Union’s Family
Committee Strengthens Presence at Istanbul Forum to Protect Identity and Build
Awareness
The Family Committee of the
International Union of Muslim Scholars participated in an event organized by
the Global Forum for Thought and Culture on the occasion of its second
anniversary. The celebration was held under the slogan “Together, We Illuminate
the Paths of Thought” in Istanbul.
The committee was represented at
the event by Dr. Kamelia Helmy Toulon, Chairperson of the Family Committee. The
event took place at Sabahaddin Zaim University, with the attendance of a select
group of scholars, academics, and individuals interested in intellectual and
cultural affairs.
In her speech, Dr. Kamelia
emphasized the dangers of targeting identity through the manipulation of
thought and culture. She stressed that attacks on identity begin with ideas
before manifesting in behavior and that raising generational awareness forms the
primary shield for protecting societal values and constants.
She also highlighted the risks
posed by certain international agreements, which she described as promoting
deviant behavior and leading youth toward moral deviation. She considered these
agreements a direct threat to the family structure, aiming to dismantle the
concept of the family and alter the standards of natural, sound upbringing.
Dr. Kamelia affirmed that
preserving the family is both a religious and civilizational duty, and that
protecting its structure requires addressing the root causes of its
disintegration and fostering proper awareness among parents and youth, rather
than relying solely on slogans.
Addressing the audience, she
emphasized that taking pride in one’s identity is a necessity, not a choice, as
it forms the foundation of belonging and a source of societal strength. She
noted that nations that neglect their identity lose their ability to progress
and exert influence.
She praised the efforts of the
Global Forum for Thought and Culture in supporting authentic thought and
fortifying youth through programs and initiatives that help safeguard identity
from external influences.
Her participation received wide
acclaim from the audience, while the forum’s administration expressed its
appreciation for Dr. Kamelia’s scientific and awareness-raising role, valuing
the intellectual partnership between the forum and the International Union of
Muslim Scholars.
