competent of the under the sea into my youth kind of. this is the end of the youth in a city that ruled from the mask. in the seventh and eighth century. the death of the second caliph. in the hof a century of chaos among members of his family. and ten thirty one the ninth and last minute callous the sham. was forced to stand down. to the most of the most authentic. a look on the board in the levee what the south you know the committee that was in bed you

know yes you know you got it under those and said i'm going to answer. you know full well. that out of. the eye of. the. across the mediterranean the phantom it's in cairo also fell victim to better info . in ten twenty one zero six colors but how can. mysteriously disappeared in the cut them hills outside his capital. his death almost certainly at the hands of his own family. would be the start of the fact that it's long claws. from the late eleventh century onward

far to tell if it's increasingly losing control of affairs and that the political and military elites are starting to take over the state difficult. in baghdad. bassett's are suffering a similar effect. by the middle of the eleventh century. the sense jukes arising turk in a city that seized control of the caliphate. and how government is allowed to hot certain i love the moon what go on in but out what do you lack in the eleven via let me. why in the am i gonna shout son but. me was sherry. the subject rulers were the first to take the

didn't recognize as christians died and the chroniclers from the crusaders perspective present this is vengeance for the blasphemy that these saracens had done to the jesus's holy city of jerusalem. for no half century sturdier jerusalem had surrendered to the second caliph of a slam almost. but in ten months you knowing. as muslim saul to confront the marauding crusaders islam faced a burning question where was the caliph. the a bastard at that point had no military thoughts which they could have sent the father caliphate they had lost their syrian lands to. local warlords so when they saw the crusaders coming in they probably were quite happy to see that

these was up us we're now facing a major problem with these clearly quite strong military contingency moving in from europe. large areas of the levant were occupied. divided by the christians into four distinct fiefdoms. but after half a century of crusaders success muslim slowly began to fight back. but it was not the caliphs were led to fight. damascus syria. in the middle of the twelfth century this city was the capital of the zinc it's a turkish dentistry founded by

a man. the governor of northern living. in eleven forty four he had secured the first muslim victory against the crusaders. wellwood him out of the whole product him out of the saddle eleusinian be heaven into sought and the be infallible meant islamia and to. be and then to be in kenya and the head of all the bun. in eleven forty six. succeeded his father in the struggle against the crusaders and deliverance. two decades later he would be fighting over another progs. corner of the house and the store. owner has had him fall to meet him in his

inky and you second all the war jihad salumi and the other seller who ascended be sure to call what and kill him a chair call from the l a said. after five years of data. should call noted deans kurdish generals succeeded both in defeating the crusaders and seizing control of the fata mcallister. he was succeeded by his nephew salaheddine. a man known to the west a solid. so he saw that his political career as the was leader of the falcons so he had to acknowledge the supremacy of the father of the for two years.

but then eleven seventy one. is alive and switched his allegiance. bringing an end to a hospice centuries of the faults of its caliphate and declaring egypt's loyalty to the opposite caliph in but that is. why that is but most certainly is that i've been had one problem that he had no legitimacy so the main selling point for so he didn't throughout his career was about. the cutting costs of jordan. one of the largest crusader forts and the levant. from this powerful position the crusaders began to harass muslim trade caravans threatening even make it so. some had been unified

the syrian and egyptian political landscape and the only remaining. you would polities with it was say the states so it was natural for them to move against them . in july eleventh eighty seven here and also in palestine but the place known as the homes of. solid dean's forces crushed the crusaders. zero zero. zero zero. zero zero four months later jerusalem surrender. this time not one. but two occurred that sold clones. and. and if allowed bessie. life and.

an ancient school in better. built by the ambassador. it was part of a desperate effort to recapture the golden age of the early our best calif. in twelve forty two and most awesome succeeded his father as the thirty seventh calif. but he would soon face a new danger. the approach of the moment boards to. be phased by the mongols over all was seen as the major turning point in the recent history and when the moments came there was a clear sense of. the way of holding things. they will continue.

