2. It is natural for China to be keen to pro-
tect its national and economic interests. But
this cannot be established through oppression
and aggression. The path that will make China

prosperous and strengthen its economic and
social regeneration lies in a conception that
respects human rights, is democratic and loving, and
that defends freedom of ideas and belief. The only solu-
tion that can calm Chinese fears, such as lack of access to
energy resources, economic losses, loss of territory or fragmenta-
tion is the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union. The Turkish-
Islamic Union will establish an environment in which borders are
lifted, there is freedom of trade and investment and in which all
communities have equal access to energy resources. In this way,
China will be able to spread its investments over a wide area from
Tanzania to Indonesia and sell its good across a wide territory,
and Muslims will be able to invest in China on a large scale. China
will regenerate rapidly with the establishment of the Turkish-

Islamic Union, will be spared from having to use its citizens as a
cheap labor force and will enjoy abundance and plenty all over.

3. Islam is a religion of peace. All forms of violence are sinful in
Islam. In the Qur’an, Allah commands Muslims to be forgiving. A
Muslim who abides by the Qur’an and follows our Prophet (may
Allah bless him and grant him peace) has a duty to be peace-lov-
ing, affectionate, loving, compassionate, patient and moderate.
The moral values of the Qur’an oblige Muslims to control their
anger, to respond to evil with good, to always speak and behave
