Making my first real attempt at playing a Muslim game, and it is actually tons of fun

How would one go about getting the Sunni Caliph title?

I am pretty sure it starts out in Baghdad, would I have to conquer the current Caliph's land, destroy the title and then recreate it for myself? When the current Caliph dies how does the game decide who replaces him?

For starters find the Caliph's coat of arms and click on it. That should bring up the Create/Destroy, History buttons, etc... This title does not have a physical location so acquiring land is not needed - if I remember correctly. It's passed on within a Dynasty so I'm not sure how to acquire it without killing all the males of that Dynasty. Perhaps if you are the Caliph's liege you can destroy it? I created it once but it had been destroyed by someone else. I needed to marry my heir a to a Sayyid or maybe that was just one of the ways to create it. When you hover over the Create button it will tell you what you need to create it.

You'll need to be both mirza and sayyid AND have 1000 piety or be sayyid, have 1000 piety and hold mecca and medina and either Baghdad, Jerusalem or Damascus.
IIRC the title is automatically destroyed if the holder runs out of territory (including vassal territory)

That's incorrect, I became sunni Caliph as the Mansa of Mali.
Tho I'm finding it fairly useless to be honest.
Caliph title not useless because it cant be revoked by liege.
In my game all my emir-tier titles was revoked from time to time.
But when I become a caliph, I was able to grow without constantly taking away emirates and grow enough to become independent. :)

Absolutely not useless. You can call jihads, plus you get a cool title.
