}}<b>Islamic Theocracy</b>, or <b>Muslim Theocracy</b>, also known as <b>Islamism</b>, is a [[File:Tradition-icon.png]] [[Traditionalism|culturally right]], [[File:Auth-icon.png]] [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] and economically variable ideology. Political aspects of [[File:Islam-icon.png]] [[Islam]] are derived from the Qur'an, the Sunnah (the sayings and living habits of [[File:Muhammad-icon.png]] [[Muhammad in Medina|Muhammad]]), Muslim history, and elements of political movements in the Islamic world.

==History==
=== Three Caliphates ===
The first Islamic Theocracy is commonly thought to be the [[File:Rashidun-icon.png]] [[Rashidun Caliphate]]. It was founded in 632 after the death of [[File:Muhammad-icon.png]] [[Muhammadism|Muhammad]]. But, before the Rashiduns, there was the [[File:Islam-icon2.png]] [[Muhammad in Medina|Medina Islamic Government]] which was ruled by Muhammad. During the leadership of Muhammad, the Medina Islamic Government conquered much of pre-Islamic Arabia. After Muhammad died in 632, [[File:Sunni-icon.png]] [[Sunni Islam|Abu Bakr]] became the first Rashidun Caliph. The Rashidun Caliphate would expand in pretty much all directions, spreading the {{i|Islam}} [[Islam|Islamic religion]] far and wide. After the collapse of the Rashidun Caliphate in 661, the [[File:Umayyad-icon.png]] [[Umayyad Caliphate]] was created. The Umayyads are mostly remembered for conquering Iberia with the helps of the [[File:Berber-icon.png]] [[Berbers]] and [[File:Rashidun-icon.png]] [[Moors]]. After the Umayyads, Islam split into multiple Caliphates. The main one was the [[File:Abbasid-icon.png]] [[Abbasid Caliphate]], which was eventually conquered by the {{i|MongolEmp}} [[Mongol Empire|Mongols]] in 1258, but came back into existence in 1261. The Abbasids were also the Caliphate that existed during the [[File:Crusader-icon.png]] [[Crusadism|Crusades]]. The Abbasids lost their last lands in 1517, after which the title of 'Caliphate' was passed to the [[File:OttomanG-icon.png]] [[Ottoman Empire]].

=== Iberia and Reconquista ===
Alongside the {{i|Abbasid}} [[Abbasid Caliphate]], there were a few split-off caliphates as well. Most notably was the {{i|CaliCord}} [[Caliphate of Córdoba]] which existed in Muslim Iberia for a few hundred years, starting in 756. This caliphate eventually collapsed into multiple smaller Islamic states in 1031. This weakened the Islamic presence in Iberia and led way for the {{i|CathTheo}} [[Catholic Theocracy|Catholics]] to crusade south and forcefully destroy the Islamic presence in the region, retake Iberia and reestablish Catholic authority in what is known as the "Reconquista".

=== Ottoman Caliphate ===
In the period after the fall of the {{i|Abbasid}} [[Abbasid Caliphate|Abbasids]], the 'Caliphate' was given to the {{i|Ottoman}} [[Ottoman Empire]]. From 1517 to 1924, the Ottoman Empire was also referred to as the 'Ottoman Caliphate' (though some people suggest they are different entities for some reason). The Ottomans were considered the head of Islam for centuries, especially after the {{i|Safavid}} [[Safavid Iran|Persian Empire]] fell into dissary, leaving the {{i|Shia}} [[Shia Islam|Shia]] version of Islam without an effective leader. The Ottomans went on a long period of decline however, officially collapsing in 1922 in the aftermath of their defeat in World War I. The Ottoman Caliphate would be officially dissolved two years later, with the title of 'Caliphate' now going to, well, nobody.

=== Middle East Cold War ===
After the fall of the {{i|Ottoman}} [[Ottoman Empire]], most of Arabia was conquered by {{i|HouseSaud}} [[House of Saud|al-Saud]], the ruling family of {{I|Emirate of Nejd and Hasa}} [[Emirate of Nejd and Hasa|Nejd]]. The went about conquering {{i|Shammar}} [[Shammar]], a pro-Ottoman clan in the north, and {{i|Hejaz}} [[Kingdom of Hejaz|Hejaz]], a pro-British kingdom in the west. After these conquests, they established the {{i|HejazNejd}} [[Kingdom of Hejaz and Nejd]], which was recognized by the {{i|League of Nations}} [[League of Nations]] as the {{i|Saudi Arabia}} [[Saudi Arabia|Kingdom of Saudi Arabia]] a few years later. Meanwhile, Persia was still collapsing. In 1925, the {{i|Qajar}} [[Qajar Iran|Sublime State of Persia]] was dissolved and the {{i|Pahlavi}} [[Pahlavi Iran|Imperial State of Persia]] was founded. In 1979, Persia collapsed due to the Iranian Revolution. In his place, the {{i|Iran}} [[Iran|Islamic Republic of Iran]] was formed. Iran and Saudi Arabia became natural enemies as Iran represented {{i|Republic}} [[Republicanism]] and {{i|ShiaTheo}} [[Shia Theocracy]], whilst Saudi Arabia represented {{i|Mon}} [[Monarchism]] and {{i|SunniTheo}} [[Sunni Theocracy]]. This resulted in a cold war in the Middle East between the two over who was the rightful leader of the Islamic world.

