In the Qur'an, God refers to Jews and Christians as the People of the Book and states that it is unlawful to kill them.

Ehl-i Kitap'a gavur denilmez, bu çok çirkin bir söz. Allah Hristiyanlar ve Musevilerin Ehli Kitap olduğunu bildirmiştir.

Jews are the People of the Book, and they have faith in One God. Muslims should approach pious Jews and Christians with compassion.

God commands Muslims in the Qur’an to approach Christians and Jews with love and compassion. Muslims should act accordingly.

God commands Muslims in the Qur’an to approach People of Book with love, respect and compassion.

We used to live together with Jews, Armenians and Greeks as brothers. They are the People of the Book and are entrusted to us by God. Again with the establishment of the Turkish Islamic Union we will insha’Allah embrace all of them with love.

Within the radical mindset there are some people who give a so-called sanctity to hatred towards Jews. Jews are People of the Book, God would not consent their being persecuted.

In Egypt, a policy of compassion should be adopted towards Israel as well. An attitude that would make Israel uneasy is not compliant with religion. Showing compassion to the People of the Book is the command of the Qur'an.

Time will come for the People of the Book to come to believe in the Jesus Messiah altogether, insha’Allah.

Let us embrace our Christian brothers and sisters fervently with love. Our brothers should protect and watch over them everywhere. In the streets, in the malls, they should love and respect them everywhere. They should thus keep their bonds of neighborhood strong. Allah wants us to treat Christians compassionately. Allah wants us to treat the People of the Book compassionately; so we should treat Jews compassionately as well.

We should protect and watch over the People of the Book, we should protect and watch over Christians. We should approach them with compassion. We will altogether annihilate the system of the antichrist (dajjal) spiritually. Hand in hand with the Christians and hand in hand with the Jews, insha'Allah. They also say that "Allah is One".

Israelis are the People of the Book. By forging an alliance with the devout people of Israel, we need to strive to annihilate irreligiousness from the face of this World. Living in peace with the Israelis, living brotherly, friendly with them; backing them up and having them back up the Palestinians would be the best move. And that would be made possible with the Unity of Islam, with the system of the Mahdi, with the appearance of the Moschiah.

It’s wrong to call Christians and Jews ‘infidels’. They are the People of the Book, with whom Muslims are allowed to marry and socialize.

Ruthless enmity against Christians and Jews does not befit Muslims. God teaches that they are People of the Book and they should be shown compassion.

The provisions of the Qur'an are valid until the Day of Judgment. Those who allege that the verses about mercy and compassion have been annulled commit a great persecution. Claiming that the verses about love and mercy had been annulled, some bigots ban approaching Christians with compassion. None of the verses the Qur'an had been annulled. God decrees us to approach the People of the Book with compassion and mercy.

There is no hatred for Jews and Christians in Islam. On the contrary, they are protected as the People of Book in the Qur'an. A Muslim cannot have any aversion neither to them, nor to their places of worship. God tells us in the Qur'an that Muslims may marry Jewish and Christian ladies; indeed, some of the wives of our Prophet (saas) were Jewish and Christian.

It is only natural that there are similarities between the People of the Book and Muslims; they are all divine religions. The Mahdi movement can be found in all divine religions.

God explains in the Holy Qur’an that there are sincere believers among Jews and Christians.

God does not tell Muslims to be hostile to Christians and Jews. On the contrary, God advises us to socialize and have good relations with them.

We love all innocent Christians and Jews. According to the Qur’an they are the People of the Book and are under the protection of Muslims.

Muslims must be intellectual, modern, compassionate and respectful to people from all thought schools and befriending everyone.

Taking the philosophy of Rumi as a basis and destroying other religious communities is a plot set up by the British Deep State.

God deems the traps of those who scheme against the Mahdi movement invalid and makes them serve Himself, Islam and movement of the Mahdi.

Cooperation with Putin, including an economic one is important, but the most important is a military cooperation, which should be formed at once.

Movements of false Mahdis can only be prevented by the movement of the true Mahdi.
