Well - the pronunciation is a bit off too for heaven's sakes!
CALIPHATE shud be pronounced as Ka Lif Fate viz Arabic Khalifah.
Islamic Glossary Home
Khalifah
Other Commonly Used Spellings: KHALIFAAH,KHALIFAA,KHALEEFAH,KHALEEFA
---------------------------------------------------
The word Khalifah refers to the successor or representative of Prophet Muhammad (saas) or to one of his successors. This person acts as the head of state for the Muslim Ummah. Another title for the Khalifah (English Caliph) is Amir Al-Mu'mineen which means 'the leaders of the believers'.
The immediate Caliphs were Abu Bakr As-Siddiq, Omar Ibn Al-Khattab, Othman Ibn 'Affan, and 'Ali Ibn Abi Talib. These were given the nickname of Al-Khulafa'Ar-Rashidun (The Guided Caliphs).
Another use for this word is used for humanity in general. The human being is considered the Khalifah (representative) of Allah on earth according to Allah.

: WASHINGTON, May 25 (UPI) -- When the dust has settled after
: all the political upheaval in Iraq, will a tall and elegant
: British-trained economist be its king? Or would Sharif Ali
: bin al-Hussein, 47, pretender to the country's throne, at
: least wind up as its republican leader, similar to Simeon
: Saxcoburggotsky, formerly King Simeon II of Bulgaria and
: now that nation's prime minister?
: To hear Sheik Mohammed Mohammed Ali, a Shiite scholar, there
: isn't much chance for that. Sharif Ali's Constitutional
: Monarchy Movement is but one of 150 political parties in
: Iraq, according to the sheik. "There's no support for
: a return to monarchy," he said.
: But then nobody knows if there is any real opposition to it,
: either. For one thing, Sharif Ali, a direct descendant of
: the prophet Mohammed, 42 generations removed, is not
: surrounded by scandal; that distinguishes him from others
: in the leadership of the formerly London-based Iraqi
: National Congress whose spokesman he used to be.
