Well, caliphate has been removed 94 years ago by Atatürk, founder of Republic of Turkey, but we still feel the effects of it.
You know caliphate's biggest purpose is to bring all Islamic countries together in one nation, and that's the most dangerous thing that can happen to this world trust me :)
You used the word as a meaning of "leading" i know that, i was just joking and i accept Sweden as my caliph :P

Well, with the current state of Islam is in, it would probably be dangerous, especially because extremists tend to stand out in every group of people. Normal, hard working people rarely voice their concerns and organize large groups that would want to change something from ground up. For that to happen, the s##t would really have to hit the proverbial fan.
I would dare say that some 100 years ago that would have worked quite well, but today Muslims are so disconnected from every facet of original faith that it would require some very hard resetting and reeducating for it to be a good movement. At present you have rich Arabs that have stopped working or giving any attention to anything but themselves, being satisfied by their enormous wealth, just paying money to make the problems go away. You have those that have been in war or poverty, devoid of any education, angry at foreigners or other nations or tribes, blaming them for death of loved ones or their general misfortune, taught Islam by people who have their own agendas and are trying to accomplish them by exploiting gullible people. Then you have the educated and emancipated abroad that are having a hard time fitting in, some of it by their own fault for refusing to be flexible, some of it due to hate and misunderstanding of other people.
But, as I see it, for us people ever to evolve and things to get better, we all have to unite, not just Muslims or Christians or atheists. And it would be great if even people who have some things in common wouldn't hate each other...
