alone, and supports pluralism, then the Islamic world can build
one of the greatest civilizations of the 21st century. Otherwise it
will be very difficult for fragmented, divided Muslims to have
the strength even to defend their own values. The fact is
that it is a requirement of the moral values of the
Qur’an that Muslims intellectually defend their values
together when confronted by a negative attitude in
terms of human rights or freedom of belief, life or
ideas. It is clear that an intellectual campaign waged in
union and unity will be highly effective and swiftly
achieve the desired result.
Muslims Must Look to Common Values,
Not Differences
The fact that there was Islamic Union in the past
is one of the main pieces of evidence that it can be re-
established again today. It is most important for
Muslims to be optimistic on this subject, to encourage
such a union as far as their means permit, and to
strive for the unity and brotherhood of the Islamic
world. Muslims must be instrumental in their
Muslim brothers enhancing their enthusiasm and
fervor and in their desiring friendship and
brotherhood. In particular, opinion formers,
intellectuals and other eminent figures must act
as role models in this through their behavior,
speech and writings.
