The United South Asian Empire is pleased to announce to the world our alliance with the Third Mexican Empire.
This union shall certainly prove beneficial to both nations, militarily and economically. As we speak, 5,000 Mexican troops are en route to the USAE for training in Special Operations and assymetrical warfare. This is to confront the rising threat of the so called Caliphate of Istanbul. Also, from this day,a defensive pact shall commence between the two brotherly nations

Hail to the great leader Don Símon Salazar, the rightful leader and guide of the Mexican People. We, the office of defence have a public declaration to be made. On this day, the Third Mexican Empire will enter into a defensive pact with the honorable nation of The United South Asian Empire. It is with great pleasure that we enter into this partnership with them, finding these people much more honor among them than our so called fellow christian nations. In response to their generous act of training our troops, we, the industrious people of Glorious Mexico will begin largescale production of armaments to be shipped as payment.

We, the nation of Glorious Mexico would like to firmly assert our position as a the greatest of all servants to God. It is true that to be a Catholic is essential to being a true Mexican. And so, with the guidance of our magnificent leader, the infallibale Don Salazar, that we will declare outselves the one true Defender of the Catholic Faith. We shall stand in solidarity with any catholic peoples in the world, and come to the defence of any catholic peoples who feel that oppression has come upon them.

This leads into our next point, that we cannot stand for the intolerance and brutality that the barbarians who rule without legitimacy over the Caliphate of Istanbul. And so, standing with the catholics who face danger and fear for their lives in Caliphate territory, such as the Maronites of Lebanon; we The Third Empire of Mexico, the true warriors of god, declare holy war upon the Caliphate of Istanbul.

---- Mexican Beureu of Defence, Gloria a Don Salazar

FROM THE OFFICE OF HIS MAJESTY SHAH ALAMGIR II:

Through the actions commited by the fake caliphate of Istanbul, their oppression of humankind, both muslim and non muslim, we have been left with no other option than to follow suit of our Mexican brothers and declare a jihad against the Istanbul state. Today, at 0315, our troops have crossed into Iran from multiple districs in the provinces of Afghanistan and Balochistan. USAE troops have taken the Iranian cities of Zast and Ghanoubeh, and will continue advancing west.
May Allah grant us victory in this just conflict.

SHAH ALAMGIR ZINDABAD

FOREIGN AFFAIRS OFFICE OF THE GREATER EUROPEAN CONFEDERATION

It is with great dismay that the nations of the Greater European Confederation condemn the actions taken by the nations of the Third Mexican Empire and the United South Asian Empire. In a world so recently ravaged by war, it pains the members of the GEC to observe the conflict arbitrarily initiated by the Third Mexican Empire.

The Confederation regards the Third Mexican Empire as having no cassuss belli to justify the conflict other than claims of maltreatment of Christians within the territory of the Caliphate of Istanbul. We deplore the religious extremism that would drive the two aggressor nations to conduct this conflict and regard the war as unwarranted.

Furthermore, the Confederation implores fellow nations to impose economic and political sanctions upon these two countries. Should further action be needed, the Greater European Confederation is willing to speak with fellow non-belligerent nations to discern a solution to the problem. We pledge aid to the Caliphate of Istanbul for refugees that may be displaced by the conflict.

THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF THE USAE

With due respect, we would like to remind the GEC of the numerous, internationally recognized human rights violatuons and war crimes perpatrated and encouraged by the Istanbul Caliphate, and are shocked that a continent, once renowned for the advancement of human rights would ignore, and perhaps, approve of these violations of man's basics rights.

In response to the call for sanctions, we aren't losing sleep over it. The GEC produces nothing that the USAE is in want of, in fact, we wonder how they will fare without the I.T. that was formerly provided to them by our great nation. We also formally dismiss the GEC's diplomat. We look to the future with the hope that one day the GEC and the USAE may resume their friendship.

Sir Saeed Mustafa
Minister of Foreign Affairs

Mexican Beureu of Foreign Affairs

Hail to the great leader Don Símon Salazar, the rightful leader and guide of the Mexican People.

