GEOPOLITICAL VALUE OF ISLAMIC GEOGRAPHY:

The Islamic geography of 61 countries, having 61 of 193 member states of the United Nations Organization (31% of the member states), 1.894 billion of the world's population of 7,8 billion (24.1% of the world's population), 30,848 million km² of the world’s land of 150 million km² (20.6% of the world's land) has the following with the block they formed when the borders between them are ignored:

1. Located in the center of Asia, Europe and Africa, known as the World Island;
2. Controls the Strait of Gibraltar which is considered as the entrance gates of the Mediterranean, the biggest inland sea of the World, Red Sea and Black Sea as well as Bab-El-Mandeb, Çanakkale and Istanbul Straits and the Suez Canal,
3. Has coasts to Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Black Sea and Caspian Sea,
4. Land and sea border neighbor to Asia, Europe and Africa continents, superpowers of the world such as European Union, Russia, India, Russia and sea border neighbor to the United States of America.
5. Has the opportunity to become an unrivalled center of world land, air and sea transportation routes,
6. Owns 55.5% of world petroleum reserves and 46.5% of its production, 64.1% of natural gas reserves, and 34% of its production;
7. In the future, it will have the ability to be superpower in the world by combining its geopolitical position, common civilization values and historical build up with its opportunities, efforts and goals.

GLOBAL ATTACKS ON THE ISLAMIC WORLD

The Islamic world, in its geography where it should be sovereign, has been turned to the area of the undeclared, secret, 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.

Armed terrorist organizations: al Qaeda in Afghanistan, 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/PDY in Turkey, Al-Nusra Front, DAESH and HTS in Syria, which have drowned Turkey and Islamic geography in blood, tears and turned to debris, operate under the control and support of global powers.

Despite of the advantages they have, Islamic countries have fallen into enormous chaos and disorders through the interference of the imperialist Western states. As a result of this turmoil, the Islamic geography is suffering from a case of destruction and famine. 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 provided from the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees 2021, only 6,6 million Syrian citizens have emigrated.[x] This figure is even higher with unregistered refugees. Syrian refugees have migrated to Turkey (3.645.140), Iraq (242.163), Jordan (662.790), Egypt (130.577), Lebanon (865.531) and other places in North Africa (31.657). Regardless of these figures, there are intensive attempts to migrate to Europe and most of them lost their lives at the Mediterranean Sea. Despite these negativities, the total number of the registered refugees who were transferred to Europe from April 2011 to January 2021 was 1.022.142 refugees.[xi]

The Third World War continues as an undeclared war (Hybrid Warfare) 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 their unity and togetherness, so they became easy prey for the global powers. The United States, the European Union, France, Russia and China aim to establish their authority in Islamic countries in order to take over the Islamic geography by conducting proxy wars

with the terrorist organizations they control and the asymmetric methods of war they practice.
