Humanitarian Values and Nationality

1. Islam is the greatest humanity. The source of Islam consists of humanitarian values such as morals, tolerance and virtue. 

2. Merely love, sharing, tolerance, compassion and solidarity bring a humanitarian qualification to a human being. Societies full of people with these values serve World peace.

3. Freedom of belief and freedom of expression are the most basic humanitarian values. A religion whose members say ‘I live without bread but never liberty’stay away from racisim that spreads separation by saying ‘one right is my right’ and that is fueled by ‘destructing another’, sectarianism and being a political party.

4. The key to unity and solidarity is not the negative nationality that is fueled by destructing another but to em brace the positive and sacred Islamic nationality that is based on helping each other by embracing other people.

5. As in this World, Islamic brotherhood which is an eternal brotherhood that will continue in the World of spiritsand in afterlife, rejects racism. 

6. Since Bediüzzaman’s concept of positive nationality leads to unity,solidarity, helping each other and communication, it serves Islamic unity and results in genuine civilization.

7. It is a mortal poison that poisons basic human values such as racism, love, respect, tolerance and that turns the mint of feelings of anger, hatred and hostility.

8. Justice, which is one of the four principles of the Qur'an, is based on the principle of personality of the crime.The idea of nationalism causes to persecution by publicising the mistake made by a few men. 

9. Racism, also known as frank nuisance, is a trouble that damages Islam. The cure is only by clinging to Islam which provides communication and unity and combines knowing and ideas.

10. Work, let the generation awakened by the truth of Islam get fortunated! Let those who bridle their whims and appetites speak! Let those whose intentions are serving humanity come forward! Let cruelty and servility die! Let modesty, decency and humanity come into existence! Long live the domination of law, rule of law and equality of justice!
