November 2, 1914 - Sir Sultan Mohamed Shah, Aga Khan III sent a message to the Indian Muslims on Turkish entry into the War. It was printed in 'the Times', London, 4 November 1914.
Thousands of Muslims are fighting for their sovereigns already and all men must see that Turkey has not gone to war for the cause of Islam or for the defence of her independence. Thus our only duty as Muslims, now, is to remain loyal, faithful, and obedient to our temporal and secular allegiance. ([1] 510)