=== Arab Spring ===
The Arab Spring begun in 2010. In almost every Arab country, revolts sprung up to depose {{i|Dictatorship}} [[Dictatorship|dictators]] and {{i|Mon}} [[Monarchism|monarchs]] all over the Middle East. This scared {{i|Saudi Arabia}} [[Saudi Arabia]] as he was an {{i|AbMon}} [[Absolute Monarchism|absolute monarchy]]. {{i|Iran}} [[Iran]] supported these rebellions in an attempt to get some allies, whilst Saudi Arabia supported the governments. The only exception to this was in {{i|Syria}} [[Ba'athist Syria|Syria]] and  {{i|Iraq}} [[Iraq]] where Iran backed the governments and Saudi Arabia the rebels. The Arab Spring ended in December 2012.

=== Arab Winter ===
Following the Arab Spring, mass violence occured throughout the Islamic World. This was known as the Arab Winter. Civil wars raged, violence increased, and {{i|Jihadism}} [[Jihadism|jihadists]] started taking land. This came to the benefit of the {{i|ISIS}} [[Islamic State]] which took over huge chunks of Syria and Iraq, declaring themselves a new Caliphate. They were promptly defeated in 2017 though. In 2021, the coalition force left {{i|IRAfghan}} [[Islamic Republic of Afghanistan|Afghanistan]], causing the {{i|Taliban}} [[Taliban]] to promptly retake Afghanistan and reestablish the {{i|TalibanAfghan}} [[Afghanistan|emirate]] in the nation.

== Relations ==
=== Halal ===
*[[File:AbMon-icon.png]] [[Absolute Monarchism]] - The proper way to govern our lands.
*{{i|IslamNat}} [[Islamic Nationalism]] - Stanistan is a Muslim Nation.
*[[File:Ottoman-icon.png]] [[Ottomanism]] - The [[File:OttomanG-icon.png]] [[Classical Age of the Ottoman Empire|Ottoman Empire]] was great. I hope it gets brought back and gets rid of the godless [[File:Kemalism-icon.png]] [[Kemalism|Kemalists]]. <small><s>Many of your acts during the late Ottoman era became unislamic.</small></s>
*[[File:Jesus-icon.png]] [[Jesusism|Isa]] - Prophet Isa, not your God! Jesus was a Muslim!!!
*{{i|Adam}} [[Adam and Eve|Adam]] - He was a Muslim too.

=== Shubhah ===
*[[File:NeoCon-icon.png]] [[Neoconservatism]] - Ah [[File:NATO-icon.png]] [[North Atlantic Treaty Organization|NATO]], my good old friend, but you also work with [[File:Zion-icon.png]] [[Zionism|this pig]].
*[[File:Satirism-icon.png]] [[Satirism]] - [[File:MEMRI-icon.png]] [[Middle East Media Research Institute|MEMRI TV]] <s>despite being run by [[File:Israel-icon.png]] [[Israel]]</s>, Halal memes and r/arabfunny made me laugh. On the other hand, Charlie Hebdo, Scandinavia and the World and some [[File:EricCartman-icon.png]] [[Satirism|South Park]] episodes (like 200 and 201) offended me due to their blasphemy.
*{{i|Jihadism}} [[Jihadism]] - We are all Muslims, but you are a lot more extreme, and you make us look bad. You remind me of the {{i|Islam}} [[Kharijites]], and honestly - {{i|Muhammad}} [[Muhammadism|prophet]] commanded us to <b>kill those dogs of hell without hesitance!</b>
*[[File:Reactionary-icon.png]] [[Reactionaryism]] - Great, I would love to go back to Medieval times. But why hate [[File:Technocracy-icon.png]] [[Technocracy|technology]] and [[File:Scientocracy-icon.png]] [[Scientocracy|science]]? Also my medieval era was my golden era.
**{{Alias|Reactionary-icon.png|Reactionaryism|Whom said I hate them? I only dislike most modern ones because they are infiltrated by degenerates.}}
*[[File:JewTheo-icon.png]] [[Jewish Theocracy]] - Our theology is very similar and we somewhat protected you during medieval times, but WHY DID SO MANY OF YOU BECOME LIKE [[File:Zion-icon.png]] [[Zionism|HIM]]
*{{i|Baath}} [[Ba'athism]] - You are {{i|Secularism}} [[Secularism|secular]], and you tolerate Kuffars, at least {{i|Saddam}} [[Saddamism|Saddam]] eventually became me after {{i|NeoCon}} [[Neoconservatism|he]] started fighting him.

=== Haram ===
*[[File:Zion-icon.png]] [[Zionism]] - <b>YOU ARE THE REASON FOR THE CONFLICTS IN THE MIDDLE EAST, AND YOUR ACTIONS TOWARDS THE FAITHFUL ARE COMPARABLE TO [[File:Crusader-icon.png]] [[Crusadism|HIM]], BY ALLAH [[File:Israel-icon.png]] [[Israel|ISRAEL]] WILL CEASED FROM THE MAP!!!</b> <small>some Muslim countries recognize you and have positive relations with you, but they still support [[File:Palestine-icon.png|10px]] [[Palestine]]</small>
*[[File:Crusader-icon.png]] [[Crusadism]] - NEVER FORGET WHAT YOU DID DURING MIDDLE AGES! BY ALLAH IF YOU ATTACK AGAIN I SHALL COVER MY BLADE IN YOUR BLOOD! <small>Cultural Exchange and trade? Eh, why not.</small>
*{{i|StateAtheism}} [[State Atheism]] - BLASPHEMY!
*[[File:LGBTQ-icon.png]] [[LGBTQ+]] - Let’s check what the Quran says. Well… off to execution you go!
