A Call
for Unity
(A book by Harun Yahya,
Turkey)
We are living in an era in
which the world is desperately in need of peace,
friendship, and solidarity. Despite the urgent
need for unity and cooperation, certain circles
are inciting conflict, particularly conflict between
the world's two greatest and deep-rooted civilizations.
This issue needs to be explored, as the war of
civilizations that they predict would have disastrous
consequences for humanity. One of the best ways
of preventing such a disaster is to strengthen
the dialogue and cooperation between these civilizations.
This is not a hard task, as there are no fundamental
differences between Islam and the Judeo-Christian
Western world. To the contrary, there is much
common ground between them.
Today, ideological struggles, indeed, continue
to divide the world. However, Muslims are not
at one pole and Jews and Christians are not at
the opposing pole. In fact, one pole represents
people who believe in God's existence and unity,
and the other pole represents the unbelievers.
There is only one way to defeat the alliance of
the various groups of unbelievers on an ideological
level: eradicate the negative and destructive
influences of anti-religious materialism and further
the cause of a society dominated by morality,
happiness, tranquility, security, and prosperity.
This will be done by forming an alliance of all
conscientious people, namely, sincere Christians,
along with religious Jews and Muslims, who will
come together and unite in this common cause.
This book reveals that Muslims, Christians, and
Jews have common principles of faith, worship,
and moral values; face common dangers; and calls
on the People of the Book (Christians and Jews)
to unite with Muslims as fellow believers opposed
to atheism, anti-religiosity, and social as well
as moral degeneration.
