- The economics of the Islamic system can be found exemplified by the
Islamic State, the pan-national Islamic empire which existed from the
death of Mohammed until just after World War I. Most Muslim
organisations in Britain have been seeking the return of this pan-national
Islamic State. There are Islamic political parties to be found all over the
world, which advocate the recreation of the Caliphate. For minor
theological or opportunistic reasons, Islamic political parties such as Hizb
ut Tahrir (”Party of Freedom”), claim that Islamic State in Syria is not
really a proper Caliphate, despite this party's decades-long encouragement
to Muslims to create the Islamic State. We can see in this existing Islamic
State what the economic model of this Islamic State is: war, piracy, slave-
taking and slave-selling. This economy of war and slavery has existed
throughout the entire history of Islam. As we see from a leaked memo
from the Muslim organisation Quilliam to the British government in
2010, many of the prominent Muslim organisations in the UK support the
creation of this Caliphate, the Islamic State. “many will agree with [the]
overall goal of create a single ‘Islamic State’ which would bring together
all Muslims around the world under a single government and then impose
on them a single interpetration of shari’ah law.” Appendix A of
Preventing Terrorism: Where Next for Britain?, June 2010,

government. Within four years, this universally-desired Islamic State was
re-created in Syria and Iraq. Despite the Quisling politicians around
Europe claiming that the Islamic State in Syria was not Islamic, these
European countries had to put obstacles in the way of their Muslim
citizens travelling to the Islamic State to fight for it and to profit from its
economy based on robbery and slavery. “Islamic State crisis: ‘3,000
European jihadists join fight’”, BBC, 24 September 2014,

years later this number had doubled, despite the efforts in Europe to stop
those with citizenship from going there to fight for Islam: “Between
27,000 and 31,000 people have traveled to Syria and Iraq to join the
Islamic State [...] There are approximately 6,000 people from Europe -
