<title>JUST LIKE ADNAN OKTAR STATED PREVIOUSLY, THE WORLD'S LEADING ECONOMISTS NOW SAY THE CRISIS WILL NOT END BEFORE 2014</title>

<description><![CDATA[ In his statements Adnan Oktar has said that the economic crisis that has affected the whole world began in 2007 and will come to an end in 2014. In the wake of Adnan Oktar's statements the world&rsquo;s leading economic institutions, especially the IMF, and economists have issued similar announcements. For example, a report by the IMF stated that the national revenues of many countries, including the USA, Great Britain and Ireland will only begin to rise again as of 2014. The deputy Japanese finance minister said that there might be some improvements during this process, but that these will be temporary, and that the crisis will persist until 2014. Adnan Oktar has also been expressing this reality in statements and on various TV channels ever since November 2008. Mr. Oktar's analyses and statements have once again been shown to be highly accurate.

            Kackar TV, 25 November 2008
            
            ADNAN OKTAR: Indeed, our Prophet (saas) has set out in some detail how this economic crisis will take place in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). He said it in the hadith. Look, let me tell you one of them. &ldquo;Stagnation in the markets and bazaars is one of the portents of Doomsday. I said, what does stagnation in the markets mean? These things, complaints of low earnings is a portent of the coming of the Mahdi (as), that and great storms&hellip;&rdquo; This is one of the major portents of the End Times and will last a long time, according to the hadith and the indications in the Qur&rsquo;an. There was a famine in the time of the Prophet Yusuf (as), as you know. That is referred to in Surah Yusuf and there are allusions to the Prophet Yusuf (as) attaching importance to agriculture. For example, the surah refers to oxen and wheat, the importance of the ox in livestock raising and of wheat in agriculture, storing wheat and using it economically, avoiding waste in other words, and a timing with a seven. AND THIS CRISIS ALSO BEGAN WITH A SEVEN, IT BEGAN IN 2007 AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 2014.

            REPORTER: What do you say about the global, financial crisis centered in America and that is plaguing the whole world? Are there political plans and ruses behind it, Mr. Oktar? ADNAN OKTAR: No, this is an economic crisis described by our Prophet (saas) as occurring in the End Times. This is widely indicated in the Qur&rsquo;an. Almighty Allah says, &ldquo;Wherever We have sent a messenger we have produced economic crises and high costs of living so that people there will beg for help.&rdquo; Would America want to be in that position? The wealthy in America are currently in desperate straits. They do not oppress and humiliate themselves that much. Banks, workplaces and factories are folding one after the other. And there is total panic in America, Russia and China. And they cannot stop it. They are falling like dominoes, one after the other. This is not something that can be stopped. It is one of the events before the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times. It is one of the portents of the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as). It is an event that will engulf the capitalist system, it will swallow the whole system in the way the Prophet Musa&rsquo;s (as) staff swallowed the snake. And nobody will be able to withstand it. IT BEGAN IN 2007 AND WILL LAST FOR 7 YEARS. It will lead to global famine. That is why it is indicated in the Qur&rsquo;an. The Prophet Yusuf (as) says, &ldquo;Store wheat, because there will be famine.&rdquo; &ldquo;And after famine there will be abundance&rdquo; he says. REPORTER: Do you foresee a particular timing regarding this? ADNAN OKTAR: IT STARTED IN 2007. THIS CRISIS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 2014. I say that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will be physically visible in 2014.

            Cay TV, 31 January 2009
            
            ADNAN OKTAR: It will swallow them all. This is a devastation that will last for 7 years. Allah will destroy them all within 7 years. Watch the papers and the television. You will hear reports every day, reports about somewhere collapsing, and this will not stop for 7 years. 
            PRESENTER: Countries have even gone bankrupt. 
            ADNAN OKTAR: IT BEGAN IN 2007. IT WILL SWALLOW THEM, SWALLOW THE WHOLE SYSTEM, UNTIL 2014. And they will be very poor and helpless, and will bend the knee and beg to be saved. And famine will emerge as a result. So they will have nothing, no goods or possessions, to boast about or show off with, to be proud and arrogant over, and none of their own glory. Like Kharun, Allah will bring down their whole system. The story of Kharun in the Qur&rsquo;an is happening now in the End Times. In other words, all of Kharun&rsquo;s treasure is now sinking. Kharun&rsquo;s treasure was very famous, as you know, and the Qur&rsquo;an describes it as very great. It says his power, his economic power was very great. And these people&rsquo;s economic power was very great. But they have now entered that period of famine referred to in Surah Yusuf.

            Kon TV, 1 February 2009
            
            Adnan Oktar: That means there is something wise and important, if it has reached their ears in waves in this way. And they are now saying this. As I remember, a columnist on daily Aksam also says it will last between 7 and 10 years, and his statement came weeks after mine. That means they have understood correctly. That means that such an opinion has formed in America and in Turkey, and shows how correct those words were. 
            Presenter: This is just the right time to ask. Why 7? 
            Adnan Oktar: This is described comprehensively in Surah Yusuf. Seven years of famine, 7 years of plenty. THE CRISIS BEGAN IN 2007 AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL 2014. In 2014 we will feel the presence of Hazrat Mahdi (as). Nobody will be able to say he has not felt him or understood. They will understand very clearly. There will be a 7-year period of awakening and coming to life from 2014 to 2021.

            Kral Karadeniz TV, 6 March 2009 
            
            ADNAN OKTAR: But note that all these marvels will keep on happening. For example, I said that it would not rain, and the rains have not come. They immediately came up with a pretext, blaming it on global warming. So why are all the dams full? The dams are full to bursting. Last year there was a drought. But now they are full up and there is plenty of rain. The same as in the hadith. So where does global warming come in? This is a feature of the End Times. A feature of the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). We are told this will happen in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). It has happened at just the right time. And the date when the crisis started is just right, 2007, and it will last for 7 years. It will continue until 2014. The date when it started is crystal clear. Look, I am telling you it will destroy the capitalist system. Every day another large company collapses, every day, literally, a state goes under; states are going under.

            Kral Kradeniz TV, 3 April 2009
            
            ADNAN OKTAR: Even if America had all the boron mines in the world that would still not be enough to save it. Let me state it openly, America&rsquo;s position is catastrophic. Europe&rsquo;s position is catastrophic. China and Russia will all collapse. There is absolutely no way out, and they have collapsed even as of now. THEY HAVE COLLAPSED RIGHT FROM THE OUTSET. THIS WILL KEEP ON INCREASING UNTIL NEXT YEAR, BUT I EXPECT AN EASING IN 2013, AND INSHA&rsquo;ALLAH IT WILL STOP AFTER 2013, IN 2014, BY ALLAH&rsquo;S LEAVE. You will see it happen just like I have said. But there will be huge wealth in around 2021. Really extreme wealth. People will have so much they will have nothing to spend money on. But this will be with the abundance from Hazrat Mahdi (as) and the Prophet Jesus (as), insha&rsquo;Allah. Tell our brothers to put this CD away. The period from 2013-2021 will pass very quickly, in the blink of an eye. Tell them to hide the CDs of this interview in their homes. They will see it all happens exactly as I have said. Exactly. We are in a metaphysical age.

            Cay TV, 11 March 2009
            
            ADNAN OKTAR: But the economic crisis is of course a portent of the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in the End Times. This will happen in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). In the Qur&rsquo;an, Almighty Allah says, &ldquo;Whenever We sent an messenger (a warner, a Mahdi) We have also produced an economic crisis so that they should beg (return to Allah, surrender to Allah.)&rdquo; Allah says He has produced high costs of living. He says He has given rise to famine. This is the greatest and most important of events, this event in the End Times. It is a global phenomenon. It will grow and grow. It is growing apace now. Let me say it will be even more severe this year. It will grow much worse. It began in 2007, as you know. The crisis will start to slow down around 2013 in all likelihood, and will come to a total end in 2014. We will feel the presence of Hazrat Mahdi (as) in 2014, of his system. But we will see our Azeri brothers here around 2021, and our Kazakh brothers, our brothers from Turkestan, our Syrian and Iraqi brothers, and we will go to them, and the Turkish-Islamic Union will have been established. And there will be an amazing wealth, and amazing abundance, and peace and plenty, insha&rsquo;Allah.

            Ekin TV, 16 February 2009
            
            ADNAN OKTAR: The characteristic of the Golden Age is that it is like a birth pain. The spread of corruption, terrible bloodshed, the invasion of Iraq, the invasion of Afghanistan, the occupation of Iraq by many foreign countries, bloodshed in Palestine and incidents in Jerusalem, our Prophet (saas) has described all these in detail. He says that Allah will be openly denied. Before the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as), he says. There have been posters openly denying the existence of Allah on the sides of busses in England, so that has happened, too. I wrote about that 20 years ago in my book, describing that as a portent of the End Times, and it has happened to the letter. Out prophet (saas) says in the hadith that there will be an economic crisis, prior to Hazrat Mahdi (as), and that has come about. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will appear after all kinds of corruption, of strife and fire. Allah will make Hazrat Mahdi (as) His instrument in putting those fires out. That is his distinguishing feature, because if there is no fire, no strife, no slaughter and injustice, then Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not appear. This is the reason for Hazrat Mahdi&rsquo;s (as) existence, the reason for his appearance. It is the reason for the coming of the Prophet Jesus (as). That is why such things are happening, in order to make people think, to draw them closer to Allah, and there is wisdom behind them all. For example, there was a war in Bosnia, but everyone became very devout. Everyone became devout as a result. There was a war in Iraq, and all those who used to puff on their hookahs, take drugs, go to the Communist Party and harbor Stalinist ideas have now all become Muslims. Syria is also full of devout believers now. Palestine used to be somewhere that communists were trained in. But now it is overflowing with religious believers. That means that troubles and suffering draw people closer to Allah and are instrumental in their turning to faith. These are all features of the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as). All these famine, scarcity and poverty will come to an end in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), and injustices will come to an end. An age of peace and security will come. But THIS ECONOMIC CRISIS BEGAN IN 2007 AND THE QUR&rsquo;AN, THE HADITH AND THE TORAH INDICATE THAT IT WILL LAST UNTIL 2014. IT WILL LAST FOR 7 YEARS. It will be like the flood of Nuh, meaning that it will grow and expand all the time. The only salvation from that flood is with the faith of the Turkish-Islamic world, gratitude and economy.

