Parties representing Iraq's Shiite Muslim majority have dominated since the aftermath of the invasion, but early results from Sunday's vote deepened a rift between powerful factions within that camp.

The invasion of Iraq was supposed to turn the country into a democracy that posed no threat to the United States, or the rest of the world. Thirteen years later, Iraq has collapsed into three warring states. A third of the country is controlled by ISIS, who have also taken huge amounts of territory in Syria. VICE correspondent Ben Anderson gains exclusive access to the three front lines in Iraq, where Sunni, Shiite and Kurdish forces are fighting for their lives.

Just over two years after the Islamic State group seized control of a third of Iraq, are the days of the self-proclaimed caliphate numbered? The Iraqi army, with air power and advisers provided by the US-led coalition, is setting its sights on its biggest battle yet: The drive to recapture Mosul. Peter Harling, a Middle East specialist who lived seven years in Iraq, says that many Iraqis actually fear the defeat of the Islamic State group because they are more wary of the alternative.

The Caliph (Parts 1 & 2): Foundation and Division - Featured Documentary: Al Jazeera English

Al Jazeera English

Published on Jul 22, 2016

For almost 13 centuries, from the death of the Prophet Muhammad in 632 to the overthrow of the last Ottoman caliph in 1924, the Islamic world was ruled by a caliph.

Translated from the Arabic ‘Khalifa’, the word ‘caliph’ means successor or deputy.
The caliph was considered the successor to the Prophet Muhammad.

It is a term that has, at times, been abused.

In June 2014, a militant group calling itself the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (known as ISIL or ISIS) declared the establishment of a caliphate and proclaimed its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, a caliph. This proclamation was rejected by the overwhelming majority of the world’s Muslims.

ISIL had attempted to appropriate a title imbued with religious and political significance – and in doing so had cast a dark shadow over a rich history.

This is the story of the caliph, a title that originated 1,400 years ago and that spanned one of the greatest empires the world has ever known.

In this episode of The Caliph, we look at the great split within Islam, and how this split arose from a dispute over who should succeed Prophet Muhammad.
