>>Ankerberg: Now, let�s go back to the moderates. You do have moderates in different parts of
the world. But why are they not succeeding in proclaiming their view of Islam?
>>Emir Caner: The moderates are losing every political battle. Turkey was a secular state.
Here come Erdogan in, and he wants to Islamize the country very gradually. In fact, Turkey�s
model of a gradual increase of Islam is what Morocco is modeling their new government on
with Benkirane. On the other hand, you�ve got Egypt with Morsi, the Muslim Brotherhood,
that�s trying to affect the rest of North Africa, Tunisia and Algeria and so forth.
Those two are battling, Muslim Brotherhood versus Turkey; while, of course you have Shia
with Ahmadinejad. You have the Wahhabi�s in Saudi. But the Caliphate will probably
draw that all in and the enemy of my enemy becomes my friend and they�ll see that the
power resides within the organization of Islamic countries, and they hope one day within United
Nations, as they become a powerhouse there as well.