            ADNAN OKTAR: Now this crisis is a metaphysical one; all the economists, scientists, industrialists, capital investors in the world and everyone are desperately trying to put a stop to it, but they cannot and will not be able to. It will bring the entire system down. You will see that all the major companies in the world collapse, one by one. And this will go on for 7 years, which is not little time, 7 years. There will be famine in many countries. The Qur&rsquo;an indicates as much. It suggests that wheat should be stocked and importance attached to livestock raising. As you know, the Prophet Yusuf (as) was in charge of the economy in his day. He said that famine would begin, and that it would last for 7 years. He therefore recommended that wheat be stored away, and stocks of wheat were made ready. And verses also point to the importance of raising livestock. Things happened just as the Prophet Yusuf (as) said they would. And there was a huge famine that lasted for 7 years. The same thing is happening again now. 
            REPORTER: There was a major collapse on the London Stock Exchange in 1987. We are again looking at numbers connected to the figure 7. 
            ADNAN OKTAR: The crisis began in 2007. The law of Allah is that it will last until 2014. And the crisis will persist until the whole global system has collapsed. And it will force people to see the might of Allah.

            ADNAN OKTAR: It will take a bit of time, in my view. I think it will take until 2014. That is what the course of events and history suggests. But my main scale of measurement is the hadith. That is what appears from the measures in the hadith. IN OTHER WORDS, THE ECONOMIC CRISIS WILL HAVE CALMED DOWN AND COME TO A STOP IN 2014. A strengthening and development will begin in political and economic terms, and the Turkish-Islamic Union will then become a reality, insha&rsquo;Allah.

<title>AS ADNAN OKTAR HAS STATED, THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION IS THE ONLY POSSIBLE SALVATION FOR PALESTINE AND ISRAEL </title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=11875</link>
<description><![CDATA[ 
 

    
        
            ADNAN OKTAR: I even think that Israel will be able to relax and trade freely and to the fullest extent in the region. There is step by step progress in that direction. I believe this target will be achieved in the near future. They will also find things easier and attain salvation within the Turkish-Islamic Union because Israel will be under the protection of the Turkish-Islamic Union. It will be freed from the problem of terror, from violence. Its walls will be torn down. At the moment, Israel is a kind of prison. It is surrounded by walls on all sides. Those walls will be brought down. Israel will be able to relax and trade with the region with no difficulty. The pressure on it will be lifted. And therefore the pressure that Israel puts on Muslim states, on Muslims countries, will also be lifted. An age of total peace and security will dawn. That is why I can say that the immediate establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union is the main and foremost question facing the world. (Al Baghdadi TV, August 5, 2008)
        
    


 

In his statements on the Palestinian-Israeli problem, Adnan Oktar stresses that the Turkish-Islamic Union is the only way to bring peace and security to the region, and that this will represent salvation, not only for Palestinian Muslims, but also for Israel. Mr. Oktar suggests that both sides treat one another with love and compassion, and says that everyone can live together as brothers in this land, that is sacred to all believers. He stresses that with the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union, the union will act as guarantor for everyone and will protect both Israel and Palestine. Mr. Oktar&rsquo;s calls for moderation and love and the path he has shown have begun to have effect. The Palestinian side recently took out a full-page Hebrew announcement in the Israeli press stating that they were on the side of peace and wanted to see the peace plan made a reality straight away. One of the most striking aspects of the announcement was the flags of Muslim countries that decorated its border. The use of the flags of just about all Muslim countries in the announcement shows that the call for peace and brotherhood represents the voice of the whole Turkish-Islamic world and, even more importantly, indicates that the Turkish-Islamic Union is the force that will bring peace to the region. 

One of the striking aspects of the reports on the subject appearing in the press is that they analyze the way that FOR THE FIRST TIME the Palestinian side has attempted direct dialogue with the Israeli people and the significance of turning to a democratic path.

            ADNAN OKTAR: You will not be able to recognize the Turkey of the future. It will literally be a regional super-power, as a result of which Israel will be saved, Armenia will be in a better position, Palestine will be in a good position, and Israel will enjoy a peace and security it has never known before in its history. The Palestinian problem will be completely resolved. Turkey is the key to all this. And there is open demand for it. In other words, Iraq also wants it. Iraq in fact wants to unite with Turkey. In the same way, Syria also wants to unite with Turkey and wants Turkish administration. But as separate states, of course. They want Turkey to take over as a spiritual leader. And when Turkey puts it&hellip; (Kıbrıs Ada TV-August 1, 2008)

&ldquo;Peace &lsquo;ad&rsquo; from the Palestinian administration&rdquo;





    
        
            ADNAN OKTAR: Christians are also our brothers. And Jews are our brothers. Armenians and Georgians are all our brothers, because they are all people we took to our bosoms in the Ottoman community of nations, people who served the Ottoman Empire, who served Turkishness. They are people who served Islam and the Qur&rsquo;an. The greatest craftsmen and artists emerged from among the Armenians, for instance. Or from among the Greeks. Jewish scientists and Jewish artists performed great services and worked in the palaces. But this strife was produced subsequently. The Masons acted quite treacherously, using the corruption of racism, suggesting the supposed existence of hatred and conflict&hellip; They became unwilling to admit to being Jews. That was a Masonic ruse. But they are the People of the Book and are our brothers. They love the Prophet Abraham. They love Ishmael. And Isaac and Jacob. They believe in the one Allah. We love the same prophets. We love the same angels. And they are all earlier forms of the true faith. They are old true faiths. Islam is of course the last true faith, insha&rsquo;Allah. But they are also the People of the Book. Allah states that they are the People of the Book in the Qur&rsquo;an. That is why this hatred and enmity must come to an end. Israel will be as free as possible. Armenia will be free. (Uşak ART TV-August 19, 2008)

            The report says this is the FIRST TIME that a Palestinian leader has tried to make direct contact with the Israelis.
        
    





One of the recent reports in the press on the subject of Palestine and Israel concerns the need for Turkey to act as intermediary in order for the problem to be resolved. Both the Israeli and Palestinian sides openly say they want Turkey to act as intermediary. The fact that both sides wholeheartedly want to see Turkey as intermediary is a sign that, as Mr. Oktar says, the problem can only be solved if TURKEY ASSUMES THE ROLE OF OLDER BROTHER.

            ADNAN OKTAR: The immediate establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union is essential for the entire region. That Turkish-Islamic Union does not imply any racial superiority or that we are the best. It will rather be one that treats Christians with great affection, treats Jews with great affection, and recognizes their right to exist&hellip; For one thing, it will come as a huge relief to Israel. Those people are now trapped behind a wall, living in a prison and facing the fear of death on a daily basis. And there is a climate of total savagery and absolute poverty in Palestine; that is a sin and a disgrace, and there is no other alternative solution. No American or British intervention can save them. The only solution is for Turkey to intervene and play the role of older brother. Every passing day imposes a spiritual responsibility on us. It needs to happen right away. (Kordon TV-July 27, 2008)
        
    



AN EXTRACT FROM ADNAN OKTAR'S BOOK PALESTINE


    
        
            Based on this fundamental principle, we call on the Israelis (and all Jews) to realize the following facts:
            
            1) Muslims and Jews believe in one God, the Creator of the universe and all things therein. We are all God's servants, and to Him shall we all return. So why hate each other? The holy books we believe in are superficially different but in essence the same, for they come from the same God. Therefore we all abide by them. So why should we fight one another?
            
            2) Instead of living along with Muslims, would the observant Jews prefer to live along with atheists or pagans? The Torah is full of passages describing the terrible cruelties inflicted upon the Jews by pagans. The terrible genocide and cruelty inflicted upon them by atheists and unbelievers (e.g., the Nazis, anti-Semitic racists, or such communist regimes as Stalin's Russia) are clear for all to see. These atheist or pagan forces hated the Jews, and thus oppressed them, because they believed in God. Are not Jews and Muslims on the same side against these atheist, communist, or racist forces that hate them both?
            
            3) Muslims and Jews love and respect many of the same prophets. The Prophets Ibrahim (Abraham), Ishaq (Isaac), Yusuf (Joseph), Musa (Moses), or Dawud (David), peace be upon them all, are at least as important for Muslims as they are for Jews. The lands where these holy figures lived and served God are at least as holy for Muslims as they are for Jews. So why drown these lands in blood and tears?
            
