Christians and Jews are more than welcome to Muslims’ iftar dinners. God says Muslims can dine with Christians and Jews.

The alliance of religious Jews, Christians and Muslims is crucial, just as their love and respect for each other is.

Muslims and Jews should be in a strong friendship and fraternity. Together they need to destroy satan's plots and make an alliance based on their common values.

Christians are very loving people. They need to ally with Muslims and Jews. We should eradicate the lovelessness that pollutes the world.

God encourages Muslims to have close, friendly relations with Christians and Jews.

Jews say that Moshiach (Mahdi) will come from somewhere outside of Jerusalem, that they will wait by the gates of Rum, that is to say, that he will be in Istanbul.

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

The world is preparing for the system of the Mahdi (pbuh) for the last five thousand years. The Templar Knights, Freemasons, and Jews all await the Mahdi (pbuh).

Protecting churches and synagogues is a provision stated in the Qur'an. Being anti-Jew or anti-Christian is not compatible with the Qur'an. We need to approach everyone with love and compassion. No one can know who deserves to enter paradise in the Sight of God.

Some foreign papers claim that I’m an anti-Semite. It’s against the Qur’an to be an anti-Semite. I’m the one who defends religious Jews. During those days when anti-Israeli sentiment was the highest in Turkey, I was the only one who said that the two countries should be friends. I always say Muslims should approach Christians and Jews with compassion. This open display of friendliness is unparalleled among Muslims.

I love Armenians, I love Jews, Catholics, Orthodox, all Christians. I love everyone whom God has created.

Religious Jews are praying to God every morning and every night saying "O Lord, send us the Mahdi/Moshiach." And God deems them successful and protects them.

Jews have been loyal to the Prophet Moses for 3,500 years. Although they have suffered every kind of ordeals they have never forsaken their cause. That is enough to love them.

The existence of the Greek, the Armenians and the Jews in our country are a beauty. They are the ornaments of our country and we consider all of them as brothers and sisters. It is virtually impossible to run into a Jew in any other Islamic country, whereas they should be and live comfortably all around the world.

Both Muslims and Jews are the children of the Prophet Abraham. Turning a blind eye to these fights between brothers is not acceptable.

The irreligious do not promote freedom. Islam promotes freedom. People had no liberties in the era of the Pharaoh and Nimrod, but they were fully at liberty in the time of the Messenger of God (pbuh). Both Jews and Christians were at liberty. Furthermore, they were treated with love, compassion and utmost care. They were under protection in every respect. However, the Pharaoh tyrannized over his people.

According to Jewish sources, in the time of the Mahdi (pbuh), superstitions in Judaism will be eliminated.

According to the Jewish sources, Moshiach, in other words the Mahdi, will mend the whole world, thus people, altogether, will serve God.

We are informed in the hadiths that the majority of Jews will embrace Islam and become Muslims at time of the Mahdi (pbuh).

Neither our Jewish citizens nor Israel should feel concerned; Israel must not call its citizens back.

The fact that Christians and Jews can no longer live in Turkey or in other Middle Eastern countries is dreadful. That must be compensated as soon as possible.

There is the principle of individual responsibility of crime. We would be against anyone who is an oppressor. But enmity towards all Jews and Christians is out of the question.

According to Jewish sources, the Mahdi (pbuh) will resemble the Prophet Moses (pbuh) the most in terms of disposition; and the Prophet Solomon (pbuh) in terms of humorousness.

It is also accepted in Judaism that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul. Ancient Judaic sources relate that the Mahdi will appear in Istanbul.

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.
