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. 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.
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.

8. International ASRICA Islamic Union Model Crises Seeking Solutions Congress Declaration
Final Declaration of the International Congress on the Seeking Solution to the Middle East and North Africa Crisis
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the congress titled ASRICA Model Islamic Union "Seeking Solutions to Middle East and North Africa Crises" held in 2024 is to address the crises in the Middle East Regional Islamic States Federation-ODBIF and North Africa Regional Islamic States Federation-KABIF geography, two of the federations that make up ASSAM's Model ASRICA Confederation, and to offer solutions.
SCOPE
The developments show that the welfare of Muslim nations, the security and survival of states, the establishment and maintenance of peace in the world, the dominance of justice will only be possible with the gathering of the Muslim geography under the umbrella of Asia-Africa, that is, the "ASRICA" confederation. In the model envisaged by ASSAM, there are a total of 18 countries in the Middle East and North Africa geography. Model ASRICA Middle East Regional Islamic States Federation – ODBIF consists of 12 countries including Bahrain, UAE, Palestine, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Jordan, Yemen, and Model ASRICA North Africa Regional Islamic States Federation – KABIF consists of 6 countries including Algeria, Chad, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, Tunisia.
ASSAM finds it possible to stop the Zionist regime and its supporters who dare from the disorganization of the countries of the region by gathering two regional federations and these regional Islamic Federations under the roof of the Model ASRICA Confederation according to their ethnic and geographical proximity, without changing the national borders of the Middle East Regional Islamic States Federation (ODBIF) and the North African Regional Islamic States Federation (KABIF). At this year's congress, solutions were sought by focusing mainly on the crises in Palestine, Syria, Yemen, Libya and Chad.
WAYS OUT OF CRISES IN THE MIDDLE EAST-NORTH AFRICA
There are social and economic problems caused by administrative problems in Muslim countries. In order to overcome these problems, it is extremely important for peace and stability to be managed with the political systems reflected in Islamic Law and the existence of administrations on the basis of integrity and honesty. On the other hand, it is a necessity for Muslim countries to establish, maintain and substitute a union in all administrative, political, economic and military fields by establishing an Intracivilizational Alliance, Islamic Union 2.0 on the axis of common civilization against the attacks of global racist imperialism.
The prominent solution topics as a result of the congress were as follows:;
Islamic Union (2.0) Against Imperialism is a must
Islamic Union 2.0 concept: The Islamic Union was realized when the great Islamic States conquered and annexed the geographies and countries to their own lands. In the Umayyad, Abbasid, Seljuk, and Ottoman examples, the Islamic Union was possible when the victorious state took the defeated countries under its rule as a result of the wars. In fact, the belief that today's Islamic Union will be realized with conquests as in history is common among Muslims. However, what is intended to be expressed with the ASRICA Islamic Union (2.0) model is envisaged as the inclusion of Islamic countries under the umbrella of the Union with their own consent, without fighting according to their ethnic and geographical proximity. In this respect, the concept of Islamic Union (2.0) was used to distinguish our vision of the Islamic Union in history and the future Islamic Union from one another.
Islamic geography is a geostrategically troublesome geography. That's why we need to “keep the magazine full and the finger on the trigger”. The main actor of the tears shed in the fertile crescent and the surrounding geography is Zionist Israel. It's time to wake up and unite. Enough comfort for Israel. After the end of the Cold War in 1990, the United States under the command of Zionism and POTUS (President of the United States) George W. Crusades were launched by Bush and Iraq was invaded, followed by Afghanistan in 2001. However, since these occupations caused both material and military losses, they caused objections in Western public opinion. Famous theorist Graham E. Fuller, who is a permanent political advisor to the American RAND Corporation think tank and a former deputy chairman of the National Intelligence Council of the US Central Intelligence Agency, put forward the thesis of ‘Conflict Within Civilization’ through nationalism and sectarianism, which are two fault lines in the Islamic world. Terrorist organizations established and financed by the West itself have been used as new means of occupation in the Islamic geography. In 2011, as a result of the beginning of the events that we call the "Arab Spring" of the West and the "Arab Ordeal" of the West, North Africa was in turmoil and Libya and Gaddafi, who exhibited the harshest attitude towards the West, were made to pay a heavy price. Libya was occupied and Gaddafi was lynched. Syria, on the other hand, was dragged into civil war. The scenario in Türkiye was eliminated by the people and strong political will on July 15. In this period, while the West attacked the Islamic world with empires, there were invasions and fragmentations that resulted in heavy defenses and defeats, as in the case of Islamic countries Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Our resources are exploited by racist imperialism. Therefore, the Islamic world is under the clear threat of the ‘Sick West’ in terms of its geopolitical value, underground and aboveground resources. With the intra-civilizational conflict initiated by the West through the clash of civilizations, there is only one way to stop the invasions it has substituted and sustained. It is the establishment and maintenance of an ‘intra-civilization alliance 2.0’ by the Islamic world. What happened is not a coincidence but a planned result, a result that has been achieved step by step for centuries. What is happening today is undoubtedly the result of the geopolitical philosophy of "Jewish Nazism-Political Zionism", which turned the world into a Jewish prison. It is the duty of all Muslims to fight against this order of oppression. The basis of the Idea of Islamic Union is the commandment "Muslims are only brothers", which is one of the basic assumptions of Islam. The model of society proposed by Islam is to be an ummah. It is a recipe for liberation from the traps of imperialism and exploitation. It is the confrontation of the Global System, Racist Imperialism and the G-7s with a just world order in which everyone is prosperous. The Idea of Islamic Unity is the search for salvation and resurrection from the weakness, helplessness and inferiority complex of the Islamic world against the Westerners. In this respect, the Islamic Union or in other words, the “Union of Islam” proposal is an alternative to the existing order in one aspect and reactive in the other. It aims to improve the situation of Muslims in the face of the West. It must be carried out. Our proposal for the solution of the problems in the Middle East and North Africa is as follows; A regional federation of Middle East and North African Islamic countries should be established and a unity of power should be established.