            4) The fundamental values of Jews are also sacred to us Muslims. The word &quot;Israel&quot; is the name of Prophet Ya'qub (Jacob), peace be upon him, who is praised in the Qur'an and remembered with great respect by Muslims. The Magen David (Star of David), a symbol associated with King David is a holy symbol for us too. According to Qur'an 22:40, Muslims must protect synagogues because they are places of worship. So why should members of the two religions not live together in peace?
            
            5) The Torah commands Jews to establish peace and security, not to occupy the lands of others and spill blood. The people of Israel are described as &quot;a light unto the nations&quot; in the Torah. As the &quot;Rabbis for Human Rights&quot; declare:
            We are told: &quot;Justice, justice, you shall pursue&quot; (Deuteronomy 16:20). Why is the word justice said twice? Because, according to our tradition, one is to pursue a just cause by just means. In defending ourselves, we must always hold on to the prophetic vision of decency and humanity. The survival of the Jewish people will be determined not only by its physical acumen, but also, by its moral steadfastness. 
            If the Israelis continue to treat the Palestinians as they do now, they may be unable to account for that to God. Similarly, those Palestinians who kill innocent Israelis may also be unable to account for those murders. Is it not a duty in the eyes of God to put an end to the fighting, which is dragging both sides deeper into unending violence?
            
            We invite all Jews to consider these facts. God commands us Muslims to invite Jews and Christians to a &quot;common formula&quot;: 
            Say: &quot;O People of the Book! Let us rally to a common formula to be binding upon both us and you: That we worship none but God; that we associate no partners with Him; and that we erect not, from among ourselves, Lords and patrons other than God.&quot; (Qu'ran, 3:64)
            This is our call to the Jews, a People of the Book: AS PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN GOD AND OBEY HIS COMMANDS, LET US COME TOGETHER IN A COMMON FORMULA OF &quot;FAITH.&quot; LET US LOVE GOD, THE LORD AND CREATOR OF ALL OF US. LET US ABIDE BY HIS COMMANDS. LET US PRAY TO GOD TO LEAD US FURTHER ON THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS. LET US BRING LOVE, COMPASSION, AND PEACE TO EACH OTHER AND THE WORLD, NOT HOSTILITY, BLOODSHED, AND ANGUISH.
            
            That is where the solution to the Palestinian tragedy and other conflicts in the world lies. The deaths and suffering of so many innocent people remind us every day what an urgent task this is.

<title>AS ADNAN OKTAR HAS SAID, TURKEY IS PLAYING THE ROLE OF OLDER BROTHER TO THE WHOLE ISLAMIC WORLD</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=11874</link>

            ADNAN OKTAR: Turkey&rsquo;s duty is to lead the Turkish-Islamic world. The Turkish nation has a huge responsibility. Leadership of the Turkish-Islamic world is of the greatest duties in history. This is one of the crucial tasks falling to the Turkish nation. We, the Turkish nation, have a duty not just to save Turkey, but to save the entire Turkish-Islamic world&hellip; (Konya TV-February 28, 2008)
        
    





Recent developments have once again shown that Mr. Oktar&rsquo;s analyses are exceedingly accurate and that the good news he has imparted about the future of the Turkish-Islamic world has begun coming true. One of these developments is the leaders of Pakistan and Afghanistan coming together in Turkey under Turkish inspiration. This development, described in the press as &ldquo;Turkey has done what the West could not,&rdquo; shows that the whole Islamic world looks at Turkey with love and respect and regards Turkey as its natural leader. Indeed, Afghanistan Foreign Minister Rangin Spanta&rsquo;s words, &ldquo;Turkey is a modern, Muslim and democratic country. It definitely plays an important role as a friend of the two countries...&rdquo; highlight the importance they attach to Turkey. Former Afghanistan Interior Minister Ali Jalali has described how it is essential that Turkey be involved in the peace process, stating that they &ldquo;will welcome all kinds of positive participation from Turkey.&rdquo;

&ldquo;Turkey is again to bring the leaders 
of Afghanistan and Pakistan together&rdquo;

&ldquo;The Afghan administration will be delighted&rdquo;





    
        
            ADNAN OKTAR: Turkey&rsquo;s role as older brother has begun spreading ever more widely, and everyone accepts it. For example, Georgia and Armenia accept Turkey as an older brother, and that is most welcome. The region is very fond of Turkey. They love Turkish soldiers. There is an unbelievable affection for Turkish troops in the world. It is known as a very blessed army. In my view, the roads are open right to the very end, and it seems to me that the Turkish-Islamic Union will be founded comfortably within the next 10 years at most. (Hatay TV-September 7, 2008)

            ADNAN OKTAR: Turkey always behaves very honestly. &hellip; It seeks to do the most honest, most correct and most virtuous thing. Any careful observer can see that, because Turkish troops are welcomed in whichever country they go to. That means they are as honest as can be. That means they are as well intentioned as can be. Otherwise those people would be unhappy. Turkish troops are very popular in Afghanistan. They went to Bosnia and were popular there. They are popular wherever they go to. That stems from their honesty, from the honesty of Turkish troops. (Al Hurra TV-April 8, 2008)

            &quot;Turkey will have put its name to another first.&quot; 
        
    





 

    
        
            Reporter: Muslims are exposed to mass slaughter. Earlier in Bosnia. And now in Iraq, in Afghanistan and in Palestine. What do you think needs to be done? 
            
            ADNAN OKTAR: It is obligatory, according to the Qur&rsquo;an, for Muslims to act together, as brothers, and to gather around a single leader, again as brothers. Muslims are not doing that. Not doing that opens the door to all kinds of affliction. Muslims should abide by that obligation. That is why I say there must be a Turkish-Islamic Union under Turkish leadership, under the leadership of the Turkish nation. Every state can remain as a separate nation state. Every state can behave freely within its own borders, but there should be a spiritual leader. That is because the Christians have their leader, the Pope. It is essential that Muslims also have a spiritual leader. If this spiritual union has a leader, all this corruption and strife can easily come to an end. In that event, if a single hair of any Muslim anywhere in the world is hurt, the incident will come to an immediate end since all Muslims will act in concert. But if there is this fragmentation, if they act according to a policy of divide and swallow up, then it will of course be a simple matter to swallow up the small components. But it is impossible to swallow up the whole block of the Muslim world. Muslims must observe this obligation at once. (Al Baghdadi TV-June 29, 2008)

<title>THE IMPACT OF ADNAN OKTAR'S STATEMENTS ENCOURAGING THE IDEOLOGICAL STRUGGLE AGAINST DARWINISM</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=10479</link>
<description><![CDATA[ For some 30 years, ever since 1979, Adnan Oktar has been waging a great intellectual struggle against Darwinism. And that struggle has been one of the main instruments in Darwinism&rsquo;s intellectual collapse. In the 1970s, the level of people believing in Darwinism stood at some 90%, while today Turkey has the lowest level of belief in Darwinism in the world.&nbsp; Adnan Oktar&rsquo;s more than 100 books on the subject of the theory of evolution, dozens of web sites and documentaries based on his works and hundreds of articles and newspaper announcements have of course had a great influence on this. All these activities have led to public awareness of the invalidity of Darwinism.&nbsp; 

Mr. Oktar's works and scholarly activities have elicied an enormnous response, not just in Turkey but across the world. Leading Western scientific journals have described Adnan Oktar as an &ldquo;international hero&rdquo; on account of his work on the subject of Darwinism.&nbsp; The Atlas of Creation, one of his most recent works, in particular has been instrumental in causing panic among European and American Darwinists, and this magnificent book has been referred to as &ldquo;a book with an earthquake effect,&rdquo; &ldquo;a book exploding like thunder&rdquo; and &ldquo;a book that has stunned the authorities&rdquo; in the Western press. 

One subject that Adnan Oktar particularly emphasizes in these works that have such a profound impact and that he frequently refers to in interviews is that all Muslims must play an active part in the intellectual struggle against Darwinism. Adnan Oktar dealt with that subject on its own in his book The Importance of the Intellectual Struggle against Darwinism and frequently reminds Muslims of this significant responsibility incumbent them in interviews with various television channels and newspapers. These statements by Adnan Oktar in which he sets out the importance of the intellectual demolition of Darwinism at first place in order to properly preach the oneness of God and the moral values of the faith are having a greater impact with every passing day. 

Muslim thinkers, scholars, opinion leaders and large sections of the public have turned towards intellectual activities against Darwinism, especially of late. One of the latest examples of this is the book &ldquo;The Debate of Evolution and Creation in 110 Questions!&rdquo; by&nbsp; Prof. Arif Sarsılmaz. The existence of and increase in such activities is a significant development for the Muslim Turkish world and one of the important consequences of Adnan Oktar's 30 or so years of scholarly struggle.