The Third Mexican Empire is appaled by the actions undertaken by the GEC, and that they would not only condemn this just war against a brutal rogue nation, and would implore others to sabatoge a conflict that may bring back basic human rights to the horrificly brutalized religious minorities of the Caliphate, well known across the world as targets of Genocide and Enslavement. We wonder if the GEC may in fact have turned their backs on the European Value of Human Rights. But it is of no matter, the Glorious nation of Mexico fears not any sactions you may request, and we would like to formally cease all trade with the GEC and expell all GEC based companies. No longer shall we provide automotives and industrial machinery for the GEC, these shall go to the deserving citizens of Mexico.

Suleymaniye mosque Istanbul

Thousands of Muslims have gathered in the Suleymaniye mosque to participate in the traditional Friday prayers of Islam. This Friday Caliph Mohammed Salah Ibn Al-Arabi would lead the prayers. Mohammed Salah had been chosen by the Shura as Caliph of the Istanbul Caliphate 10 years ago after the dead of the previous Caliph. Mohammed Salah stroke his long black beard once and started to speak.

“ Brothers, today the fragile peace of this world has been broken. 15 years ago the third world war came to an end. Reshaping the world, redrawing borders. The nations that are here today have been born through blood and fire. We all remember the horrors, we all honor the fallen martyrs and we all wish to see our sons and daughters grow up in peace. We have worked hard to reestablish peaceful relationships with our neighbors and bring stability to the Arabic world. Under our leadership the Middle-east has known a period of unprecedented peace and prosperity. For 15 years our women could go to the markets without having to fear to be blown up. For 15 years the people of Palestine could walk the streets of Gaza city without the fear of being bombed. This fear is now back.

The Mexican Empire and their United South Asian Empire friends have declared war on the Caliphate unprovoked. Destroying the fragile after world war 3 peace and returning the flames of war once again to the world Allah has given us, staining its soil with the blood of the innocent. USAE troops have violated the sovereignty of Iran and are marching towards our borders. Once again my brothers The Caliphate must ask his sons to take up the sword in order to defend our children from brutal imperialism from beyond the seas. Once again our sons will become martyrs to perserve our way of live and to defend the children of Islam. Long live the Caliphate!”

The crowd cheered “ Allahu Akbar!”

Meanwhile full scale mobilization of the Caliphate's armed forces went underway. Units of the great Caliphs army take on defensive positions all across the border with the Caliphate and Iran in order to deal with the invaders. The Caliphate's navy started to extensively patrol the Gulf of Aden and the Straight of Gibraltar. Effectively closing entry to the Mediterranean Sea for Mexican and USAE ships.

A proposition to all the nations of the world

Greetings my brothers,

Our world has been shaped by fire and blood. Our fields have been stained with the violence of world war. Our mothers still weep over their lost sons on the battlefield of 15 years ago. Only time can heal can heal the scars of war. The Caliphate does not wish to rip open these wounds that have just barely been closed. We do not seek conflict nor expansion of our borders. We seek to preserve our way of life and to give the Muslims of this world a home where they can practice their religion without interference and oppression.

The Istanbul Caliphate does not believe that the world should be cast once again into the horrors of war. The Caliphate greatly condemns the USAE violation of the Iranian sovereignty. A neutral country that we have been at peace with for 15 years. In order to resolve this crisis the great Caliph proposes to hold a peace conference in a neutral country between all the major powers. Only through working together we can maintain this fragile peace and prevent that this world will be once again engulfed in the flames of war.

May the world prosper in peace.

Caliph Mohammed Salah Ibn Al-Arabi

FROM THE OFFICE OF SHAH ALAMGIR II OF THE UNITED SOUTH ASIAN EMPIRE

I address the false caliph Mohammed Salah Ibn Al-Arabi. The "peace" that you speak so highly of, stands on a foundation of the bodies of the innocents you have slaughtered. Your nation, in its illegitimate rise to power, have killed millions of Shias, Yazidis, Christians, and Kurds. The ones that were blessed by Allah to be saved from your bloodlust were forced to either flee their rightful homes, or to be wrongfully enslaved. You claim to be the leader of Sunni muslims, as your hands are stained with the blood of innocent Kurds, the majority of whom ARE Sunni. How can you claim to be the champion of peace after wrongfully expelling 50 million people?

