2. It is natural for Ch<strong>in</strong>a to be keen to protect<br />

its national and economic <strong>in</strong>terests. But<br />

this cannot be established through oppression<br />

and aggression. The path that will make Ch<strong>in</strong>a<br />

prosperous and strengthen its economic and<br />

social regeneration lies <strong>in</strong> a conception that<br />

respects human rights, is democratic and lov<strong>in</strong>g, and<br />

that defends freedom <strong>of</strong> ideas and belief. The only solution<br />

that can calm Ch<strong>in</strong>ese fears, such as lack <strong>of</strong> access to<br />

energy resources, economic losses, loss <strong>of</strong> territory or fragmentation<br />

is the foundation <strong>of</strong> the Turkish-Islamic Union. The Turkish-<br />

Islamic Union will establish an environment <strong>in</strong> which borders are<br />

lifted, there is freedom <strong>of</strong> trade and <strong>in</strong>vestment and <strong>in</strong> which all<br />

communities have equal access to energy resources. In this way,<br />

Ch<strong>in</strong>a will be able to spread its <strong>in</strong>vestments over a wide area from<br />

Tanzania to Indonesia and sell its good across a wide territory,<br />

and Muslims will be able to <strong>in</strong>vest <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a on a large scale. Ch<strong>in</strong>a<br />

will regenerate rapidly with the establishment <strong>of</strong> the Turkish-<br />

Islamic Union, will be spared from hav<strong>in</strong>g to use its citizens as a<br />

cheap labor force and will enjoy abundance and plenty all over.<br />

3. Islam is a religion <strong>of</strong> peace. All forms <strong>of</strong> violence are s<strong>in</strong>ful <strong>in</strong><br />

Islam. In the Qur’an, Allah commands Muslims to be forgiv<strong>in</strong>g. A<br />

Muslim who abides by the Qur’an and follows our Prophet (may<br />

Allah bless him and grant him peace) has a duty to be peace-lov<strong>in</strong>g,<br />

affectionate, lov<strong>in</strong>g, compassionate, patient and moderate.<br />

The moral values <strong>of</strong> the Qur’an oblige Muslims to control their<br />

anger, to respond to evil with good, to always speak and behave<br />
