In the first stage, from the end of World War II to the end of 1950s, the World Organization was initially established, and the "World Muslim Congress" and "Islamic Congress" with Karachi and Cairo as their headquarters were formed. The typical slogan is: Muslims in the world are "a Muslim nation".
In the second stage, in the 1960s, the "Islamic World Alliance" with Mecca as its headquarters was established, emphasizing its religious characteristics and opposing foreign ideology. "Muslims all over the world unite" became an important voice in this period.
In the third stage, after the failure of the third Middle East War, the government-run Organization of the Islamic Conference was established, with its headquarters in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Its activities were frequent, from "recovering the Holy City" to paying attention to the political and religious issues of the entire Islamic world, while the folk World Muslim Congress and the Islamic World Alliance continued to play their roles in contacting Muslims from all walks of life in the world. Farewell to the "caliphate movement", as mentioned above, the establishment of a big caliphate is the basic proposition of classical pan-Islamism. After the establishment of the Republic of Turkey on the basis of abandoning the caliphate, pan-Islamism bid farewell to the "caliphate movement". Before World War II, there were only six independent or semi-independent Islamic countries: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran and Egypt. After World War II, a large number of Islamic countries in Asia and Africa gained independence and liberation. 1970 when the organization of the Islamic conference was founded, it had 36 member States. By 1990, it had grown to 46 member States. This is a big family. The clear political mission and basic program of the new pan-Islamism is to realize the unity of the Islamic world and the unity and cooperation of Islamic countries.
Under the principle of "pan", each goes his own way. Strictly speaking, the new pan-Islamism failed to form a unified social trend of thought and a unified social movement. Stick to faith, purify Islamic society, and safeguard and realize Islamic unity. Generally speaking, these principles can be understood, but they all come from their own political status and religious position, and they do their own things in specific political and religious goals. Egyptian President Nasser thought of "three circles", that is, concentric circles with Egypt as the center: "Arabian Circle" (Pan-Arabism), "African Circle" (Pan-Africanism) and "Jiao Tong Circle" (Pan-Islamism). As the head of a nation-state, he is concerned about Arab nationalism, not pan-Islamism. King Faisal of Saudi Arabia (reigned 1964- 1975) stood as the king of Islamic State, with special emphasis on religious characteristics, Muslim Brotherhood and resistance to Arab nationalism. Religion and intellectuals are not responsible for a country's politics and economy. They talk about "Islamic integration" without considering the national interests of all countries.
Although the pre-war pan-Islamism movement had the activities of "World Muslim Congress", it lacked funds and had no permanent institutions and activity centers. Neo-pan-Islamism has formed three world organizations and activity centers with different scales. These organizations and centers, whether official or non-governmental, have received comprehensive economic support from the Islamic government. Especially since the 1970s, it has been supported by petrodollars from oil-rich Gulf countries such as Libya and Saudi Arabia, with abundant funds. Neo-pan-Islamism has both official top-down advocacy and Muslim bottom-up support. Because of collusion, neo-pan-Islamism is quite active. If classical pan-Islamism is mainly reflected in the activities of some folk and respected Islamic religious scholars, then new pan-Islamism is mainly reflected in the actions of three world-wide Islamic organizations. The former relied on the support of declining feudal lords, while the latter was actually manipulated and controlled by the newly independent Islamic government either explicitly or implicitly.
World Muslim Congress. As mentioned earlier, the Turkish caliphate ended in 1924, and the whole Islamic world lost its center. 1926, the first World Muslim Congress was held in Mecca. The kings of Saudi Arabia and Egypt used Mecca to gain the mantle of caliph, but no one did. 193 1 year, the second congress was held in Jerusalem, which was neither lively nor fruitful. There was little activity for the next ten years. Until 1949, the third congress was held in Karachi, and the newly independent Pakistan gave great enthusiasm. 195 1 year, the fourth session was held again in Karachi, announcing the official establishment of the World Muslim Congress, and establishing the Supreme Council and its subordinate permanent institutions, such as the Supreme Council of Mosques and the General Secretariat, with its headquarters in Karachi. 1962, the articles of association were adopted at the fifth Baghdad conference, with representatives from Islamic countries and 67 countries including the United States, Britain, India, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Australia and Japan, and the funds were shared by all countries. This non-governmental religious-political organization aims to spread Islam to the whole world, promote pan-Islamism and resist the influence of atheism and secularization of western Marxism.
