Jihad: "Jahd" means striving. These people, however, understand jihad as chopping people up. Instead of chopping up that person, would it not be better if you try to persuade that person, if you persuade that person with your ideas? When you chop that person up you would be annihilating that person, he would not have the opportunity to be a Muslim! Yet if you preach religion, if you tell them about God, they would come to believe.

Violence begets terror, violence begets horror and by doing so you would be playing into the hands of irreligious people, into the hands of persecutors. Irreligiousness spreads in places where there is violence. Religion spreads in peaceful environments, in loving, compassionate environments.

You will see that ISIS will soon pledge complete allegiance to Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Look, I am saying this out loud; ISIS will soon pledge complete allegiance to Mahdi (pbuh). This is a fact that our Prophet (saas) foretold.

 - 
Muslims are advocating the strongest idea in the world right now and they are in their most determined period. Fascism, communism, capitalism, all such ideologies have collapsed. Only the way of Islam is open right now.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
The danger of fanaticism is a danger that concerns the whole world but the struggle against radicalism cannot be done with bullying. There is another option; a struggle with opinions that would yield results very easily.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
We call the dominion of an understanding of intense compassion, mercy and love originating from religion, from love, compassion and mercy that protects both Christians and Jews and irreligious people, the system of the Mahdi.
 (A9 TV; September 17th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
It is not possible to become a universal state in any way other than the way of the Mahdi. That is because in the system of the Mahdi, there is love, peace, brotherhood and all these concepts are enticing. Egoism, ambition, racism, religious discrimination have no place in it. There is quality, decency, kindness, beauty and cleanliness; there are all sorts of pleasantries. Anyone in the world who is called to something like that would accept it.
 (A9 TV; September 17th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
Being a universal state can only be possible with a devotion to spirituality. That is to say, if you would step up as a movement of the system of the Mahdi and have sound evidence that is really shaking and persuasive, you would have Almighty God's help and then you would be able to do that.

The main characteristic of Asia is that a lack of quality rules in Asia. Human life has no value in Asia. I am not saying this about everywhere in Asia, but in general they regard people as machines. Turkey's European, loving, modern way of faithful thinking, full of love for God, will put away this dreadfulness. We will be a role model for the whole world.
 (A9 TV; September 17th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
Asia might have some beautiful aspects but it also has many dark aspects. The powers that prevail in Asia are generally like the mafia. We belong to Europe, to European civilization. We should not be drowned in radicalism, in fanaticism, in the darkness of Asia.

Adnan Oktar
 - 
If you idolize the one you love, if you ascribe them as a partner to God - may God forbid-, if you assume that the one you love has an independent existence, God would take that person  away from you. But if you see your loved one as a manifestation of God, God would not take away that manifestation from you. Separation is a punishment for idolizing the loved one.
 (A9 TV; September 16th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
If you approach the one you love with faith and with the Qur'an; if you base your love on the love of God; if you approach that one with the affection God gave; if you see him/her as a manifestation of God, Almighty God would not take that manifestation away from you.
 (A9 TV; September 16th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
If selfishness, a lack of love or being invested only in self-interest engulf a society, the notion of brotherhood would seem odd for them. They would say; "What brotherhood are you talking about? I am rich and I want to be away from you all. I do not like poverty and the poor!"
 (A9 TV; September 16th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
No one should be using the language of conflict. The human soul is inclined both towards anger and towards love; the human soul is inclined both towards laughing and towards crying. Laughing should preferred every single time. Love should be preferred instead of hatred every single time.
 (A9 TV; September 16th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
Islam is an amazingly beautiful system. If the youth could learn about it properly, there would be not one person left in Turkey that wouldn't embrace Islam.  Yet they fail to understand; they  imagine that hanging people, chopping up them is acceptable in religion, that their freedoms will be seized, that they will not have fun, that there will be no place for music and art in their lives. Actually these are all lawful blessings. Religion is being wrongfully explained.  There is no such system. The system of the idolaters brought all those in.  There is no such system in Islam.
 (A9 TV; September 15th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
A political party that embraces Bediuzzaman and Süleyman Hilmi Tunahan would be embracing our people. One that would assume an attitude against them would, in a way, be struggling against our people and our people would then assume an attitude against that political party.
 (A9 TV; September 14th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
99 percent of Turkey is on the reasonable path Ataturk shown. This is how it had been ever since the Ottomans; Turks have never embraced radicalism.
 (A9 TV; September 13th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
Our hunger and thirst is for religion. Religion means peace, it means beauty. We live for friendship, brotherhood, goodness and love.
 (A9 TV; September 12th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
Other than the system of the Mahdi, there is no intellectual system that could defeat an ideology like that of ISIS. They should show us if there is.
 (A9 TV; September 12th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
Turkey should take all sorts of military, politic, scientific and intellectual precautions and conduct all such studies thinking that "The PKK would certainly attack, they would certainly revolt!"
 (A9 TV; September 11th, 2014)


Adnan Oktar
 - 
They have the intention of dividing the world into two poles:  Muslims and anti-Muslims. And they are thinking of a horrible war. That is what they call Armageddon. The system of the Mahdi will resolve that scourge.
