Since September 11th, 2001 A renewed interest in Islam has been found by the media. But are the right questions being asked? Is Islam a religion of peace? If so, is it a political, economic and judicial system consistent with a democratic society?

What is Khilafism? Does a khilafate recognize such modern devices as "Equal protection under the law"? Does a political system that once took children away from their parents as a form of taxation have a place in the 21st century?

This forum introduces select news stories from the media that will, hopefully, bolster greater understanding of khilafism and its impact on modern society.
