A CALL FOR A TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION

achieve unity and solidarity.

All Muslims should
work to create this
Islamic unity, regard-
less of the mosque or
school they attend, the
Internet sites that they visit, and
the charities or associations to which
they belong. Moreover, they must en-
courage other Muslims to follow their

example.
It is the prayer of all Muslims that the
great Islamic civilization, one that will bring
goodness, justice, and peace to Muslims and non-Muslims alike,
will flourish once more. Allah willing, the formation of the Turkish
Islamic Union will bring all of this about. All Muslims who wish to
play a role in this holy duty should make the following prayer and

then act upon it:
Come, let's heal the rifts between Muslims. Let's
bridge the gaps between Muslims who do
not pray in one another's mosques, who
do not read each others books, and
who are hostile to one another be-
cause of small ideological differ-
ences. Let's do away with such ar-
tificial segregations. Let the house

of Allah, the mosque, be the place of
worship of not this group or that sect
but of all Muslims. Let every Muslim
greet and talk with every other Muslim.