Indeed, Allah enjoins justice, and the doing of good to others; and giving like kindred; and forbids indecency, and manifest evil, and wrongful transgression. He admonished you that you may take heed. (Al Quran 16:91)

You have no legitimate claim to be the leader of the believers as you yourself have transgressed against Allah almighty himself.

Our Nation, Praise be to Allah, has a muslim majority and is ruled by a pious Muslim. Our duty as Muslims is to defend innocent people, whatever may be their caste or creed. Fighting your reign of evil isn't a simple war, it's a religious duty.
How dare you invoke the name of the people of Gaza, and spread amongst them false fear? This my message to the people of gaza, and indeed all people currently under the oppressive occupation by the "Caliphate of Istanbul": I am your servant. You have no need to fear our troops. We are your defenders and liberators, and prepared to shed the last drop of our blood for you.

When we liberate Jerusalem, God willing we will open the city for people of all faiths to worship and reside there, as it should be.

I demand that you immediately stop the oppression of my shia, christian, yazidi and Kurdish brothers
I demand you renounce your fake title of Caliph.
I demand you relinquish all control of the territories you currently occupy, and allow the people themselves to decide what their future should be.
I demand the immediate release of all peoples who have been wrongfully enslaved by your cruel regime.
Until then, I shall fight you till the last of my breath.

SHAH ALAMGIR II

Ten Thousand Members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church have gathered outside of the Holy Church of Jesus Christ, the most holy Church in all of Africa. They have gathered today to hear the speech of Zakariah Abraham Zaile and his thoughts of the joint Jihad-Crusade against the Caliphate.

“Hello, my fellow Ethiopians, I welcome you today to hear my speech on the war that has just been declared against the followers of Allah to the North. They follow a religion that oppressed us and our brothers for over one thousand years. They follow a version of our God that wants the world to be united under one global Caliphate, and yet, they are our brothers. They follow the same God as us, just in different ways. They have majority of the same prophets as us, just with different names. This though, does not mean they are off the hook. They oppressed and murdered fellow followers of Christ, and now, the fellow followers of Allah have declared war against them. Our brothers on Each side are fighting each other, and I had a vision last night from God, he stated that I must consult my allies and then decide if we are going to fight against the Caliph, until then, the Caliphate and the Muslims living in our nation are safe. That is all, Good day, and God bless."

Zakariah Abraham Zaile walked back into the Church and looks the statue of Jesus Christ in the eyes made of stone. "Oh Lord, please help guide me into the right decisions in this. I trust that you shall lead me to the correct decision."

Outside, the crowd starts to bustle and they walk out from the garden that lies outside the Church.

Don Simon Salazar reclined in his chair as he and his advisors debated on what course of action to take in the upcoming crusade. The heads of the various bureaus squabbled over what was best. Isabella Hernandez of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, Nicolas Abarca of the Defense Bureau, and Constantino Cuautlaxahue of the Bureau of Religious Affairs, were in particular in heated debate of what exactly to do.

"We must break though Gilbraltar!" Abarca shouted, slamming his fist hard into the table before them; even getting a glance from Don Salazar himself. "Any other option would simply be foolish, we must take a direct approach!"

"And do what, Nicolas? Be weakened by a needless naval battle before we even enter into the Mediterranean?" Cuautlaxahue retorted, with Hernandez nodding in agreement.

"We cannot simply attack from the front, we need an alternative passage towards the Caliphate" she responded after the Religious Head had his turn to speak.

"What alternative routes? Go around the Cape of Good Hope? Do you know how much time we would waste trying to navigate under Africa?" Abarca replied, in an almost desperate tone.

It was at this moment that Don Salazar stood up from his chair and slowly approached the fighting administrators. All in the room were silent as the Don approached the three fighting Bureau Heads.