in january twelve fifty eight. the mongols reached back that. within two weeks the opposite capital had been brought to its knees. the caliph and the stasi was executed. the great city reduced to ashes. a five hundred year caliphate had come to an end. it was a moment that was but is a watershed but also a confirmation of a situation which it actually existed for quite a long time. some scholars of all get that it was of not any great significance because the real power of the abbasids had faded away hundreds of years ago when

they were just sitting around in that baghdad's palace and that their existence had very little meaning for the majority of. the slam was now in peril. the only remaining hope was the new soto's of egypt the man who looks. right at the slaves from central asia to form an army for the e.u. bits. they had supplanted some odd dealings dentist. in september twelve sixteen here at the in general in palestine. the member army but the mongols and that's. was a decisive victory for the most. the member looks at save the muslim

world. and their tenuous legitimacy. was about to be struck. there was a member of the abbas and family who managed to escape from the slaughter in baghdad and make his way to cairo where the mamelukes of egypt subsequently recognised his descendents as k.f.c. in cairo and derive benefit in the seat from this kind of shadow puppet caliphate. bolstered by the caliphs indorsement in twelve months he won. the man looks put an end to two centuries of christian crusades. aker. the last crusade the fortress on the mediterranean was captured.

meanwhile in anatolia a new muslim power was on the rise. a power which would carry the banner of islam to the gates of constantinople. in six twenty nine joining the life of the prophet muhammad. the first ever battle between muslims and by sun times took place here in. southern jordan. the fight ended with the muslims defeated and their withdrawal to medina. but the setback would be temporary. the progress great. eyes of constantinople

still back and. stumbled into the pavement i found they miss that one measure of pity how these evil you let it die under costantini evelyn m.l.a. miriam middle when any measure. if you can only see the stumble to fit the did. you read arab jargon for most of the tenth and eleventh century constantinople is described as the apple the ultimate prize that someday muslims will win and often the taking of constant noble is presented almost apocalyptic terms of something that will bring on the final victory of islam. that final victory would fall to the ultimate ends the turkic muslim tried to emigrate from central asia to settle in i'm told.

they get these a month out of that with a shot lot of mud the money of it the protestant on them at the beginning it died in it is that in a quarter to that yet. then you stumble a little. in april fourteenth fifty three minutes army siege to the great city. seven weeks later the ultimate spot for their way to constantinople. and as the victorious. entered the city through this gate. an eight hundred year old prophecy had come to pass.

this involves importance was known to muslims and also for european christians suddenly one of the major capitals of cristen them had become a muslim. but just as they tasted the fruits of victory. at the far end of the mediterranean. eight hundred years of muslim civilization. was about. to come crashing down. big stories generate thousands of headlines with different angles from different perspectives separate the spin from the facts that's why i am done. with the listening post on al-jazeera.

selim the first came to power in fifteen twelve. five years later he had toppled the man looked in history in egypt tripled the size of the ottoman empire. when the ottomans conquer egypt they take over from the mamelukes they can claim to be protective of their holy muslim sites mecca and medina and they feel like inherit the mantle of being caleb's from shadowline of apostate canucks in cairo. so consider you know one of those who do quite a few good to to have been covered based on. wasn't it that a good book on if it did it they've been quite a good to be can get away that you stumble but you don't write. you could turn it

the way we can do it and hung it's kind of a lot of dumb. but it is the. the top cop game. palace. legendary residents of the martin autumn are so gongs. that fifteen seventeen. the songs awarded themselves another on are targets. of. the most annoying centuries after the foundation of the cult of six there's. a title that slipped from the hands of arabs on the koran. the prophet strong. the ottomans don't seem to have made a huge amount of being k.f.c.