EXAMPLES OF STATEMENTS BY ADNAN OKTAR REGARDING THE NECESSITY&nbsp; OF THE INTELLECTUAL STRUGGLE AGAINST DARWINISM

 


    
        
            Al Baghdadi TV-June 29, 2008
            
            Adnan Oktar: Philosophy is of the greatest importance in this century. The philosophy of Darwinism, Darwinism and materialism, referred to as naturalism by Said Nursi, is the worst idol of this century. THIS GREATEST IDOL HAD TO BE BROKEN. AND WHAT I DID WAS TO BREAK THAT GREATEST IDOL. There was a real shock in Europe. All the foreign press in Europe, France and Italy announced this in amazement and astonishment. Great, clear results were obtained. We can see from public opinion polls that Darwinism has really collapsed in Europe. Thanks be to God. God has made such a success possible. That means that God grants success to scholarly activities if people are determined. We can see that, insha&rsquo;Allah.&nbsp; 
            
        
    




    
        
            Azerbaijan TV-June 11, 2008
            
            Reporter: It is very interesting that to date no Islamic scholar has ever come out and opposed Darwinism and chosen to struggle against it.&nbsp; It is very interesting that not one has done so. Have they regarded it as unimportant, or is it you that regards it as so important? Why do you concentrate on this issue alone? What will happen if everyone give up Darwinism? 
            
            Adnan Oktar: In my view Islamic scholars may not have become involved because they felt they could not defeat Darwinism intellectually. That is the truth of the matter.&nbsp; But I realized I could easily defeat it intellectually. And I have really done so. And how! They have been crushed, and I give thanks to God. Alhamdulillah.&nbsp; What you say is true, this is a theory that emerged in this century and no Islamic scholar has fully engaged in a comprehensive struggle against it in the way I have.&nbsp; There have merely been faint references. Vague mentions. And for that I give thanks to God. 
            
            Reporter: What will happen when there is no more Darwinism, no more theory of evolution, when people no longer believe in it? Will everyone believe in God when no-one believes in Darwinism? 
            
            Adnan Oktar: There can be no vaccuum. Belief will fill it. There is no other alternative.&nbsp; 
        
    





    
        
            MPL TV-April 23, 2008
            
            Adnan Oktar: That is the most crucial matter. MUSLIMS ARE GENERALLY UNAWARE OF THE SOURCE OF THE SCOURGE. IN OTHER WORDS, THERE IS ACID RAIN, BUT WHERE DOES IT COME FROM? FROM THE AIR? THIS ACID RAIN, THIS SCOURGE COMES FROM DARWINISM. Wherever Muslims are oppressed.... If there were no Darwinism there would be none of these forms of corruption. &nbsp;
            
            MPL: Is that where this corruption starts? 
            
            Adnan Oktar: Of course, of course. Darwinism lies at the root of World War I, World War II, communism, fascism and all the terror at the moment.&nbsp; Darwinism is the main philosophy of Freemasonry. If you take away Darwinism, Freemasonry will be left up in the air. Communism will disappear. There will be no sense to fascism. 
        
    







    
        
            
            
            
            
            Samanyolu Haber, 4 September 2008
            
            &nbsp;&ldquo;Scientific answers to your questions from the Creationist front&rdquo;
            
            
                         
            
            Haber 3 web site, 27 August 2008

<title>THE IMPACT OF ADNAN OKTAR'S MESSAGES OF FRIENDSHIP AND BROTHERHOOD: RELATIONS WITH ARMENIA ARE IMPROVING</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=10478</link>
<description><![CDATA[ In his books and articles, statements in the press and at all other available opportunities, Adnan Oktar emphasizes the importance of friendship and brotherhood and stresses that all forms of dispute and other problems can be resolved immediately through love and dialogue.&nbsp; In recent television interviews in particular he notes that through the Turkish-Islamic Union friendship will prevail across the world, and that to that end Turkey and Azerbaijan must unite as two states, one nation. Adnan Oktar states that such a unification will be instrumental in bringing goodness and enlightenment to the whole region particularly in countries such as Armenia, Georgia and Russia, and goes on to describe how the various problems between Armenia and Turkey can be solved. He also states that the Turkish nation harbors no feelings of hostility toward anyone, that events of the past are best left in the past, that the 21st century will be an age of love and peace, that the Turkish nation has forgotten and forgiven the unfortunate incidents that happened in the past, and that the nation must treat its Armenian neighbors with love, tolerance and forgiveness.&nbsp; 

There have recently been very positive and welcome developments between the two countries, of exactly the kind described in the statements by Adnan Oktar. This became even more apparent during Turkish President Abdullah Gul's visit to Armenia. The way that the Armenians never referred to the so-called genocide during his trip, the way the lights at the so-called genocide monument were turned off, the way the Mount Agri logo was removed from the Armenian national football team&rsquo;s shirts, and the way an official iftar meal was given for President G&uuml;l and his retinue are all very excellent developments. Current events also indicate that these positive steps will progress still further and that historic events will soon take place in the region.&nbsp; 



ADNAN OKTAR&rsquo;S DESCRIPTION OF THE TURKISH NATION&rsquo;S ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE ARMENIANS:




    
        
            &quot;THEY ARE ALSO OUR BROTHERS; let us live in the midst of one another.&nbsp; Our commercial, artistic, scientific and cultural activities should be interconnected. We need each other in art, science, technology and all fields. Why should we live separately from one another? Let us found universities together, let us establish factories, and let us found scientific centers. Let us found universities in Armenia, and let Armenia found universities here.&nbsp; Let art and science flourish. The days of iron curtains, stone walls are over. They must be torn down.&rdquo; (Azerbaijan Respublica TV-September 2, 2008)
            
            &quot;The Armenians are our brothers. They are also very dear to us, insha&rsquo;Allah. Armenia will also takes its place in the Turkish-Islamic Union, insha&rsquo;Allah. They are making themselves unhappy over nothing. WE REGARD THEM AS BROTHERS. WE REGARD THEM AS FRIENDS. Insha&rsquo;Allah, they will also assume their place in the loving arms of the Turkish-Islamic Union.&nbsp; They will live in peace. Their security will be established. Insha&rsquo;Allah, our Armenian brothers will be willing and happy to open up that Lachin corridor.&nbsp; This gesture on the part of Armenia will cause us to love the Armenians even more, insha&rsquo;Allah. They will pull back from Nagorny Karabagh, but they will come to Turkey in return for this, and they will come to Azerbaijan, and will do business and settle there as they wish. Let them be free to worship there as they wish. But there is also an unhealed wound. There is the closure of the Lachin corridor, the occupation of Nagorny Karabagh, and these are unnecessary... There is no hatred of Armenians in Turkey. Our Armenian brothers rose to the highest, most key points in the Ottoman Empire. Some of the best-known artists and doctors were Armenians. They are the People of the Book. They are our immaculate brothers. There is absolutely no need for such concerns. They may be hurt by things that happened in the past, but there was a war going on; Armenians and Muslims slaughtered each other. But we forgive them... WE HAVE FORGIVEN THEM, AND THEY MUST NOW LET IT GO. THERE MUST BE BILATERAL RECONCILIATION. THERE IS FORGIVENESS IN ISLAM, AND ALSO IN CHRISTIANITY. LET US LOVE ONE ANOTHER.&rdquo; (Erzincan TV-July 14, 2008)
        
    





Adnan Oktar, who says that the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union will be a positive progress for all the countries in the region stated: 





    
        
            &quot;This power will not work against them. It means greater wealth for Russia. It means greater wealth for Armenia. It means brand new factories and facilities in Armenia and Russia.&nbsp; It means Armenian oil, Turkish oil, Turkish minerals being sold to Armenia or Russia, and a great increase in all the means at their disposal. Markets and trade will expand. Militarily, the risk will decline because Turkey has a friendly attitude toward Russia, not a hostile one.&rdquo; (Azerbaycan Gazete 525-August 27, 2008)
            
            &quot;Armenia will be rich and more at ease as a result of this. At the moment it is poor and weak, industrialization is weak and they are not relaxed. The problems in |Armenia have been going on for a long time.&nbsp; As a result of Turkish unification with Azerbaijan, Armenia will be many times wealthier than it is now, and much more at ease. Because Turkey will invest there and Azerbaijan will invest there. European investors will invest there. Armenia will be unrecognizably wealthier and more advanced, and will develop to its fullest extent in terms of industry, art and science.&nbsp; That is what Armenia wants, too. The unification of Turkey and Azerbaijan poses no threat to Russia and Armenia; it rather represents a system that will eliminate any threat and bring them security.&rdquo; (Azerbaijan State news-August 14, 2008)

<title>SIGNS OF THE PEACE THAT TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION WILL BRING TO THE MIDDLE EAST HAVE BEGUN APPEARING </title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=10477</link>
<description><![CDATA[ The concepts of love and understanding represent very important effects of the Turkish-Islamic Union described by Adnan Oktar. Mr. Oktar has for years been setting out in detail in his books and articles the way that peace will come to the Middle East, and has frequently described, especially of late, how Muslims should regard Jews and how peace and justice can be brought to the region. As Adnan Oktar says, only through the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union can the difficulties and suffering of the Palestinian people come to an end, can Israel&rsquo;s doubts and fears be resolved, and can all communities,&nbsp; Muslim, Jewish and Christian, live together in joy and security in these holy lands, the lands of the prophets.&nbsp; Because this union will be one of love friendship and will bring a solution to all disputes in the most just manner and by the most peaceful means. 

