The Qur'an makes it crystal clear that there is no room for violence in
Islam. Allah even says "It will be better for you to forgive," even in ref-
erence to someone who has committed murder. Which course of action

will a Muslim choose? The more auspicious path, of course. He will
choose to forgive. Forgiveness is inherent in Islam. And love. And com-
passion. But there is no room for violence. Islam means peace. Allah
commands peace.
In order to combat terror, people need to be told of the true and
dangerous indoctrination of Darwinism. They need to be shown that it
is of no scientific worth. Society can quickly be educated by way of such
cultural activities as books, articles, public meetings, conferences and
video shows. Once people come to see the true face of Darwinism, the
foundations of atheism, lovelessness, heartlessness, ruthlessness, cruelty
and violence will collapse. Once a powerful union has been established
in the Turkish-Islamic world, these activities will be much easier, and
the strength of the Turkish-Islamic Union will act as a deterrent to those

who support violence and wish to create chaos and anarchy.

PI NE RI VER: In your writings you emphasize Muslim unity as
necessary to a peaceful world. You wrote:
"The Islamic Union must work to bring peace to all people, not just
Muslims, and tolerant and peaceful in its decisions and practices. The
core of Islam is the good morality revealed in the Qur'an, which requires
Muslims to be friendly, gentle, compassionate, tolerant, just, under-
standing, patient and devoted. Islam invites people to a peaceful world."
Saparmyrat Turkmenbashy, the late president of Turkmenistan,
penned a similar message in the Ruhnama:
"The Turkmen sees other nations as his own brothers, his own
friends. Racism cannot find a place among Turkmens. Turkmens respect
the languages, the religions and the traditions of other nations."