"Perhaps Africa is not the passage that we need, but It is certainly a place we must turn our attentions to." He said, handing the telegram from Zakariah Abraham Zaile. "It is news from Ethiopia, and we had best take head of their help in our conflict"

The others nodded in agreement as Bureau Head Hernandez spoke up, "Great Don, may I reply to the message?"

"Immediately, Miss Hernandez." He said, nodding. "Shah Alamgir has told me of his descision, and I request you send the message on behalf of both us and the USAE"

Isabella nodded and left to respond.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS OFFICE OF THE GEC

The GEC remains unperturbed by the cessation of trade with the states of the Third Mexican Empire and the United South Asian Empire. This action serves to further make the GEC a viable, independent economy. Any resources and products previously acquired from these two countries, if any, may be acquired elsewhere.

A never before seen stability came to the lands controlled by the Caliphate and this stability still holds firm, ensuring the cessation of large armed conflict inside and outside the country. In these fifteen years, the Caliphate of Istanbul has made no aggressive actions against the rest of the world yet has war declared upon it.

The GEC condemns the events that took place many years ago with the inception of the state, disapproving of the means used to assume control of the nation. Yet a war which may leave many more millions of people dead in its wake if not halted is worse by a large scale. In addition, the GEC joins the Caliphate in condemning the violation of Iranian sovereign without previous consent, viewing this action as the move taken by a bellicose nation set upon war.

As of this point in time, any and all Mexican and South Asian ships attempting to pass through the Mediterranean territory controlled by the GEC will be detained for inspection.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Thousands of people, politicians, reporters, and various onlookers had gathered in front of Aso Villa, the home to the most powerful man in Nigeria. The people waiting silently as President Daifallah Mir stepped out onto the small podium that had been set up for him.

“Roughly fifteen years ago today, the Caliphate of Istanbul massacred over 15 million Christians, Shiites, and Kurds. They were also responsible for one of the largest mass emigration this world has seen, nearly 50 million people forced to leave their country. Now that brings us to today, the nations of The Third Mexican Empire and The United South Asian Empire have declared a “jihad” against not only the Caliphate, but against it’s people.

We as people would like to think that we can understand atrocities, for even we have been exposed to them. Under the leadership of Mubashshir Hameed we ourselves killed nearly 8 million Christian men, women, and children. Mostly in our home state. As a result I would like to think that if we can be forgiven for our crimes, then so should the Caliphate, but we understand that this is not our war to fight. At least not with a gun held to their heads. So until a proper solution can determined or a white peace has been reached we will impose trade sanctions upon both aggressors.”

The crowd remained silent, out of both astonishment and fear. The only sounds that could be heard was the occasional photo taken of the president as he too stood in silence. That last words before the speech ended from Daifallah Mir where “May Allah have mercy on those involved.” While the crowd loudly clapped and cheered, the tension of conflict could still be felt by the crowd and the president.

"They did what?" asked the Tsar Vyacheslav Putin to the messenger who came to the door. "Now we have two entirely unrelated countries invading Iran and tearing across the country to fight the Caliphate? Sometimes I truly don't comprehend Muslims, even though we have tens of millions of them. Or Catholics, for that matter."

Anya, his wife, from a nearby recliner reading the newspaper, glanced up. "I know what you mean. But this is not the time to become frustrated. We must take the opportunity to claim the moral high ground, and exploit this division between our two enemies."

"And this message from the Ethiopians, as pretentious as they are to invoke Orthodox kinship with us?"

Putting aside her newspaper, she rose and placed her hands upon her husband's. "I know this must be ideologically frustrating for you, but I for one believe it is a good idea. There are no more socialist countries in the world, let alone socialist countries like us. We need external allies if we are to survive against our greatest enemies.

Tsar Putin mused to himself for a moment, and then said, "Yes, I think I know what to write now."