In his works and statements, Adnan Oktar describes how the Jews are the children of the Prophet Yakup, how they have the most legitimate rights to want to live in the lands of their ancestors and have the right to do business, worship and exist as they wish in those territories. Muslims and Christians also enjoy all those same rights, of course. These broad lands are big enough for everyone once feeling of brotherhood, peace and friendship have been strengthened, and there will be no need for conflict between anyone.&nbsp; Muslims and Jews and Christians will live as brothers in these lands, just as in the time of the prophets. Discrimination, conflict and trying to remove another group from these lands are both totally unnecessary and totally incompatible with religious moral values. The Turkish-Islamic Union is the guarantee that both communities can live together in peace. This great union will allow both Jews and Muslims to enjoy the days they are longing for.&nbsp; 

Adnan Oktar's statements on this subject have had a major impact on both Jews and Muslims, have been instrumental in softening hearts and have led the way to the taking of peaceful and rational steps forward. One of the most recent examples of this is the significant and positive statements by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, for long known for the harshness of his policies, which ran contrary to his previous remarks and policies. Olmert has said they are in favor of peace in the Middle East and might even withdraw from East Jerusalem is necessary. This is without doubt a very positive thing to say, and even the fact that the subject has been raised by a Jewish politician is a major step forward. 




 

    
        
            
            A STATEMENT BY ADNAN OKTAR ABOUT ISRAEL AND THE JEWS 
            
            
            Adnan Oktar: Why should Israel be wiped off the map? They are the children of the prophets, the children of the Prophet Musa, the children of Yakup. Why should they be wiped off it? They pray to and beseech God in their synagogues. They worship day and night. Let them settle there completely. Let them live in peace and security. Let them build factories. Let us build factories and open facilities there. Let us be brothers. Let us draw close to one another. Let us set tables together. One can eat meat they have slaughtered. One can eat at their tables. One can be friends with them. One can marry their women. What does that mean? It means an interdependent life. What does it mean? It means brotherhood. So there can be no question of wiping off the map, but rather of consolidating the map right.. Many issues will be completely resolved, insha&rsquo;Allah. 
        
    




Vatan, 30 September 2008

There can be no peace without sharing Jerusalem

Let us give those lands back
Let us share Jerusalem






    
        
            Adnan Oktar: The most perfect thing to do is to establish the Turkish-Islamic Union... At the same time there is Turkey&rsquo;s playing the role of older brother in the region, in other words, also striving to protect Armenian interests and to enrich them. The protection of Israeli interests, bringing peace to Palestine, bringing peace to the region, playing the role of older brother in all directions. That is its most urgent duty... The Turkish-Islamic Union will definitely come about in the next 10 or 20 years. Let them say Mr. Oktar spoke about it, let them remember it, I say. Let them note it every year; all right, there will be pain and angst, but these are birth pains, and the birth will be perfect. A wonderful light will illuminate the whole Islamic world, insha&rsquo;Allah. Islamic moral values will rule, and the Islamic world will see the coming of the Mahdi and the appearance of the Prophet &lsquo;Isa (a.s.). We are heading toward a breathtaking civilization, a breathtaking age of happiness. All this pain and suffering are set out in the hadiths. All this pain is described in detail as birth pangs. They do not need to be alarmed. The Turkish world, the Arab world and our other brothers are heading toward a world of happiness and well-being. America is suffering at this. But America will attain peace, and its sufferings will be lifted. Israel&rsquo;s sufferings will be lifted and the whole region will be at ease; It is important that all Turkish nationalists, the conservative and religious section of society, supporters of&nbsp; Atat&uuml;rk, rational leftists, consistent leftists, we all act in the consciousness of this brotherhood. (T&uuml;rkmeneli TV-April 22, 2008)
        
    




    
        
            ADNAN OKTAR: The Turkish-Islamic Union needs to be sped up. It has to be really accelerated&hellip; This will also allow Israel to relax. It will mean the immediate end to all the conflict in the region. Because, as you know, Palestine is suffering; but Israel is suffering, too, and there is the ever-present possibility of a bomb dropping on their heads. Israel lives behind walls. They are literally prisoners. But they have made themselves prisoners. They have locked themselves behind walls. Let us tear those walls down. Let commercial vehicles roll up there. Let busses and lorries go there. Let ships go, let things be made easier by sea.&nbsp; This can happen by love and friendship... (Asia RFA Radio-June 14, 2008)
        
    



T&uuml;rkiye, 30 September 2008

Olmert: We must pull back for peace

Ehud Olmert, who resigned the prime ministry but will remain 
in post until a new government is formed, stated the need to pul
back from the Israeli-occupied territories for the sake of peace... 
Olmert said: &ldquo;We must come to an agreement with the Palestinians. 
It is most imprtant we pull back almost entirely from the 
occupied territories for the sake of peace...&rdquo; 





    
        
            Adnan Oktar: They want it very, very much. They regard it as the only way out. This also means salvation for America, and for China and for Russia. It will also make things easier economically. And terror will completely disappear.&nbsp; Israel will be fully at ease and will have no more problems.&nbsp; Armenia will also be able to relax and an excellent civilization will arise. There are no obstacles to it. Because this is a union of peace, a union of brotherhood, a union of love, not a concept of racial superiority of trying to put other people down. This is a desire to serve. A desire to save all humanity, to serve all humanity. (&Ccedil;ay TV-July 23, 2008)
        
    




    
        
            Adnan Oktar: The Turkish-Islamic Union is urgently needed for the whole region. But this Turkish-Islamic Union does not mean any racial superiority or imply that we are the best. In other words, it will also be very affectionate toward Christians, and toward Jews, and will recognize their right to a good life... For one thing, it will come as a huge relief to Israel. Those people are trapped behind a wall, they are living in a&nbsp; prison and live with the fear of death every day. Palestine is an environment of absolute violence and absolute poverty, and there is no other solution. Neither American intervention nor British intervention can save any of them. The only solution is for Turkey to intervene and play the role of older brother. This needs to happen straight away.&nbsp; (Kordon TV-July 27, 2008)

            Reporter:&nbsp; What will Israel do?
            
            Adnan Oktar: They will also be relieved and liberated; in other words, Israel will be in the Turkish-Islamic Union, under the protection of the Turkish-Islamic Union. This will also be a salvation from the problem of terror and violence. Their walls will be torn down. Israel is currently a kind of prison. It is surrounded by walls on all sides. Those walls will be pulled down. Israel will be relieved and trade with ease in the region. The pressure on it will be lifted. And therefor the Israeli pressure on Muslim states, Muslim countries, will also be lifted. They will enter an age of total peace and security. That is why I say that the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union is the main issue facing the world today. (Al Baghdadi TV-August 5, 2008)

            Daily Hurriyet-July 6, 2008
            
        
    

Turkish President Abdullah G&uuml;l recently met with Azerbaijan&rsquo;s President Ilham Aliyev and Armenian President Serj Sarkisyan in Kazakhstan. This friendly meeting was reported under the headline &lsquo;The Long-Awaited Picture&rsquo; by daily H&uuml;rriyet on 6 July, 2008.

In interviews, Adnan Oktar has frequently expressed the need for Azerbaijan and Turkey to unite as &lsquo;Two States, One Nation&rsquo; and for Armenia to abandon its historic enmity and adopt an approach based on friendship and brotherhood. This objective has recently been reflected in newspaper announcements appearing under the heading &lsquo;Azerbaijan and Turkey Must Unite As Two States, One Nation.&rsquo; These calls and announcements immediately began bearing fruit, and Azerbaijan, Armenia and Turkey were observed to come together in a hope-raising manner. This is of course a most welcome development. For years now, Adnan Oktar has been working hard as an opinion former for the Turkish-Islamic Union, the rise of Islam, and world peace and well-being.






Statements from interviews by Adnan Oktar, the leading proponent of the idea of Azerbaijan and Turkey Uniting as one nation. 


From a press conference for foreign journalists on June 8, 2007 

&ldquo;The Turkic states and Turkey should have united long ago, and this unnecessary delay is still in effect. Azerbaijan is the same as the [Turkish] province of Konya. Turkistan is the same as Eskişehir. It will be most useful for these states to join together under a single roof and become a stabilizing element in the region, following as brothers a policy of love, affection, compassion and humanity as a force that will ensure world peace; and this must not be delayed. If Turkey makes its presence felt in the region then the region in which anarchy and terror are most intense will also achieve peace. In other words, it is vitally important for Turkey to be the leader in the region. The Turkish nation has very excellent, human values. It can serve as a role model for the world in terms of attributes such as love, affection, compassion, hospitality and humanity. It will be most beneficial for people with such attributes to be a stabilizing force in the region&hellip;&rdquo;

From &Ccedil;ay TV interview in January 15, 2008

Presenter: You want Turkey to be a country with its former power, governing the region as in Ottoman times. You want to be a country that shapes the direction of the world. Can Turkey reach that position? 

Adnan Oktar: This is in any case the legacy of centuries. All Islamic countries want this. All the Turkic states want it. Ask Azerbaijan, they want to be under direct Turkish administration. Azerbaijan says the borders with Turkey must be lifted and we should be a single state. 

From an interview with Azerbaycan TV in June 11 ,2008

Presenter:&nbsp; Let us move on to the subject of the Turkish-Islamic Union, which is so important to you. You want Turkey to play a leading role in the foundation of that union. You are working towards that end. Conferences have been held.&nbsp; Now will this be something like in the time of the old USSR or the former Yugoslavia, or what? 

