Notes
This research deals with the positions and opinions of independent Egyptian newspapers regarding the abolition of the Ottoman Caliphate in 1924, which did not belong to any of the Egyptian parties in that period, but rather belonged to different trends. Among those newspapers is Al-Ahram newspaper, which participated in denouncing the abolition of the Caliphate and the reactions that resulted from it, then its position on the call for holding an Islamic conference to resolve the issue of the Caliphate, and for that conference to be in Egypt due to its position in the Islamic world, as well as its position on King Fuad’s ambition for the Caliphate and the convening of the Islamic Conference. The research also shows the position of religious newspapers, including Al-Manar magazine, which also participated in denouncing the abolition of the caliphate and its call for holding a general Islamic conference, as well as its position on King Fuad’s aspiration to be the caliph of the Muslims, and also Al-Manar’s position on Sheikh Ali Abd al-Razzaq’s book Islam and the Principles of Governance, in which the sheikh denounced the existence of the caliphate as an origin of rule, and then Al-Manar’s position on the convening of the General Islamic Conference for the Caliphate in 1926. Then the magazine of the General Islamic Conference for the Caliphate, which Al-Azhar issued in order to call for the General Islamic Conference for the Caliphate inside and outside Egypt, and also the Al-Azhar Bulletin magazine, which called for attention to the issue of the Caliphate and explained its importance to Muslims. The research also addresses the position of Misr newspaper, a Coptic newspaper that participated in denouncing the abolition of the caliphate and its support for the idea of holding an Islamic conference. The research also discusses the position of liberal newspapers, including Al-Hilal and Al-Muqtataf newspapers, reviewing their position on the issue of the caliphate and the decision to abolish it. How the position of these newspapers was characterized by their support for the Turks in their abolition of the caliphate, considering that national nationalism is more important than religion, and their position also on the issue of the book of Islam and the principles of governance and their defense of Sheikh Ali Abd al-Razzaq and his right to freedom of expression of opinion.
