		The Caliphate is not a theocracy since its legislation is not restricted to religious and moral codes that neglect the problems of society.
		The Caliph and his government believe in Islam and their motivation for strictly adhering to the letter of the law is their belief in accountability for all their actions when they die.

		All Caliphs of Córdoba were members of the Umayyad dynasty; the same dynasty had held the title Emir of Córdoba and ruled over roughly the same territory since 756.