Adnan Oktar: No, no. It will be a union of hearts. In the Turkish-Islamic Union I have in mind, all the states will remain as nation states. All of them. This will be a union of hearts, in other words a union of love, a union of dialog and of shared ideas. For example, taking a joint decision and eliminating terror when it raises its head somewhere. Taking a joint decision to resolve an economic difficulty. Taking a joint decision, for example, to rescue a country in a state of economic collapse. 

Presenter:&nbsp; What are your views regarding Azerbaijan? You know that, as with some other states, parts of Azerbaijani territory are under occupation. There is the area of Karabagh. Before we started our interview you referred to the Lachin corridor. It came as a real surprise to us that you should even remember the name. Because most people do not know it. What do you think on the subject? About the Armenian occupation, their seizing our territory? Then we had the Karabagh problems and the Hocali genocide after that. 

Adnan Oktar: The question of the Lachin corridor has been a source of distress to me for years. It must absolutely be opened up at once. Two states, one nation. For one thing, both parties are Turkish, both parties are Muslim. The difference between them is completely artificial. It is like Ankara being separated from Konya. The separation of the two countries is no more logical than that. The Karabagh question must be resolved at one, by rational negotiations with Armenia. Because it would be in their interests, too. The last thing that Armenia wants is to find Turkey and Azerbaijan lined up against it. That would be the worst mistake. It must regard Turkey and Azerbaijan as friends and seek their support. That is why the immediate resolution of the Karabagh problem and the opening of that road and the corridor are so vitally important. That is the road that establishes the link to Turkey. It is crucial. And not impossible. It can be done very easily. It can easily be done with a diplomatic readjustment. We just need the will.

Presenter: This has not been possible for around 10 years, now. Diplomatic moves are continuing. 

Adnan Oktar: Huge public pressure is required. You have to rouse Turkey, to rouse Azerbaijan, and even rouse Armenia. You have to say let&rsquo;s open up this road. We can support Armenia to revitalize its economy. You come and work here, and we can come and work where you are. Come and work and grow as you like in Azerbaijan. And let Azeris work in your territory. Let this unjust occupation be ended and the road be opened up. Let two states, one nation be formed.

Presenter: In other words, the first step toward the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union will thus be taken.

Adnan Oktar: It is crucial. This is the first fruit.&nbsp; 

Press reports in the immediate wake of the May 29, 2008, &quot;Azerbaijan-Turkey&quot; announcement

Daily Yeni Şafak-July 4, 2008





'Azerbaijan and Turkey, Two Separate States, One Nation'

Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdoğan and Azerbaijan President Ilham held a press conference following their face-to-face meetings and others between their delegations. Prime Minister Erdoğan stated that relations between the two countries in such areas as politics, economics, military affairs, culture, trade and education had been reviewed at the meetings. Stressing that&nbsp; relations between Turkey and Azerbaijan had reached an exceptional level, Prime Minister Erdoğan went on to say that joint projects were an important indicator of the strength of their strategic relations. He described how the two countries were always united at the Organization of the Islamic Conference and how there were examples of this in the European Parliament, and said that the solidarity between Turkey and Azerbaijan was a good example in the Turkic world, as well.&nbsp; Erdoğan concluded by saying: &ldquo;There is never the slightest doubt in the decisions we have taken. This construction will continue in the future. If there is no solidarity between us, then the idea of &lsquo;two separate states, one nation&rsquo; cannot become a reality. We must always make this a reality.&rdquo;

'A Message to Yerevan'

ERDOĞAN: We shall henceforth act jointly with Azerbaijan for Upper Karabagh, which is under Armenian occupation. Visiting Nakhchivan on a one-day trip, Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan met with Azerbaijan President Ilham Aliyev. At a press conference following face-to-face meetings and discussions between their delegations, the two leaders issued a message of unity for the Karabagh region under Armenian occupation. Erdoğan said: &quot;We want the Upper Karabagh question to be resolved within the framework of Azerbaijan&rsquo;s territorial integrity and in a manner compatible with the principles of international law. We shall continue to support this matter with the same determination in the future as we have in the past.&rdquo; Prime Minister Erdoğan said the solidarity between Turkey and Azerbaijan was a fine role model, and concluded: &ldquo;If there is no solidarity between us, then the idea of &lsquo;two separate states, one nation&rsquo; cannot become a reality. We must always make this a reality.&rdquo; 

From an interview with T&uuml;rkmeneli TV in&nbsp; April 22, 2008

Adnan Oktar : &ldquo; Not a day must be lost in setting up the Turkish-Islamic Union. We need it now. It will be in everyone&rsquo;s interests, NATO, the EU and the whole world. It will be beneficial and advantageous in all respects. But it is essential that Turkey be its leader.&rdquo;

Daily Akşam-June 5, 2008





'Two Separate States, One Nation'

Erdoğan and Aliyev issued &lsquo;solidarity&rsquo; messages in Nakhchivan. Erdoğan said the following at a joint press conference following his meetings with Azeri President Ilham Aliyev:

- THE CAUCASUS MUST FINALLY BE SORTED OUT: We share the same views as Mr. Aliyev on the subject of co-operation for peace, stability and well-being in the southern Caucasus. The resolution of the Upper Karabagh problem in the framework of Azerbaijan&rsquo;s territorial integrity is the most pressing matter that we also wish to see resolved. 

-&nbsp; TURKISH SOLIDARITY: The solidarity between Turkey and Azerbaijan is a role model in the Turkic world. If there is no solidarity between us, then the idea of &lsquo;two separate states, one nation&rsquo; cannot become a reality. We must always make this a reality. Aliyev also said the Turkish and Azeri policies were &lsquo;completely in harmony&rsquo; on all subjects. Aliyev said that a meeting of this kind in Nakhchivan was of the greatest importance, and concluded: &lsquo;Because Nakhchivan is the only region lying on the land border between Azerbaijan and Turkey. Turkey played a major role on behalf of Nakhchivan when it was besieged by Armenia in the crisis period during the 1990s.&rsquo;  ]]></description>

<title>THE IMPACT OF THE ATLAS OF CREATION CONTINUES: TONY BLAIR HAS BEGUN TEACHING RELIGION AT UNIVERSITY</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=10014</link>
<description><![CDATA[ From the moment of its arrival in Europe Adnan Oktar's Atlas of Creation, has been instrumental in a huge cultural revolution taking place there. Darwinism has been forcibly imposed on European society for some 150 year, people have been all but totally prevented from even thinking about opposed toagainst Darwinism, and huge efforts have been made to prevent the public seeing the true face of Darwinism by means of great intellectual pressure.&nbsp; However, these endeavors that have occupied Darwinists for the last 150 years lost all their effectiveness literally overnight when the Atlas of Creation arrived in Europe, and the Darwinist spell over the continent was lifted.&nbsp; The rapid turning toward religion among intellectuals and leading thinkers in particular is important evidence for this. 

One such person is former British Prime Minister Tony Blair. A former socialist and someone who made almost no statements about religion and spiritual values before, Tony Blair has recently begun issuing joyful statements about his belief in God and telling people of the importance of religious moral values. He set up the Tony Blair Faith Foundation and has issued statements saying that religious moral values would become very important in the 21st century. Blair, a convert from Protestantism to Catholicism,&nbsp; is also noted for his positive thoughts regarding Islamic moral values and Muslims. The Atlas of Creation, which intellectually demolishes Darwinism, has clearly had a major impact in this change in Tony Blair, who says he has read the Qur&rsquo;an and given copies to friends.

&nbsp;
 
ADNAN OKTAR&rsquo;S VIEWS REGARDING TONY BLAIR'S CHANGE OF MIND
&nbsp;


    
        
            
            Adnan Oktar: The really big impact in Europe came after this Atlas of Creation, in other words, my book the Atlas of Creation gave rise to the really stunning effect. It provboked great reactions in France, Germany and Italy. It evoked really enormous responses. It had an especially positive impact on the intellectual section of society. It greatly accelerated the turning toward religion.&nbsp; Christians, people of Christian origins, began becoming truly religious. These are very excellent developments. From the Atlas of Creation I sent to Tony Blair, for example. One report says, &ldquo;Blair encourages religion to assume a greater role. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair has called for religion to be given a central role in seeking to resolve the world&rsquo;s problems.&rdquo; Faith, in other words, belief in God. Another says, &ldquo;Tony Blair is dedicating his life to religion. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair says he will devote the rest of his life to increasing inter-faith dialogue.&rdquo; These are statements made in the wake of the Atlas. Again, &ldquo;Tony Blair is calling on faith leaders to resuscitate the world&rsquo;s conscience.&rdquo; His words.&nbsp; &quot;Protect religion and help it become a force for good.&rdquo; All Blair&rsquo;s words. The Atlas has had a very, very positive impact. And not only on him. French President Nicolas Sarkozy is the same.

