A CALL FOR A TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION





                                 AN INTERVIEW WITH
                           MR. ADNAN OKTAR BY MPL,
                                NOVEMBER 21st, 2008


                              Ad nan Ok tar: What comes to my mind
                         when the Ottoman Empire is mentioned is justice,
                      love, plenty, peace, respect, glory, kindness and beauty,
                    and those glorious Ottoman domes, Ottoman music, Ot-
                toman food, Ottoman manners, those great sayings and words in the
                Ottoman language and a splendid political mechanism that spread
                justice across the world. The world needs a new, modern Ottoman
                Empire in the way it needs water. In other words, a Turkish-Islamic
                Union under Turkish leadership, a great Turkish-Islamic Union sup-
                ported by the Turkic states. That means the earth literally becoming a
                paradise. It means enormous economic wealth for Europe, America,
                Russia and China. That is because the oil and minerals of all Islamic
                and Turkic countries will flow to them. They will develop their own
                trade with the technical means and equipment to be acquired from
                there. They will come and build hospitals and plants and roads. We
                will go and do useful things in their workplaces. There will be a mu-
                tual exchange of technology, science and art. Terror will come to an
                immediate end. It will be stopped definitely and totally. There will be
                no money spent on terror. There are traditions telling us that as a re-
                sult, since there will be security and stability, plenty and abundance
                will fall down like rain. There will be stupendous well-being. Our age
                is the Ottoman age. The age of a Turkish identity. It is the age of the
                Turkish-Islamic Union. It is the age when Islamic social justice and
                   moral values will dominate. We will see all of this in the
                      next 10 to 15 years, insha'Allah. …
                            Turkish-Islamic Union will put an end to that
                           joylessness. There will be an explosion of
                             joy and happiness. There will be an
                                 air of rejoicing. Everyday
