just one clarification, im not saying GCC should take the lead, im not saying turkey should take the lead, im saying they all need to take the lead as a bloc inshAllah.

In anotehr thread i posted a lot of links showing the imporvements in cooperation between muslim lands and that includes turkey and the GCC who are cooperating well mashAllah together and seem to be working well together. Turkey has moved away from the shia countries and western countries alhamdulillah and is working with otehr sunni countries in economics etc. turkey is invovled in teh developm,ent of the f-35, americas latest fighter jet, they have a lot to offer mashALlah, as do the GCC. neitehr are perfect but both are good given our situation

Thanks for the clarification brother, I see what your saying and i agree with the idea of muslim cooperation. InshaAllah a strong islamic bloc in the near future with real geopolitical and economic clout is not unrealistic. I also hope muslim unity would include our shia brothers, as i hold the view, as with some scholars, that twelver shias are within the folds of islam (albeit with major deviancies), especially since they pronounce the shahada and face the same qibla. Therefre a Muslim world / political bloc which includes both sunni and shia countries would be good (im pretty sure this is a minority view on this forum!)

But anyway, that maybe a different discussion altogether, and not one this thread is intended for!
May Allah SWT unite us.