            Adnan Oktar: But most asgtonishing developments took place in Europe following the arrival of the Atlas of Creation there. Sarkozy, for instance, was someone who never mentioned religion or Islam. Tony Blair was a socialist, a leftist who never even said the word religion. Unbelievable changes have taken place and the French press have written openly about this. We saw in the press how he was profoundly influenced by my works and how Tony Blair was similarly affected. In the Guardian, Tony Blair says, &ldquo;Protect religion and help it become a force for good.&rdquo; Again after my book we read: &ldquo;Tony Blair has called for religion to assume a cedntral place in the resolution of the world&rsquo;s problems. He said it could awaken the conscience of the world...&rdquo; Very profound changes have taken place, masha&rsquo;Allah.&nbsp;&nbsp; These are all very splendid developments, thanks be to God. Intellectuals are not resisting in Belgium and the rest of Europe. That is very good. There are some still holding out, but the numbers of those who have given in is very high. We can see that they have given up from opinion polls showing that the level of people not believing in Darwinism stands at 80%. Separate polls have been conducted. Separate ones have been performed in Germany, for example. And in Holland. This is a huge figure, a total reversal of the case previously when 80% believed in Darwin and 20% did not. Now 80% do not believe in Darwin; 80% believe in creation... (Mersin TV-September 5, 2008)

            The Scotsman / 4 April 2008
            
            In the address, on faith and globalisation, Mr. Blair called for religious faith to be rescued from extremism and put at the centre of solving the world's problems. He said that in an increasingly globalised world, the role of faith was &quot;especially important&quot;. Religion could &quot;awaken the world's conscience&quot; and help achieve the &quot;millennium development goals&quot; of eradicating poverty and hunger.
            The Tony Blair Faith Foundation, founded by Tony Blair, says on its web site:
            
            The issue of religious faith will be of the same significance to the 21st Century as political ideology was to the 20th Century. In an era of globalisation, there is nothing more important than getting people of different faiths and therefore cultures to understand each other better and live in peace and mutual respect; and to give faith itself its proper place in the future. &mdash; Tony Blair

<title>THE LIGHT OF THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION WILL ILLUMINATE EAST TURKESTAN</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=9695</link>
<description><![CDATA[ In recent statements Adnan Oktar has imparted the welcome news that the Science Research Foundation (BAV) and the Foundation for the Preservation of National Values would be making a great cultural offensive for the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union and for all Muslims in difficulties to attain peace and security. This cultural activity, including informing and educating the public on such matters as the importance and urgency of the Turkish-Islamic Union, the kind of union it will be, and the solutions it will bring to existing problems, has already begun to have an effect. In addition to crucial developments taking place in the Caucasus and the Middle East, the question of East Turkestan, which had for a long time been almost entirely forgotten, has once again begun being raised in the Turkish press.







An interview given by Adnan Oktar in 2008 to the the East Turkestan Asia RFA radio station contained the following statement:




    
        
            Asia RFA: You mention this in your book Communist China&rsquo;s Policy of Oppression and East Turkestan, but since 1949 China has executed millions of Muslims among its own citizens, but when we look at the media what we see is the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Afghanistan and later Palestine. Work out how many people are being killed every day. But the most painful thing today is the thousands of people in East Turkestan executed and including just for writing books or poems. Tens of thousands of people, but the world is silent. Why?
            
            ADNAN OKTAR: EVERYONE WHO FAVOURS THE IDEA OF THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION SHOULD MAKE A HUGE OUTCRY ON THIS SUBJECT. WE WILL BE STARTING OUR OWN WORK IN THAT REGARD IN THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WE BEGAN WITH AZERBAIJAN. IT IS NOW THE TURN OF EAST TURKESTAN.... (Asia RFA-June 14, 2008)
        
    




In the last few months, both Adnan Oktar&rsquo;s statements on the subject and also announcements issued in various newspapers on the subject of East Turkestan by the Foundation for the Preservation of National Values, of which he is honorary president, have begun to bear fruit. The press have again begun carrying stories regarding East Turkestan, and the Turkish public have started being made aware of the troubles and sufferings of their brothers in those lands. This information again raises the issue of the urgency of the establishment of the Turkish-Islamic Union and accelerates the steps being taken on that road by means of it. By God&rsquo;s leave, it will be through the Turkish-Islamic Union that East Turkestan achieves well-being and enlightenment. With the foundation of the Turkish-Islamic Union, both East Turkestan and China will be able to breathe easy, and tension, fear and doubt will give way to peace, love and prosperity. The Turkish-Islamic Union acting as guarantor will also strengthen relations with the milions of Muslims living in China. An East Turkestan emotionally ties to the Turkish-Islamic Union will clearly also be in China&rsquo;s interests.



    
        
            Adnan Oktar: Go to East Turkestan, for instance, and you will see delightful people there. There are highly virtuous, pure Muslims there. Women or young people, they all possess immaculate Islamic moral virtues. Muslims have degenerated in many places, but not there. When we go to Turkistan, for example, we are amazed at the immaculate, well brought up people we meet there. Communism has had the exact opposite effect. And that is a blessing from God. They have remained quite spotless. They have been insulated. Nobody has been able to damage them. THE UNION WILL BE A VERY PURE ONE, AND IT LOOKS AS IF CAN EASILY COME ABOUT WITHIN 10 OR 15 YEARS. (Asia RFA-June 14, 2008)
        
    

&nbsp;


Timeturk news portal site, 23 September 2008

&ldquo;What is going on in East Turkestan?&rdquo;





    
        
            Adnan Oktar: China should let East Turkestan go, should let its people live in freedom, that it keeps killing; about people being killed just for looking up to the sky or down on the ground. This oppression is something that not even someone totally devoid of conscience should be capable of. China is doing this and belittling itself before the world. It is disgracing itself. It is disgracing everything. It is disgracing its own state and nation, and must stop doing so. It must think about this and do these things from a conception of honesty, of rationality and of proper behaviour. It must withdraw from East Turkestan and leave it as a free country. Then you will see how the world opens up to China. Turkey will adopt a most excellent view of it. Workers from Turkey will go to work in China, and others from there will come here. It will adopt a totally different line. But there will always be anger in the nation&rsquo;s heart so long as this open wound continues to bleed. Many people, many businessmen for example, do not go to China to do business because of that hatred. Who would willingly go to a country that kills so many people, that commits so many murders? Everywhere is full of human blood. You will have to wade through human blood to go anywhere there today. No Muslim can wade through human blood. They must clean that blood up. They must put a stop to these killings and this oppression will be lifted. Let them allow East Turkestan to be democratic. Secular. Let it take its place in the world as an independent country. China will be enriched many times by that. It must not imagine it will lose out by it. It will gain prestige, not lose it. This is not something to be made a question of pride. (Asia RFA-June 14, 2008)
        
    



&Ouml;nce Vatan, 23 July 2008

&ldquo;China is applying &lsquo;state terror&rsquo;.&rdquo;

&nbsp;


Vakit, 13 July 2008

&ldquo;Chinese oppression in East Turkestan continues: 
2 Uyghurs have been executed and 15 imprisoned&rdquo;





    
        
            Adnan Oktar: This needs to be made clear to the Chinese state in the most appropriate terms possible. China may perhaps imagine that this union will be to its disadvantage. But it will benefit China, save it, in all regards. It will save it in military terms, and protect it from any external attack. It will also save it economically.&nbsp; The Chinese people are still struggling, and this will enable it to modernize. I see in the papers how the people are still living in places resembling barns. They are desperately poor. Those people will live in much greater ease. CHINA SHOULD SUPPORT THE TURKISH-ISLAMIC UNION FOR THE SAKE OF ITS OWN PEOPLE. This is not a colonialist or selfish union. It is a union of love and friendship, a union of solidarity and toleration, of moderation, built on a basis of secularity. In other words, it will be grounded in secularism, and this is most important. If it is secular, peaceful and a pro-democratic system, there is no reason for China to be worried by it. This may be more through the work of civil society organisations if China is to be convinced, of course. But we will be putting in some considerable activity in that direction in the next few days. This is an idea that will free China from those unnecessary fears and enable it to abandon these classic policies of state. Because in classic state policy whatever you do there is somewhere of benefit to you and you go and invade it. You crush the inhabitants and live there yourself. But there is no need to suck blood in order to live. You can do it with love and friendship. It is unbecoming of China to live by sucking blood. (Asia RFA-June 14, 2008)
        
    




    
        
            Adnan Oktar: This is a sign that the time for the liberation of East Turkestan has come. We must make the very best use of this period. Because East Turkestan is home to the world&rsquo;s most immaculate Muslims, and perhaps its best behaved people. It is somewhere inhabited by the most insulated, select people. I have witnessed this for myself. It is therefore crucially important that these people be freed from oppression, a matter of honor for the whole world. It is a debt of honor for the whole world. This Turkic state has to be freed from Chinese hands. It is unacceptable for China to interfere in it. Let East Turkestan live freely as a state in its own right with its own means. If China wants to trade it can go and trade with it. There is no question of East Turkestan attacking China. So what does China want? What does it gain? If it wants to gain something, that can be commercial. So let East Turkestan and China trade together. Nobody will let it colonize it, however, and what other meaning can taking a country captive have? What does China want from East Turkestan and what does it stand to gain by making it a captive? What happiness can that bring it? What joy will that bring to its heart? What victory is that? It must withdraw from East Turkestan completely. Let the people who live there be free to go to mosques and factories. Let them talk freely and enjoy religious festivals once again. China must now do a good deed there. The time has come. China must stand up and admit it has made a mistake. This country is one that deserves independence. There was no need for us to intervene. There was no point and no logic in it. This is unacceptable in the 21st century. We are withdrawing our troops. And we are lifting our political pressure. The whole world will love China when it announces it is a free country. Everyone will respect it. China must commit this good&nbsp; deed. (Asia RFA-June 14, 2008)&nbsp; 
        
    



T&uuml;rkiye, 7 September 2008

&ldquo;One upon a time East Turkestan had a state&rdquo;

