GLOBAL ATTACKS ON THE ISLAMIC WORLD

The Islamic world, in its geography where it should be sovereign, has been turned into the front of the undeclared, insidious, dirty and asymmetric Third World War, where the elements of ethnic and sectarian differences within the unitary structures of each Islamic country are made fought with one another.

Terrorist organizations al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Popular Mobilization Forces in Iraq, Boko Haram in Nigeria, Anti Balaka in Middle Africa, Revolutionary People's Liberation Front (DHKP-C) and Communist /Marxist /Leninist Party of Turkey, PKK, PYD, FETÖ/PYD in Turkey, Al-Nusra Front, DAESH, PYD and Tahrir al-Sham in Syria, which have drowned Turkey and the Islamic geography in blood and tears and turned into ruins, operate in the control and support of the global powers.

Despite the advantages they have, Islamic countries have fallen into turmoil with the interventions of the imperialist Western states. As a result of this turmoil, great suffering and destruction are experienced in the Islamic geography. Millions of Muslims are forced to choose between leaving their homes and homelands or left to die. Thousands of Muslims die in different ways on the way of migration, while those who succeed in migration are forced to live in poverty and misery.

According to the data of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 2016, only 5 million Syrian citizens have emigrated. This figure is even higher with unregistered refugees. Syrian refugees have migrated to Turkey (2.749.140), Iraq (249.726), Jordan (629.128), Egypt (132.275), Lebanon (1.172.753) and other places in North Africa. Apart from these figures, there are intensive attempts to migrate to Europe and most of them lose their lives at the Mediterranean Sea. Despite these disadvantages, the number of asylum seekers applied to Europe has increased to more than 270,000.

The Third World War continues as an undeclared war against the Islamic countries. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Muslims who were left without authority tried to maintain their existence by establishing small states, but they lost unity and togetherness so they became easy prey for the global powers. The United States, the European Union and the Commonwealth of Independent States aim to establish authority in Islamic countries in order to take over the Islamic geography by carrying out proxy wars (asymmetrical wars) through terrorist organizations they control.

The Islamic lands owned by 60 Islamic countries constitutes the 60 out of 193 member states of the united nations (31% of the members), 1,6 billions out of 7,145 billions of world population (22,5% of the world population),  19 million km² out of 150 million km² of world lands (12,8% of world lands). When the boundaries are ignored, the Islamic geography constitutes a bloc which:

Is found at the centre of Asia, Europe and Africa known as the world island;

• Controls the Gibraltar, Bab-el Mendeb, Dardanelle straits which is assumed as entrance doors to the world’s largest inland sea of the Mediterranean, the Red and Black sea and Suez canal;
• Has a coast to Atlantic, Indian ocean and Mediterranean, the Red, Black and Caspian sea;
• Has a border neighbourhood via land and sea to Asia, Europe, Africa continents, and to great powers of the world assumed as super powers such as European Union, Russia, India, China, and to the United States Of America through sea;
• Has the capacity of being a center of world without any alternative in road, air and sea transportation routes;
• Has 55.5% of world oil reserves and 45.6% of its production, 64.1% of natural gas reserves, and 33% of its production;
• Has a potential power which is ready to be a super power of the future by uniting its all possibilities and efforts with its geopolitical position, common civilization values and historical accumulation.

The Islamic world where it should be sovereign in its geography, each of the Islamic countries were became an area of unannounced, secret, insidious, dirty and asymmetric third world war where all they are forced to fight due to the elements of ethnic and sectarian diversity within the unitary structures.

Despite the advantages it has, Islamic countries have experienced a great unrest by the interventions of imperialist western states. As a result of this chaos, great suffering and sorrow have been come through in Islamic geography. Millions of Muslims immigrate to the places where they believe safe by leaving their homes and lands. During migration, thousands of Muslims have died, on the other hand the people who had the ability to survive are being obliged to live in poverty and misery.

According to data of 2016 of United Nations high commissioner for refugees, only 5 millions of Syrian citizens have migrated. This figure is even higher with unregistered refugees. Syrian refugees have migrated to turkey (2.749.140), Iraq (249.726), Jordan (629.128), Egypt (132.275), Lebanon (1.172.753) and other places in North Africa. Apart from these numbers, an intense immigration attempts have been lived and a majority of them have lost their lives in Mediterranean. The number of application of asylum seekers has been more than 270,000.

The third world war is maintained as a war not declared to Islamic countries. After the collapse of the ottomans, the Muslims whom left rule less tried to continue their existence by establishing small states, however they became weak as they lost their unity. The United States Of America, the European Union, the commonwealth of independent states aims to establish authority by conducting asymmetric war through the terrorist organizations they control over Islamic countries in order to obtain Islamic geography.

The aim of this congress is to discuss under what kind of administration the Islamic union can be achieved by researching administration forms of both Islamic countries and western countries on the basis of security and justice by considering the countries Muslim refugees have preferred.
