Good point... The only way to ensure the Caliph stays on the right path is to understand Islam properly... So when Caliph starts doing something wrong he can be corrected... Unfortunately Muslims in the past have a poor performance in this regard... even at the time when knowledge of Islam was available... One of the shining example to the contrary however is that of Imam Hussain who rejected Yazid's nomination as Caliph and the forceful pledge that Ameer Mawviyah took for his son... Imam Hussain RA got martyred by Yazid's dacoits...
The Madhalim court has to be very strong as an institution and any citizen of the state should be allowed to file a case against the rulers in that court... This court is to have the power to even remove the ruler if he is proven guilty...
However most important thing is for people to understand Islamic politics... Once they understand this, the Caliph cannot take them for a ride... like our current rulers are doing to us... many even in the name of Islam...
As for Ottoman blood... My dislike for Kamal would be because he did not prove loyal to the house of Ottomanis... The Ottomans have given great sacrifices for the Muslims... They were some of the best leaders that God blessed us with... I can fully understand why the Turks should hate the Arabs for their treason... The forefathers of the Saudis were the worst traitors of our nation... but just the fact that someone is behaving against Islam does not mean that we should also behave against Islam's teachings... Then to ban the Adhan in Arabic and so many other actions that Kamal did... whereas the fact is that the Ottoman's legacy is going to remain till the judgement day... One cannot walk for five minutes in Istanbul Sultan Ahmet District without coming across a Turba of our true leaders...
Also think about the whole of Muslim world ever since the Caliphate got destroyed... Look at the kind of leaders that we got in the Arab world (and in Pakistan too)... The most evil and monstrous Saddam Hussains, Qadhafis, Mubarak and Hafiz Assads... Traitors like King Hussain and the Saudis... The Ummah of Muhammad saw needs better people than all of these... Since the Ottomans have gone, we have suffered calamity after calamity as the collective Islamic nation...
But there are good times coming... In Istanbul I made an interesting discovery... a gem that not many people know about... In the area called Topkapi (not the palace) there now stands Panorama 1453 honoring Sultan Mehmet the Conqueror... it is a beautiful work of art... With places like the Panorama 1453, it is hoped that the Turks will remember their lost glory and come back to play an important role of leadership for all Muslims...

and yes... the Turks should all listen to what Sheikh Nazim said many years ago...
On Topic... Turkey should start distancing itself from both America and Europe and forget about the missile shield... start influencing the Muslim world with ultimate unity of our lands as a mighty state... and I do not approve of any Turkish Islamic Union at all... we need real unity not union...