To the Nations of the World

Surely, the Soviet Empire more than any other nation recognizes the danger which extreme religion can pose to nations and societies. However, the rogue empires of Mexico and South Asia have determined that the best way to eliminate that danger is to arbitrarily invade a neighboring state in the process of attacking the Caliphate of Istanbul. While we might applaud their initiative in other circumstances, Greater Russia finds the need to categorically condemn the actions of South Asia as a blatant power and land-grab designed to add numerous additional lands to their empire. This action is a flagrant violation of the sovereignty of Iran and of the sanctity of whatever international law remains. As such, the Soviet Empire of Greater Russia stands in solidarity with the Greater European Confederation in imposing a strict embargo on the United South Asian Empire, as approved by the Duma of this constitutional monarchy this morning, but not, however, on Mexico, believing their intentions to be purer of heart.

-Tsar of Greater Russia, Vyacheslav Putin

Athens, Theme of Greece

Arkhigos Nikolaos Michaloliakos stood at the doors of the Hellenic Parliament, surrounded by a sea of journalists and correspondents. The cacophony of questions and inquiries; loud enough to be heard at the Acropolis, it sounded; stopped at a raise of his hand.

"People of Greece, and to all the Hellenes across the world, and to those who stand resolute in the true Orthodox faith.

Today we have heard news of the terrible events unfolding in our neighbour, the so-called 'Caliphate'. The world has become aware of the atrocities committed against religious minorities, in particular, the Marionites of Lebanon. This cannot be tolerated.

We are commencing talks with the belligerent powers and our allies in the faith, Russia and Ethiopia. Together, we can solve these problems and free the Christian peoples of the Middle East, whether through diplomacy - or, if our hand is forced, through war. We have no desire to return to the bloodshed of the past, but our historic ties to the great city of Constantinople and the fertile land of Anatolia turns our hearts and minds ever eastwards. These lie in the hands of extremists and terrorists, but it is foretold in prophecy that one day, the Church of the Holy Wisdom, Hagia Sofia herself, will fall back into the hands of the Christians. Then, Emperor Constantine XI will arise and lead the army of Greece in battle against the infidels.

We live in hope of that day."

The roar of the crowd echoed across the city, cheers and shouts filling the air.

Acapulco, Mexico Province
It was from this point on that 15 Ships of the Mexican Imperial Navy began departure across the Pacific. So today would begin the first offensive actions in the war against The Caliphate. Across the pacific towards the Horn of Africa, and from there would hopefully begin the next stage of the war. The Mexicans were watching with tenseness, air around them heavy as they watched the fleet depart into the pacific.

And so by the end of the first day, the fleet had reached out to the Marshall Islands, and here they would continue out and over the Philippines, and though Indonesia, finally up to Sri Lanka. The Journey would take a full week to complete, and from there the fleet would move to the Horn of Africa.

The fleet's leader was checking and determining the logistics of the trip, and hoping that everything would fall into plan. The crusade must go on, and with the grace of God, they would liberate the Levant.

"So they're taking the Pacific route then?"

It was the early hours of the night in the capital, and the stars above were drowned out by the lights below. The capital building of the UTA was a 326 meter tall obelisk-like skyscraper, the tallest in the city. It had once been home to a luxury hotel and corporate offices, but after the founding of the UTA, it has been quickly declared the capital building and the "Pentagon of the West". It was a questionable decision, picking the most obvious building in a skyline as home to your entire government and military, but it hadn't been moved in decades. The decision also gave rise to more than one joke about compensation.

As he usually was, Richard MacEoin was very much awake. He had never had the best of sleeping habits, instead preferring to stay awake as long as possible in order to be available in the event of a crisis. Given that he was a dictator and lived in a giant skyscraper in the middle of a similarly giant city, it was probably a good thing. When Yuuki Sora had walked into the room, he had been scouring the internet for updates on the Caliphate situation. The less reputable, more tinfoil-obsessed ones as well. After all, among all of the conspiracy theories saying that WWIII actually started in early 2015 with a Russian attack on Alaska the USA kept secret, there were usually heavily biased reports of recent events.

"Yes Sir." Responded Yuuki, setting her tablet down on Richard's desk. It was displaying predicted Mexican fleet movements. "They departed quite recently with fifteen ships. Almost certainly for the Caliphate, after all, they wouldn't send fifteen vessels against our Navy, and no troop movements have been reported on the border. It would appear that we've got some time to lift a few more weights before we throw a punch."