and whilst they did claim the title it was more of an honorific all something that indicated that they were first among muslim on. so the ottomans were not initially in the sixteenth seventeenth eighteenth century really claiming to be universal muslim really. yet after a slow decline of three centuries. the successors of these great ottomans all tones . were turned once again to the caliphate. in a desperate attempt to rescue their falling empire. palace istanbul. the residence of so far not the the second who came to the

throne in eighteen seventy six. he was a skilled carpenter. crafted most of his furniture. but as he chiseled in plain the carpenter saw. was contemplating the gradual loss of territories. by the late nineteenth century. much of the mighty ottoman empire was disappearing from the mouth. of the yet well a couple he left. but if but if it got to jemaah islamiya it's something that's

monumental joe and how will. you add that what you thought of cricket at. the moment that the bonus money and the match. that. bob just i mean cut them down or else funny it would be if a but she's a cut then had to be in it and i like that he's just the onion and medina and the work done but those commission. use them as a model. but the sole tones attempts to exploit the spiritual power of the title kind of could not save. in one thousand zero nine after honey it was deposed. measurement that. was it's told us the thirty fifth so-called ottoman states.

and go his coronation was marked by lavish traditional festivals in truth he was powerless. little fishies book is that he divided all smaller then let the they stay down to a small a day that did it up the paths shouted out at me i may fade out it here because that that i keep good name is bit of the truth of that is that you did good by the committee who got it here. in november nineteen fourteen. the ultimates entered world war one on the side of the central powers. whole evil in the name of the conduct a war that which is bizarre strikes for the common folks. on the other side of the treacherous western powers saw an officer.

put it on a camp in the caribbean monopoly and locked the can back in and now you summon monopolists not to. when you get it from going to know how do you know my. friend said that somebody in the dhamma to have been a formal result of the men who survived. and to encourage the arabs to rise up and revolt. the british to return to the ancient power of the coliseum. and the person of. the custodian of much. the super tornado stuff even i would know something. about a follow up was not a. day he had been kidney of some of.

the four. in june one thousand nine hundred sixteen. what was called the great arab revolt erupted in. a desert region in the west of what is now saudi arabia. under the. sun. and with the help of a british officer. lawrence. forces of france northwards supported by the british were tacked on to. within two years in one thousand nine hundred eighteen the joint forces had taken the whole of the levant and iraq. in october of that here an armistice was concluded. the ultimate suffered a humiliating defeat it. and

july nineteenth eighty. four months before the end before or one. a new super off spring. he was to rule over what was left of your thumb and. virtually nothing anatolia and istanbul. but even this would soon be lost. just two days after the end of the war french or british troops marched into lucky boy in the autumn and companies of. anatolia was

divided between the western powers. to make it what do ya is it and they can't take this flaw was to mandate it. with them it's. in the things the on the d. other want to achieve a bombs is strong that it's just that yoke. turkish nationalist resistance broke out. after three years of bloody fighting. the turks accept the brits and it's. only a stumble was left occupied. and in it was a small town now if you would buy nationalist turks as a traitor. if they can go to such a new cousin or was it out there like that to follow it up i'd be fair cautious

a little not a bunch of the same eastenders. shit is either shut i know as a monday signed. but i don't want to mustn't use them yet. how to get a caution given those that are let. in on camera on the first of november nineteenth twenty two. the turkish national assembly abolished the sultanate. two weeks later. midway did deep soul tone and calif. left the dome a budget palace. the residence of ultimate rulers through this gate bound for exile.

up in madrid the second was chosen to hold the now largely symbolic tie to come. to the kitchen with the bomb society got it down the aisle for that that it. could either at the national civic need that they make it or that you push back on the love them in the one you think all the while see that someday as that of it all ali the bush and bush all molly that how. they did it they had to be made. on the third of march nineteenth twenty four. the last vestiges of the caliphate were dismantled by the new turkish republic. the title of the universal movie slam. title thirteen centuries old. and been terminated by muslims themselves.

optima g. . the last autumn in color. was sent into permanent. washington dualists not me i'm a predator she got an email from. one. figured i'd. be in the. top of the market here. before you jump. that high you feel india. the name your love. all over the call the call that a lot. of the. question that you get a call that should the doctors that. you get on the air.

that caylee is meant to be a universal figure who draws support from the misnamed community as a whole that is obviously not the case with a bucket and the fact that all the historical record also shows that when people con game broad based consensus that caliphate automatically becomes invalidate. the caliphate is such an extraordinary entity. as an outsider i wish that the islamic world like to have something represent them all that stops the traditions of political violence or civil war what about the other side of islam which i'm afraid the west doesn't really understand.
