Millî Görüş (Turkish:

European imperialism.[1] Multiple political parties in Turkey adopted the ideology, such as New Welfare Party, Felicity Party, Virtue Party, Welfare Party, National Salvation Party and National Order Party
.

It has been called one of "the leading Turkish diaspora organizations in Europe"

iman) and explains the Muslim world's decline as a result of its ignorance and imitation of Western values.[5] The movement is active in nearly all European countries and also countries like Australia,[6]
Canada and the United States.

Head office of the Islamic Community Milli Görüş in Köln, Germany.

Background

In 1969 the

industrialization, development and economic independence.[citation needed
]

It warned against further rapprochement towards

Islamization of Turkey and called instead for Pan-Islamism. According to author Banu Eligur, Erbakan and the party "used the code words national and culture to refer to Islam, and National Vision to refer to the project of Political Islam" as "it is illegal" in Turkey "to use religious symbols for political purposes."[8]

The name of Millî Görüş would remain associated with a religio-political movement and a series of

Islamist parties inspired by Erbakan, one succeeding the other as they were banned for violating Turkey’s secularist
legislation.

Islamist rift

Following the ban of the Virtue Party (FP), a rift that had been developing in the movement resulted in two parties taking its place, the Felicity Party (SP) representing Erbakan’s old guard, and the Justice and Development Party (AK Party) led by younger and more pragmatic politicians around Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, which claims to have renounced a specifically Islamist agenda. The AK Party convincingly won the 2002 elections and formed a government with a strong popular mandate, that brought Turkey closer to acceptance for membership in the European Union than any previous government had done.

European Turkish diaspora

Among the

mosques. Like the movement in Turkey, it went through some remarkable changes, not least because the first generation, which was strongly oriented towards what happened in Turkey, is gradually surrendering leadership to a younger generation that grew up in Europe
and is concerned with entirely different matters. Milli Görüş' public profile shows considerable differences from one country to the next, suggesting that nature of the interaction with the 'host' societies may have as much of an impact on its character as a religious movement as the relationship with the 'mother' movement in Turkey.

Germany

According to several sources in Germany the attitude of the German branch towards Turkey has completely changed. After the taking over of Erdogan and the AKP the organisation is mainly serving the interest of the Turkish government which now subsidizes the organisation. Diyanet, AKP and the Turkish government practically control the organisations public statements and appearances.[9][10][11] [12][13]

Because of fraud and criminal offences of the board of directors several trials are running against the organisation.[14][15][16]