"Hmm..." Said Richard, diverting his eyes to his own computer. "The world doesn't seem to like the Caliphate all that much, and for good reason. They've killed a lot of their people and called it 'unification', and now they call their policy of murdering anyone who doesn't pray to the Abrahamic God in the specific way they do 'keeping the peace'."

Yuuki smiled, knowing exactly what Richard was getting at.

"Our fleet can catch them at the Marshall Islands if you give the order now."

Richard pressed a key on his computer, immediately linking him to the Naval Command section of the tower.

"Dispatch an attack force to the Marshall islands, we're going after the Caliphate. Make it double-time, I want you to meet with the Mexican fleet. Ančjo can take care of the details, I'll have forwarded the situation to his tablet shortly."



Twenty UTA ships approached the Mexican fleet, two aircraft carriers, six cruisers, and a dozen destroyers. Their missiles tubes were closed and railguns stowed as they came closer and closer. For a moment, it looked as if there was going to be a battle. The UTA and Mexican Empire hadn't been on the best of terms since the Second Mexican-American War, and there were very few reasons the Empire had to not declare war. Little did they know, the UTA planned to give them one such reason.

"No doubt Nigerian's support the Islamic people," said Folami Sow, sadly. "As a matter of fact, they haven't," said Baako, Folami's assistant, "They've instead chosen to remain neutral, at least for the time being," Baako handed Folami a newspaper article with Daifallah Mir's face on the front, "But military involvement, while not inevitable, seems highly probable."

"At least we have time to react. We aren't going to let them get their hands on our military equipment. Before long, they'll be knocking on our door, asking for all of our equipment. And of course, we can just never say no, can we?" ranted Sow

"I agree sir, but it would be best if we could avoid all of that entirely," said Baako quickly, "perhaps there is a way for them tor remain neutral, throughout the entire conflict."

"Hmm... have any ideas how we could possibly manage to do that?" asked Sow.

"Erm... Not exactly... the GEC is discussing the whole situation in Hamburg, Germany. They invited five different countries. I wasn't told many details from the Nigerian official that I talked with, unfortunately."

Sow thought for a moment. "Of course we weren't invited. We're just a damn extension of Nigeria. Most people forget that we're even on the map. If we were invited, I could perhaps influence the Nigerian's decision... but I'm not going to go up to the GEC and ask if we can go. It would be a terrible decision. Either those who support the GEC will think we are suspicious, or those who side against the GEC will think we are siding against them. And while the Nigerians losing neutrality is one issue, us losing neutrality is even worse."

"Why don't we ask Nigeria if we can join them on their expedition to Hamburg? Send a message to both the GEC and The Republic of Nigeria, but make it seem like it is merely a way to keep tabs on Nigeria," said Baako.

"I hate to say it, but you may be on to something. You know how much I like asking the Nigerians for favors though..."

In the bowels of the massive building housing the center of the Greater European Confederation- if not physically, then in spirit-people bustled, rushing to and fro, attempting to remain informed as to the developing situations across the globe. The Confederations push for economic independence did not equate to a cessation of relationships with other states in the world. Relationships were the reason for the bustle at this time of morning, intelligence and military personnel mingling with politicians and accountants, each a small part in the greater game of politics.

In the Chancellors' Chambers, eighteen people met to discuss the escalation of the conflict spawned by the Third Mexican Empire and the United South Asian Empire, each an important figure in the Confederated state. At the moment all sat in silence, staring at the display screen mounted on the wall.

"Are you sure they're moving towards the Caliphate?" queried Andrej Dusan, one of the two Chancellors of the Confederation. A slight man with thinning hair, his bespectacled face appeared haggard, wearied of late by the strain required to manage a nation combined with a new situation unseen in the past twenty-ish years.

"Positive, mein herr," replied General Gernot Bocker. "Our intelligence sources confirm that both Mexican and Unified Territories of America ships left Pacific ports yesterday. While the intent of the American vessels is unknown, the destination of the Mexican fleet can be assumed to be the Caliphate. Our intelligence lines do not stretch far or deep enough to know of their exact position, but there are those more knowledged in these matters than I am."

