sionate and peaceful attitude towards other religions is one <strong>of</strong> the greatest<br />

responsibilities <strong>of</strong> the present age. In that way, the w<strong>in</strong>d can be<br />

taken out <strong>of</strong> the sails <strong>of</strong> oppressive regimes such as that <strong>in</strong> Ch<strong>in</strong>a, which<br />

attempt to ga<strong>in</strong> world sympathy by portray<strong>in</strong>g the Muslims they oppress<br />

as terrorists, and it will also enable the real truth to emerge.<br />

Muslims must make it absolutely clear that they are not seek<strong>in</strong>g a<br />

"conflict <strong>of</strong> civilizations," but that, on the contrary, they wish to see<br />

peace and harmony between all religions and civilizations, and that<br />

this is an essential element <strong>of</strong> the morality <strong>of</strong> the Qur'an.<br />

In short, Muslims must work to br<strong>in</strong>g peace and stability to the<br />

world, and oppose all forces that stand aga<strong>in</strong>st that peace and stability,<br />

even those that hide under an "Islamic" mask. We must not forget that<br />

the rule <strong>of</strong> war and confusion, as opposed to peace and security, is described<br />

<strong>in</strong> the Qur'an as "fitna" (disbelief and its imposition on others) a<br />

Let us first consider the matter from the po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>of</strong> view <strong>of</strong> <strong>East</strong><br />

<strong>Turkestan</strong>. More than any other nation, Turkey needs to extend a help<strong>in</strong>g<br />

hand to the Muslims <strong>of</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Turkestan</strong>, because the Uighur<br />

Muslims are Turks. That gives Turkey a great <strong>in</strong>ternational advantage<br />

when it comes to defend<strong>in</strong>g the legal rights <strong>of</strong> <strong>East</strong> <strong>Turkestan</strong>. In the<br />

same way that Turkey is seen by the <strong>in</strong>ternational community as quite<br />

justified <strong>in</strong> defend<strong>in</strong>g the rights <strong>of</strong> the Turks <strong>in</strong> Macedonia and the<br />

Turkmens <strong>in</strong> Northern Iraq, it will also be seen as justified <strong>in</strong> tak<strong>in</strong>g up<br />
