Millî Görüş (Turkish: [milˈliː ɟœˈɾyʃ], lit. 'National Outlook' or 'National Vision') or Erbakanism is a religious-political movement and the ideology of a series of Islamist parties inspired by Necmettin Erbakan. It argues that Turkey can develop with its own human and economic power by protecting its core [Islamic] values and combating 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. Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, a lieutenant of Erbakan, founded the more moderate Justice and Development Party, which has governed Turkey since 2002.

It has been called one of "the leading Turkish diaspora organizations in Europe"[2] and also described as the largest Islamic organization operating in the West.[3] Founded in 1969, the movement claimed to have "87,000 members across Europe, including 50,000 in Germany," as of 2005.[4] The term also refers to the "religious vision" of the organization[2] that emphasizes the moral and spiritual strength of Islamic faith (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.