The second Chancellor, Karen Årud, sighed heavily, her body and mind as tired as that of Andrej. "The world slips closer to devastation each day. We cannot let this pass. As was discussed earlier, a proposition for escalation of readiness should be put forth to parliament, in addition to a redeployment of some of our Mediterranean elements. I fear that we do not currently have enough nations confirming to attend the conference to make a difference. A list of candidates has been assembled. Time is of the essence, my friends. God speed."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hours later, after little deliberation, the alert level of the Greater European Confederation was raised by two increments, placing the nation on medium-high alert. One of the Confederation's Mediterranean-based carriers departed for the Caliphate with it's escort of three destroyers, two cruisers, and four submarines.

Al-Jareera world news

Al-Jazeera world news is the first television station to broadcast live on the revolving crisis in the Middle-East with an over an hour long special broadcast. The broadcast is on cable television all across the world. The language used in the show is English but for different countries it usus subtitles in the native language

The news anchor started to speak. “Welcome to Al-Jazeera world news. I am your host Omar Bin Abdullah and today we will discuss the declaration of war against The Caliphate of Istanbul. Joining me are Historian Ahmed Zaraki, military analsist Mohamed Bahri and Middle-Eastern political Analyst Ali Hafeez. Welcome to the Show gentlemen. Before we start our round table discussion we go live to different cities within the Islamic world. Our Reporters are currently on scene in Istanbul, Jerusalem, Beirut, Baghdad, Ryad, Tripoli, Tunis, Algirs, Marakech. And many more in the Islamic world We now go live to Amir Al-Hamid in Ryad, Saudi-Arabia”

The broadcast switched flawlessly to the live situation in Ryad. Behind the reporter a massive crowd has gathered in the streets carrying protest signs and scanting against the Mexican and USAE aggression. “ This is Amir Al-Hamid live from Ryad, Saudi-Arabia. As you can see, literally hundreds of thousands of people have been hitting the streets into massive protests against the unprovoked aggression against The Istanbul Caliphate and the Islamic Republic of Iran. I've talked with many of the protesters here and they see the declaration of war and the invasion of Iran not only as an attack on those countries but as an attack on Islam as a whole. Local Islamic leaders in Saudi-Arabia have even called for a Jihad against what they call Christian and Hindu crusaders. If you look behind me you can see how Saudi-Arabian protesters burn flags of the Mexican Empire and USAE. As you can see, the actions of the Mexicans and USAE are extremely unpopular. This was Amir Al-Hamid, speaking live from Ryad.”

The broadcast turns back to the studio and the anchor takes over. “Thank you for your contribution Amir. All across the Arabic peninsula and North-African coast we can see similar public reactions. Both in the Caliphate and neutral countries such as Saudi-Arabia, Morocco and Tunisia people are expressing their anger over the actions of The decision to declare war on the Caliphate has ignited a public rage all across the Islamic world. The Caliphate seems really popular in the Islamic world”

Historian Amhed Zaraki turns towards the shows host and started to speak. “ The Caliphate has gained an incredible amount of credibility within the Islamic world from destroying the state of Israel and liberating the Palestinian people from Zionist oppression. For the first time since Israel started their blockade of the Gaza strip the people of Gaza have access to sufficient medical and food supplies. Their children can go to school without getting bombed and they can travel the world without restrictions. Also they have effectively ended the over a decade long Syrian civil war and stopped the sectarian violence in Iraq. Where the international community failed to provide solutions the Caliphate took decisive action. Their methods where very extreme with many cases of genocide and mass deportations of all unwanted groups. The Caliphate's policies have greatly contributed to the stability and prosperity of the region after the Arabic war.”

