World War again through the exploitation of racialism; so too it may now be utilized against Islamic brotherhood, for there are signs that covert atheists, the enemies of public peace and security, are again trying to cause harm through racialism. It is the character of racialism to be nurtured by negative action and causing harm to others, but throughout the world the Turkish nation is known to be first and foremost Muslim, and their racialism is blended with Islam and cannot be separated from it. Turk is synonymous with Muslim. And any who are not Muslim have cast off their Turkishness. Like the Turks, the Arabs and Arabness and Arab nationalism have combined with Islam, and it has to be like that. Their true nationality is Islam. That is sufficient. Racialism is altogether a grave danger. God willing, your most valuable alliance with Iraq and Pakistan at this time will repulse this dangerous harm and will be the means of gaining for this nation and country four hundred million brother Muslims in place of four or five million racists, and the friendship of eight hundred million Christians and members of other religions, who are in extreme need of peace and general reconciliation. I am telling you of this since it is a conviction I feel in the depths of my spirit.

Thirdly: Sixty-five years ago a governor read me a piece from a newspaper: an irreligious secretary for the colonies was speaking, He had taken the Qur'an in his hands, and had said: "As long as this remains in the hands of the Muslims we will not be able to truly dominate them and gain mastery over them. We shall have either to discredit the Qur'an or to make the Muslims lose their love of it."

Thus, with these two ideas, a fearsome secret society bent on corruption tried to cause harm to this unhappy, self-sacrificing, innocent, patriotic nation. So sixty-five years ago I sought help from the All-Wise Qur'an in the face of this current. With a short way to the truth and the idea of a large Islamic university, I found two means to save our lives the hereafter, and as a resulting benefit of it, to save also our lives in this world from absolute despotism and the destruction of misguidance and to increase and develop brotherhood between the Muslim peoples.

The First Means: This was the Risale-i Nur. Certain evidence that it has served the unfolding of brotherhood based on belief through the strength of belief are the unprecedented conditions and the persecution and powerlessness, under which it was written, and the effect it has shown in most places in the Islamic world and in America and Europe, and its victories these last thirty years over revolutionaries and atheistic philosophy and such schools of thought as materialism and naturalism, and the fact that no court of law or expert has been able to refute it. God willing, sometime those like you
