Energy is one of the most important security issues for all countries. Even such that, from the beginning of 20th century, nearly all the global powers have never hesitated to horn in other smaller countries’ interior balances. And in the concept of this intermeddling courses, they might have gone too far as organizing coups, chaos, riots, terrorist attacks, conflicts and wars. All these unethical and tyrannous acts have done due to a realistic and hoggish approach on energy security issues. In addition, unfortunately, nearly all the due brutal and cruel moves that have been done in the Islamic geography, because of Muslim world’s weakness and owning more than %50 of the world’s energy resources.
Unfortunately, while Energy can be used as a development argument for the Islamic world, it has become an element of confusion and destruction due to the selfish Western mind. Undoubtedly it is the duty of Muslim countries to change this fact or at least to work with this aim.
In this context, it is highly necessary to get out of the conflicting issues and to put aside the ethnic and religiously sectarian fragilities, to develop a cooperation and to establish multi-faceted unions. Energy is undoubtedly crucial to such a model of cooperation. Because a significant portion of the countries in the Islamic world come to the fore with their energy resources.
Previously, some joint ventures have been made and some acts have been taken in order to ensure integration in the energy area. However, the results were severe for the entrepreneurs concerned. Nevertheless, at least it is possible to regain awareness by regrouping.
In this study, first of all, the importance of creating integration and unity in the field of energy for the Islamic world will be mentioned with emphasis on historical examples. Afterwards, “what the common energy security approach means” and “how it will be strategically constructed” will tried to be explained.
