Re: New Reality Seeds
The third possiblity:
Maybe quite a few people don't think of the American caliph as a joke.
This would likely strain US relations with the Ottomans/Tukrish sucessor state for obvious reasons. An American khalifa would present a a direct challange to the Ottoman Sultan's claim to be the khalifa.
And if there's no more Ottoman claim because of soemthing like Ataturk and secularization, then an American khalifa is a threat to the new secular regime.
