Results of khilafat movement?
Background:After the First World War in 1918, British and its allied powers decided to divide Turkey among themselves. Turkey supported Germany in the First World War. Germany lost the war and Turkey had to face the music. British and its allies also resolved to dissolve the designation of Khilafat. The designation of Khilafat always remained holy and sacred in the Muslim history. Khalifa is considered the vicegerent of Allah on the Earth. Therefore, the Muslims became infuriated on this unholy act of the British government. Maulana Mohammad Ali Johar and Maulana Shaukat Ali Johar along with other Muslim leaders started a movement called the Khilafat movement.Aims And Objectives Of The Khilafat Movement:The Khilafat Movement aimed at presenting the Ottoman Empire and the continuity of the temporal power of Khalifa to protect Muslim lands without any mandate. Mohammad Ali put forward the demands of the Khilafat Movement in a speech delivered at Paris on March 21, 1920 by declaring:“The Khilafat shall not be dismembered but that the KhalifaShall have sufficient temporal power for the defence of theFaith, that in the Island of Arabia there shall be exclusive,Muslim control without mandate or protection and that theKhalifa shall remain as heretofore the warden of theHoly places.”Demands Of The Khilafat Movement:The demands of the Khilafat committee were as under:i) The Turkish Empire should not be dismembered.ii) The Holy place should remain in the custody of Turkish Government.iii) The institution of Caliphate must be retained.Causes Of The Failure Of Khilafat Movement:Gandhi also joined Muslims in their Khilafat Movement. In fact, he wants to protect the British government and needed autonomy of India through this movement. Therefore, he joined the Khilafat Movement for achieving his coveted plan. Apparently, he was showing that he was sincere to the Muslim cause.Quaid-e-Azam admonished the Muslims that this movement should not be started but Muslims were not listening to him.Non-cooperation movement, Hijrat movement, Moplah revolt and the Chauri Chaura tragedy did a great loss to Muslim properties, wealth and lives.After the tragedy of Chauri Chaura, Gandhi left the Khilafat movement saying that he did not like violence.After Hijrat Movement, the Muslims had to come back to the Sub-continent but now they had lost their hearth and home. They had to face the severe circumstances in the Khilafat movement.In 1924, Mustafa Kamal Ata Turk assumed power in Turkey and abolished the institution of Khilafat himself lf. This act of him really disappointed Muslims. Thus the Khilafat Movement came to an end without achieving its goals.Effects Of Khilafat Movement:i) The Credit Side Of Khilafat Movement:• It trained Muslims for political action and agitation.• It united the extremists and modernists on one platform.• They learned that Hindus can never be friends of Muslims. Their differences are too deep-rooted to weed out.• The Muslims got acquainted of their political power.• It made Muslims politically conscious.• It destroyed the myth of Muslims loyalty to the British.ii) Adverse Side Of Khilafat Movement:• Muslims became more interested in national affairs than international one.• Hijrat movement cost millions of rupees and millions of families.• Muslim emotionalism gave nothing to them. Khilafat was abolished not by British but by Turks themselves.• Religious leaders for the time being vanished from political arena.Conclusion:Every movement against the British rule left its good as well as bad effects on the people. After Khilafat Movement Muslims of the Sub-continent become united, strong and conscious about their separate identity which led them towards final destination. This was the real credit which Muslims derived from Khilafat Movement.

Why did Europeans explore?
Trade and treasure was always at the bottom of it. Although curiosity about unknown places and a sense of 'can this be done?' (think Columbus' and Magellan's travels) certainly played a role, the idea always was to discover places where spices could be bought or gold could be found. Medieval Europeans were very much aware that their dependence on the existing overland supply routes and on Venetian and Arab merchants led to supply always being less than demand, and - as a result - to skyrocketing prices. Basically, the 'exploring' nations - Portuguese, Spaniards, Dutch and English - were trying to corner the markets for themselves.
Why did Osama bin Laden attack World Trade Center?
The accepted wisdom that the US was attacked was to punish the US, its military (the Pentagon) and its economic power (the WTC), and in particular for the historic and ongoing US support of the state of Israel and Israel's treatment of the Palestinian people. This is the basis for the recruitment of Muslim militants and militant groups to plan and carry out terrorism around the world and, in particular, against the US. However, terrorist acts like that the attacks on the Pentagon and the WTC never succeed in bringing about a change for the better, never. They invariably create situations far worse than what is claimed by their perpetrators, always. This fact easily escapes an average terrorist, especially the young, the angry, the disenfranchised. But Osama Bin Laden was none of these things; he was an educated, intelligent man who knew a lot about the world. Why did he spend much of his wealth and the lives of so many young Muslims on a mission of destruction to intensify discrimination of Muslims? We can only speculate. Bin Laden's actions are typical of megalomania; he spent so much and sacrificed so many on his altar of aggrandizement, his place in history.
What did king almamy futa toro do to resist the slave trade?
leaders actively worked against the transatlantic slave trade. One of the most famous was Abdel Kader Kane, the Muslim leader of the Futa Toro region in northern Senegal. Kane had succeeded in peopling his kingdom by retaking by force his people who had been kidnapped and by forbidding slave caravans from passing through his territory. After the French took three children from Futa, Kane sent a letter to the governor: We are warning you that all those who will come to our land to trade [in slaves] will be killed and massacred if you do not send our children back. Would not somebody who was very hungry abstain from eating if he had to eat something cooked with his blood? We absolutely do not want you to buy Muslims under any circumstances. I repeat that if your intention is to always buy Muslims you should stay home and not come to our country anymore. Because all those who will come can be assured that they will lose their life. On a personal level, families who could locate a captive on the coast gathered resources to obtain his or her release, even if it meant substituting another person for their loved one. Some relatives were even able to trace the whereabouts of kin deported to the Americas and tried - sometimes successfully - to buy their freedom.
