International Khilafah Conference

On 12 August 2007, Muslims gathered in Indonesia to call for the return of the Universal Caliphate.[1] It was one of the largest political gatherings of Muslims ever to have taken place attracting more than 80000 people in Jakarta.[2] The event was organised by the Islamist party, Hizb ut-Tahrir, whose stated intention is to create a new Caliphate encompassing the 'Muslim world'.[3]

Key speakers, including Imran Waheed were refused entry to Jakarta and forced to deliver their speeches by video link.

Parallel conferences were also held in the UK and Palestine.
