Page 286 - A Call for a Turkish-Islamic Union

The Turkish-Islamic Union will be the salvation, not just of
Palestine, which has suffered terribly for more than half a cen-
tury, but also of Israel. Israel has effectively imprisoned itself be-
hind giant walls, but will escape the predicament into which it

has fallen by way of the justice, peacefulness and loving nature
of the Turkish-Islamic Union, and peace and security will come
to the whole region. These lands played host to friendship and
brotherhood for 400 years under Ottoman rule. Jews, Christians
and Muslims lived together in brotherhood, worshiped as they

pleased, settled where they wished, engaged in trade freely and
lived in complete security. The only means whereby this beauty
of the past can be brought back to life, in an even better form, is
with the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union.

Ever since the beginning of the Iraqi crisis, religious leaders
from all over the world have made genuine efforts for peace. One
such effort was made by Rabbi Waskow, a leader of the peace or-
ganization Shalom, which calls upon people to fast for peace. Many
religious leaders of various denominations joined in and once more
demonstrated that Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are all anti-war:
We call upon Americans to fast:
To reflect, to seek a truer peace, to pray

In the name of the God of compassion, Who commands us to seek
peace and justice…
God calls on us all to seek peace and pursue it.

Yet with deep concern we see the danger that neither the govern-
ment of Iraq nor the government of the United States is taking this
calling as its primary goal…