Ali Haafiz hooks in on the discussion. “ Yes, the popularity under Sunni Muslims is unprecedented. However their mistreatment of many religious and ethnic minorities during the Arabic war has given the Caliphate a terrible reputation with Christian and Shia countries. The abolishment of the Orthodox church have strained the relations with countries such as Hellas severely. In the international theater the Caliphate stands alone.
Host Omar Bin Abdullah turned towards the military analyst on the other side of the table. “Mister Bahri, could you comment on the possibility of military success in the war against the Caliphate?”

Mohamed Bahri turned towards the host and started to speak. “Of course. In the current situation the chances of military success by the USAE and the Mexican Empire are slim. The USAE has done a major geopolitical blunder by doing their sneak attack on the Republic of Iran. The relations between Iran and the Caliphate aren't very good. During the Arabic war Iran lost all its influence in the Arabic peninsula and have lost its status of regional power. There might have been a decent posibility to force an alliance with Iran in exchange for a strong influence in the peninsula. However the USAE chose to violate their sovereignty without even a declaration of war. By invading Iran unprovoked their cause has lost credibility as a just one and made this war effectively one against both major forms of Islam. In the Islamic world this new war will be seen as one of that determines the survival of their religion. The next major problem for the USAE will be to supply a fighting force all the way from India, through Pakistan, Afghanistan and Iran. Not only is the infrastructure in those parts in the world insufficient for such an operation, they are all inhabited by Muslims. Once the images of dead baby Muslims will fill the ether, their loyalty to the USAE becomes very questionable. For a country like the Caliphate it will be very easy to radicalize such populations once the horrors of war become publicly known. Then the USAE will find their supply lines dangerously exposed and their internal stability shattered”

Mohamed Bahri posed for a moment. “Even if the coalition manages to overcome such challenges and military defeat the Caliphate they will have one major problem. How do you pacify 190 million angry Muslims who do not want the foreign oppressors in their country. Just in order to control such large populations they will need millions of soldiers to perform counter insurgency for many decades. The monthly losses will be huge. Just remember that the world leading military power of the 20th and early 21st century failed to do the same on a much smaller scale in just Afghanistan and Iraq.”

The camera turned towards the news anchor again and Omar Bin Abdullah started to speak again. “Thank you for your contribution mr Bahri. We will have to see how this crisis will unfold in the future. We will keeping a close eye on the situation as it has the potential to drag many more countries into a war of Christianity vs Islam. We might see world war 4 here in the making. For now, we turn to Tehran where Ayattolah Al-Karimi will address the world about the sudden invasion of his country."

Tehran, Iran.

Television crews from all across the world have gathered to broadcast this speech. The speech will be live broad-casted in every country across the world as the events unfolding in the Middle-East are the biggest crisis in human history since world war 3.

Surrounded by dozens of microphones Al-Karimi hit the stage in Iran. He looked around at the hundreds of reporters and crew members that stood in front of him and finely started to speak. “Tonight I address the world not only as leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran but also as a human being that lived through the horrors of the 3th world war. Twenty years ago our world plummeted into chaos and got consumed by the flames of war and was cast into a terrible darkness that lasted for 5 years. We all suffered terribly under the conditions of war and millions of innocent lives where lost as countries crumbled and borders got redrawn. My country fought a bitter war with the Caliphate and suffered terribly. The horrors of that war are still fresh in our memory and we honor the fallen every day. We also know that people on the other side suffered equally terrible. Also their mother weep for the loss of their sons. If the events of of 20 years ago has though the Iranian people one thing..... it is the value of peace.
Once again the world is slipping into darkness as countries are let their judgment get clouded by hate, mistrust and ambition. Right now my country is being invaded by the United South Asian Empire. They call it a war against the Caliphate but not a single bomb has been dropped upon that country. Iranian bodies are piling up in our morgues as USAE shells and rockets land in residential area's. Iranian women and children are dying because the Republic of Iran is getting torn apart by the ambitions of the great powers.

I hereby call upon the USAE to cease this madness and respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the state of Iran. I hereby call upon the international community to act against this violation of the Iranian sovereignty and to what is necessary to keep the peace. I hereby beg the world to once again look at the lessons from the past and chose for peace. I hope humanity will rise as one and stop our world from igniting the 4th world war. I thank you all for listening”