Collaborate with Anti-Zionist Jews
Sevsen Ebdah, Professor of Arabic Language and Literature at the University of Lebanon, said, “Israel and Zionism are a danger to Jews. Zionism has led to a totally disgusting Apartheid regime based on the systematic lie of the state and is already turning against Israel and the Jewish people.” “As a Jew, I believe Israel is now putting my life in danger. Because it fuels hatred against me and ignites the fires of anti-Semitism around the world.” These words belong to Rony Brauman. Among the Jews there are people who come from the Zionist family, but whose conscience is shaken by the suffering of the Palestinians and who suddenly think that everything they believe are deceptive stories within the Jewish community. Zionism is also seen and questioned by Jews as a threat and danger. For this reason, cooperation should be made with Anti-Zionist Jews in the fight against Zionism. Although the ongoing crimes against humanity in Gaza since 7 October 2023 have not been condemned by the current world order, they have already been condemned by the conscience of humanity. However, while the Zionist atrocity causes governments all over the world to question the policy of Gaza, it also turns into a flood of hatred against Jews. Jews who are afraid of this flood are worried about their future.
Node Strategy Should Be Applied in the Fight Against the Zionist State
The social, economic, political and military powers of the nations are interdependent. In short, the elements of national power are dependent on each other.
Therefore, if the national power elements of the Zionist State are targeted, the nodes that will constitute the key elements of national power, which will have the greatest effect in total and will ensure the dissolution of the society and shake the authority of the government, should be determined. The detected lock may not always require physical destruction in order to have an impact on the nodes. For example, success is achieved in societies whose morale becomes fragile by causing social turmoil or shaking the economy.
Israel has political, sociological and demographic nodal points. There was an early election in Israel in 2019. 29 parties participated in the elections. 9 parties exceeded the election threshold of 3.25. Interestingly, although he was in second place, the fascist and murderer Netenyahu was given the task of forming the government. It is very, very interesting that there are so many political parties in Israel with a population of 8.5 million. Of course, this is directly related to the sociology of Israel. Today, there is a serious Arab population in Israel, and the growth rate of this population is 3.5 percent, while the increase rate of the Jewish population is around 1.4 percent. There are also Jews of African descent who are not considered to be Jews. There are also European and US immigrant Jews who moved to Palestine before and after the second world war. This landscape shows that beside the radicals, there is a mass of voters with liberal, socialist and other ideologies. This is the soft belly of Israel . In Israel, the ideas, factions and separations to be confused and confused actually constitute a serious majority and sensitivity. However, the Islamic World is far from benefiting from this sensitivity. We do not turn to our real opponent from dealing with Israel and Jewish supporters among us. Not that, we are experiencing internal conflict. While Israel is enjoying comfort and expanding its territory with new occupations step by step, the geography around it is experiencing destruction. Another election was held on November 1, 2022, are the elections that have determined the 120 new members of the Knesset. While the election is normally expected to be held in 2026 , it was postponed due to the 2018-2022 Israeli political crisis. The participation of 1.5 times as many political parties in this election shows the political instability and sociological confusion in Israel. As can be seen, Israel's politics and sociology are disorganized. This mess can lead to great chaos and turmoil in Israel.
Palestine Must Have Its Own Army or Be Protected by Islamic Countries
Our late Adnan Tanrıverdi Pasha, the Founding President of ASSAM, stated in 2009: “The Palestinian people have proven that Islam is the Army in Gaza. States whose nation is Muslim should either protect Palestine with their own armed forces or create a modern armed force for Palestine that can cope with Israel. "Today," GAZA "would not have become a cemetery. In the Middle East and North Africa, the main purpose of the fire lit by the Zionists and their supporters is the "Greater Israel" delusion. The measure to be taken against this is the establishment of two separate regional federations under the Asian Axis Islamic Union Confederation proposed by Assam in the fields of political, military, economic, defense industry and foreign policy of the Middle East (ODBİF) and North Africa (KABİF) countries without changing their national borders .
Authority Exchanged in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Libya, Türkiye May Block Imperialism by Increasing Its Influence in the Region
The strategic partnership between the United States and Türkiye is over. Now is the time for Türkiye to create a strategy. The establishment of the PKK and its staging against Türkiye, the dirty game staged in Syria after Iraq, Operation Euphrates Shield, Spring Shield, Olive Branch and Peace Spring, and the disruption of this game by Türkiye helped us understand the US perspective on Türkiye. The US announced its national security strategy in November 2017. Accordingly, while Russia and China are opponents that challenge US values (exploitation), Egypt and Saudi Arabia are stated as friends and allies (slaves). In this document, Türkiye is neither a friend nor an ally. This means that the Turkish nation and state have been freed from "strategic slavery". In this way, Türkiye will be able to turn to advanced targets. Essentially, ‘something is either the same or better in terms of its consequences’. Türkiye's military operations to prevent the establishment of a terrorist in Syria in the regional occupation movement attempted by the US, the gendarmerie of Zionism, turned the ‘Greater Israel’ delusion into a nightmare. August 24, 2016 Operation Euphrates Shield is a milestone for Türkiye. Like Augusts in history. It is not only a milestone to be written in gold letters in the history of Turkish warfare, but also the milestone of independent and Greater Türkiye, where Türkiye regained the burdens it lost to the USA. These moves made by Türkiye in Syria are of historical importance not only to remove and discard the BOP, but also to increase Türkiye's effectiveness in the region. The continuation must be sustained.
