decessors. … A return, therefore, to Medina or Mecca is the probable future of
the Caliphate. 4
Blunt also claimed that the culprit behind the backward state of the Arabs, who

had built great civilizations in the past, was the Ottoman Empire. He believed
that Britain was now an empire with millions of Muslim constituents and that
instead of supporting a caliphate sitting in Istanbul, it would be more strate-
gic and logical for Britain to invest in an Arab caliph that is under British con-
trol and who could be easily manipulated. He was convinced that if indepen-
dent Arab kingdoms were set up and the Caliphate was transferred to Mec-
ca, Ottoman control in the region could come to an end.

Graat, the British Foreign Secretary for India, in his letter to Kitchener, the
British Consul-General in Egypt, revealed the kind of Arab state the British
deep state wished to see:
Britain never desires to see a powerful Arabic Caliphate. We don't want a unit-
ed Arab state. Arabs must be in a fragmented, weakened situation. If they be-

come emirates under our control, as small as possible, they shall have little re-
sistance to British, but will still serve as a buffer zone against other big coun-
tries of the West. 5
Another Western source reveals the status the British planned for the Arabs
and Caliphate during WWI:

Sticking to their old policies of creating division and dissension to maintain
their control easily, the British never wanted a united and powerful [Arab] em-
pire, no matter what the consequences, because the ruler of such an empire
would want to remain independent. The British instead wishes political unions
made up of smaller states, which would require British arbitration in case of
disagreements. British also didn't have any intentions of giving up on their sov-
ereignty claims over the governorates of Kuwait, Bahrain, Muscat, Hadhra-

maut in favor of a big Arab empire. On the other hand, caliphate was a sensi-
tive issue for Britain as it had to take into consideration the sentiments of In-
dian Muslims. Indian Muslims, however, tended to side with Turks, rather than
the Arabs. They wanted to remain loyal to the Caliph in Istanbul. 6
In the end, the Arab world of 100 million people divided into sixteen sepa-
rate countries was fraught with conflicts. The only winner was the British
deep state.

Throughout the end of the 1800s and early 1900s, the main policy of the
British deep state has been fragmenting the Arab world and breaking them
