GEOPOLITICAL VALUE OF ISLAMIC GEOGRAPHY:

57 of the 206 States in the World (27% of the member states)1,859,779,580 of the 7,916,525,000 world population (23.49% of the world population), the Islamic geography, which is owned by 57 Islamic Countries, covers 30.9 million km2 (20.6% of the lands of the whole world) of the world's 150 million km2with the bloc they formed when the borders between them are ignored:

  • Which is located in the center of the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, known as the world island,
  • Which is controlling the Gibraltar, Bab El-Mendeb, Hormuz, Çanakkale and Istanbul straits and the Suez Canal, which are considered the gateways to the Mediterranean, Red Sea and Black Sea, which is the world's largest inland seas,
  • Which have coasts to the Atlantic Ocean, Indian Ocean, Mediterranean, Black Sea, Red Sea and Caspian Sea,
  • Which is bordered by land and sea to the continents of Asia, Europe and Africa, to the global powers of the world such as the European Union, Russia, India and , China, and to the United States by sea,
  • Which have the opportunity to be the center of the land, air and sea transportation routes without alternatives,
  • Which owns 55.5% of the world's oil reserves, 45.6% of its production also 64.1% of natural gas reserves, 33% of its production,

By combining its geopolitical position, common civilization values and historical background with its opportunities, efforts and goals, it has the potential to become the superpower of the future.

GLOBAL ATTACKS TO THE ISLAMIC WORLD

In its geography where it should be sovereign, the Islamic world has become the site of the undeclared, secret, insidious, dirty and asymmetric World War III, in which the ethnic and sectarian units within the unitary structures of each Islamic country are fighting each other.

Despite the advantages they have, Islamic countries have fallen into a great turmoil with the interventions of the imperialist western states. As a result of this turmoil, great suffering and destruction are experienced in the Islamic countries. Millions of Muslims are forced to choose between leaving their homes or dying. Thousands of Muslims die in various ways on the migration routes, and those who manage to migrate are doomed to live in poverty and misery.

According to the official data of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, as of 2021, according to official records, 6.6 million Syrian citizens immigrated around the world. ([xviii]) This figure is even higher with unregistered refugees. Syrian refugees migrated to Türkiye (3,388,698), Iraq (262,218), Jordan (660,605), Egypt (145,157), Lebanon (805,326) and other countries in North Africa (41,742). Apart from these figures, there are intense attempts to migrate to Europe and most of them lose their lives in the Mediterranean. Despite these adversities, the total number of registered refugees crossing into Europe from April 2011 to January 2021 was 1,022,142. ([xix])

The World War III is being waged as an undeclared war (hybrid war) against Islamic countries. After the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, the Muslims, who were left without a government, tried to continue their existence by establishing small states, but because they lost their unity and solidarity, they became an easy to swallow for global powers. The United States, European Union, England, France, Russia and China aim to establish authority in Islamic countries by waging proxy wars with the terrorist organizations they control and the asymmetric war methods they apply in order to seize the Islamic geography.

Our congress was held on December 23-24, 2023 in video-conference method. In our congress, the subject of “Determination of the Principles and Procedures of the Common Justice System for the Islamic Union” will be examined under the main theme of “Model ASRICA Confederation Justice System”.
