  • The Baytiyyad Caliphate (al-khilāfah al-‘bāytīyyah or Caliphate of the House) is the most modern Islamic state in a continuous line dating back to Muhammad. Although ruled by a Turkish elite, its customs, language, and populace are primarily Arabic. Overall, the structure of this society is a mingling of Arab, Persian and Turkish peoples with their traditions, influenced to a weak degree by Western Hellenism. Early growth of the old Islamic Caliphate reached a level unseen in history, one that would not be beat until the ascendance of Gheghis Khan. During the Hijra, the Muslims were an insignificant band of exiles and the Arabs themselves were merely a loose assortment of tribal cities. Within ten years, followers of Muhammad conquered the entire Arabian Peninsula, slowing not even slightly on their prophet's death. Their rapid expansion snuffed out the last Persian dynasty, fought Rome to a standstill then pushed the warlike Germans deep into their homeland. It took a complete fracture of the Islamic state to halt their outward progress. Modern Arabs are the descendants of these Muslims. A proud people, they have fostered a culture of non-violence both as a means to keep internal stability and protect themselves from the destructive wars of the other great powers. Nevertheless, the Caliphate is a mighty state with an ample population and vast natural resources. Much of the industrialization of second class countries like the UCC and Zulu Republic was fueled by Arabic oil. In theory, many states owe their modern condition to this country.