&ldquo;They are strangers in their own home, pariahs in their own land: 
but once there was a stare there&rdquo;

&ldquo;Goods are imitation, torture is genuine&rdquo;







    
        
            Adnan Oktar: China has to abandon this Cold War mentality. If it withdraws from East Turkestan it can enter into good agreements with it. They can be given even more petrol, even more electricity. Nothing will put them in a difficult position. The sale of electricity, oil and energy to them is something that Islamic countries already want. That will be to their advantage. They can be sold cheap if necessary. China may want oil, or electricity or natural gas, but there is no excuse for oppressing millions of people and keep them captive. This can be by way of bilateral agreements. It can make an agreement with Turkey, for example. China can sign agreements with states. All the Turkic states can combine together to reach an agreement with China on the subject. We will satisfy all your needs regarding natural gas, electricity or oil. But you must lift your hands from these immaculate people. That is the question; a 50-year agreement could be reached, for instance. And petrol could really be sold. The petrol that China wants. (Asia RFA-June 14, 2008)
        
    




    
        
            Adnan Oktar: We shall make intensive efforts for the freedom of East Turkestan, the Turkic states and the Islamic world, but there is one very pressing matter. That is the unification of Azerbaijan with Turkey, because they are in the most appropriate position. &hellip; But after that East Turkestan is most pressing. Because it is a prisoner. The horror of imprisonment needs to be placed at the head of the agenda. Because the priority must be wherever repression is at its most fierce. And that is where the priority now lies. &hellip; The issue therefore needs to be raised and put before the public, by way of the press. Public pressure will wear China down.&nbsp; We will be working to force it into a corner in the days to come, in the major press, with full-scale announcements, in editorials and in television reports... (Asia RFA-June 14, 2008)
        
    



Once Vatan, 13 July 2008

&ldquo;China has executed 2 Uyghurs from East Turkestan&rdquo;





    
        
            Adnan Oktar: Culture is what is needed. We need to raise a top-quality generation. Highly devout, aware, anti-Darwinist, anti-communist, anti-Marxist, highly intelligent professors, scientists, doctors, lawyers, China cannot withstand that force. In other words, there is an irresistible force &ndash; culture. China will be bent in half in the face of that. Let them attach great importance to culture. Let them visit my web sites and read all of my books, which can be downloaded for free. Let them read them all and be made really conscious. Let them look meaningfully into China&rsquo;s eyes. China will pull back. It cannot stand up to it, China is not strong enough. No power can withstand culture. You say the Sun has risen. Someone else says he does not believe you. So you lift the edge of the curtain and let it fall again; it is all over with in a second. If there are a hundred people there, they will all be convinced straight away. If the young people of East Turkestan who have fully absorbed the fact that Darwinism does not exist and who have become expert at telling people of that in a beautiful manner, can spread that message wherever they go, then East Turkestan will become a bastion of steel. Then what if Chinese troops strolled there, skipped along there? They would be like a bird riding on the back of a lion. The matter is turning East Turkistan into a lion; even if it has four crows riding on its back it will still be a lion. It will go wherever it so wishes. The bonds of brotherhood must be strengthened, no concessions must be made when it comes to culture, and their immaculate state must be further reinforced. And that is how things must continue. (Asia RFA-June 14, 2008)
        
    



Vakit, 7 September 2008

&ldquo;The communist Chinese regime has stepped up its oppression: 
Ramadan bans in East Turkestan&rdquo;
&nbsp;



&Ouml;nce Vatan, 9 August 2008
&ldquo;They want to annihilate the &lsquo;Muslim Uyghurs&rsquo;!&rdquo;





    
        
            Asia RFA:&nbsp; In conclusion, is there anything you would like to say to the people of East Turkestan. What message would you like to send them?
            
            Adnan Oktar: They are very dear to me, my dear brothers, whose liberation I have been praying for ever since I was a child. And I am striving for them. Inshallah, the next 10-15 years will be years of liberation. Inshallah, all captive Turks and captive Muslims will be freed. Let them prepare themselves very well. Let them increase their awe of God. Let them raise their cultural levels and their faith. Let them increase their love and fear of God. Let them prepare themselves as anti-Darwinists. Let them learn al the frauds and hoaxes of Darwinists. Let them visit my web sites and look at them. Let them intensify their love for one another.&nbsp; They must be on their guard against degeneration. They must strongly defend their national culture. And let them not get involved in anything else. Inshallah, their liberation is close at hand. (Asia RFA-June 14, 2008)

<title>ADNAN OKTAR'S WORK IS BEARING FRUIT: FRIENDSHIPS ARE BEING BUILT IN THE MIDDLE EAST</title>
<link>http://us1.fmanager.net/api_v1/productDetail.php?dev-t=EDCRFV&amp;objectId=9655</link>
<description><![CDATA[ 








Adnan Oktar's statements along these lines have very quickly started to bear fruit, and steps have been taken towards the building of more amicable relations among communities that have been at loggerheads for many years. The most striking of these was the way Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad met with Jewish clergymen on his recent trip to New York and issued messages of love and friendship.

In his works Adnan Oktar describes how Muslims and the People of the Book (Jews and Christians) are friends and brothers, and how that friendship will bring peace to the Middle East and to the world. In his book A Call for Unity Adnan Oktar writes that Christians, Jews and Muslims all believe in the same God, believe in and love the same prophets, and all believe in the angels and Doomsday, and that there is therefore no reason why they should not be friends. In his statements he also concentrates on the need to treat Jews and Christians with affection and compassion. As that love and affection spread, all the disputes and conflicts between cultures in troubles parts of the world, and especially in the Middle East, will come to an end, and peace and security will prevail.









 

Adnan Oktar's statement to Azerbaijan Respublica in early September




    
        
                         Adnan Oktar: Faith groupings are of course possible, one may feel closer to people who share one&rsquo;s own beliefs, and that is quite normal. But this is not something to weaken the bonds of brotherhood.&nbsp; For example, WHEN I SEE A JEW I GO UP AND EMBRACE HIM, and I embrace my Christian brother when I see him... 
        
    







    
        
            
            
            
            




            
            
            



             
            
            Statements by President Ahmadinejad at a meeting with Jewish clergymen in New York on September 25:
            
            
            
            &quot;ALL WHO TRULY FOLLOW THE TEACHINGS OF GOD&rsquo;S MESSENGERS ARE ONE ANOTHER&rsquo;S BROTHER AND THEREFORE OUR MEETING TODAY IS A FRATERNAL ONE. ... If the teachings of prophets are followed, war and enmity will seize to exist... The Prophet of Jews is among Allah&rsquo;s arch-prophets, and Muslims and Jews have co-existed peacefully in Palestine and other regions of the world for centuries.&quot;

OTHER STATEMENTS BY ADNAN OKTAR ON THE SUBJECT


    
        
            
            Adnan Oktar: It makes no difference, we are all brothers. That would be to feed the enemy. It would be to feed the unbelievers. That is inappropriate for a Muslim. But, among other things, for exapmle love and affection are very important for a sincere Christian and a sincere Jew. IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE ALSO ENTRUSTED TO US BY GOD AND THEY ALSO BELIEVE IN THE SAME GOD. THEY LOVE THE SAME PROPHETS. A SPIRIT OF AFFECTION TOWARDS THEM IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT. Some people look with envy and hatred. That is incompatible with the Qur&rsquo;an. It is incompatible with the Sunnah of our Prophet (saas). Jews lived totally at ease in the time of our Prophet (saas). Christians lived totally at ease... We can eat their food. We can marry their women. You can go and sleep in their homes. One can talk to them. They are also servants created by God. That is the form in which God has created their destiny. (Iraq Al-Baghdadi-August 5, 2008)             
                        
        
    

 



    
        
            
            Adnan Oktar- I like Christians very much. I like Jews, too. As a result of our activities in Israel, for instance, young Israelis came to believe on a large scale. Judaism is now much stronger in Israel.
            
            
            Reporter- Can we deduce from your books that you are a supporter of Judaism?
            
            
            Adnan Oktar- Of course, I want a Jew to be a good Jew. I want him to be devout. I want a Christian to be a good Christian.&nbsp;And I want a Muslim to be a good Muslim. I want churches to be full of Christians, and synagogues to be full of Jews, and mosques to be full of Muslims. I want everyone to love God and to realize that He exists. (Spain, El Siglo-June 11, 2008)&nbsp;
            
            
            
        
    




 
  
  
 






















    
        
            
            Adnan Oktar: I have always felt love and affection for Christians and Jews. One can go to dine with them, visit their homes and THERE ARE ALWAYS BONDS OF FRIENDSHIP WITH GENUINE, HONEST CHRISTIANS AND HONEST JEWS... I have never been an anti-semite. Jews are descended from a prophet, are a holy race. They are descended from the prophets Abraham, Joseph and Isaac (peace be upon them all). I have always felt love and dialogue and joy towards Jews, and I feel a desire to protect them. I reject enmity and opposition towards them and wage an intellectual struggle. It is atheist Zionists I am opposed to. Unbeliever, faithless atheist Zionists. That has been my belief throughout my struggle against their actions and ideology. Otherwise, my love for devout Jews is obvious, and I also harbor a joyous love for Christians in the same way. The way they love God, love the Prophet Jesus (peace be upon him) and love all the prophets is most excellent. (Aksam-April 23, 2008)
