Turkey aims to open Islamic university...Other Islamic universities “unable to find solutions to problems in the world.” (HD)

The head of Turkey’s top religious body has announced plans to open an Islamic university in Istanbul, as an alternative to other renowned Islamic universities across the world such as Egypt’s Al-Azhar University.

Professor Dr. Mehmet Görmez, the head of the Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet), told a group of journalists in Mecca on Sept. 30 that they had applied to Turkey’s Higher Education Board (YÖK) to open an Islamic university.

Görmez said the current plan was to transform the 29 Mayıs University on Istanbul’s Anatolian side into the International Islamic University, claiming that Islamic universities in Egypt, Pakistan, Iran and Malaysia were “unable to find solutions to problems in the world.”
“The main problem today is that Muslims bring suffering, violence and sorrow to each other ... We have applied to YÖK for the transformation of 29 Mayıs University in Istanbul into the ‘International Islamic University’ in order to find peaceful solutions to these problems,” he said.

“I have been working on the issue for the three years and see that the curriculum of these universities does not help in providing solutions to the problems of Muslims. The scholars who graduate from these universities are becoming the problem themselves, rather than solving the problems. The International Islamic University in Istanbul aims to provide education in English, Arabic, Turkish and Farsi, and will have a mission of supporting these universities rather than becoming an alternative to them,” he added

 Hmmm.....Okay the rest of the World is incompetent, only 'neo Ottoman' university will save the World....another example of their 'Herren volk' attitude.
