he establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union
will be the salvation of everyone, of people of all
T faiths, all nations and all opinions, not just of the
Islamic world. This union will bring love, brotherhood,
friendship, plenty and abundance to the world. The Turkish-
Islamic Union to be established under Turkish leadership

will be instrumental in the world attaining an entirely new
beauty, in a huge rise in plenty and abundance, in major
progress in art and science, and in the construction of a
powerful and deep-rooted civilization. By Allah's leave,
the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union is an ab-
solute certainty. This is the destiny ordained by Allah.
Turkey will be the natural leader of this Union. All
Turkic and Muslim countries sincerely accept and desire
Turkish leadership. At the root of this lie Turkey's his-

toric experience and the moral virtues of the Turkish na-
tion, which have been proved over and over again. The
Turkish nation's desire for the role of leader is not
based on any idea of racial superiority. There are no
irrational and illogical ideas behind this, ideas that
would also run contrary to the moral values of
the Qur'an, along the lines of "we want to be

the leader and for everyone else to follow be-
hind" or "we are superior, and all
other races must follow us."
