Muslims bomb their own mosques when either the mosques of the Shia or Sunni are bombed. That is an apparent cruelty.

The souls of certain Muslims have hardened to such an extent that they do not know how to approach one another with compassion and love.

Acting in the name of Islam, they have created a rotting system that shut Muslims away in ghettos. We showed that Islam is life itself. They claimed that Muslims cannot have fun, enjoy life or be modern. We completely destroyed that misconception. Muslims deserve all beauties.

By taking music, science, entertainment away from Muslims, they have developed an introverted Muslim style that has no joy of life. They wanted Muslims to be introverted, insecure and completely deprived of the beauties of life. We foiled that devious plot. To counter the plot to shut Muslims away in ghettos, we kept repeating that faith should be everywhere; in beaches, clubs, etc. They claimed that Muslims are tasteless, crude and don't know how to have fun. Muslims live life to the fullest, deserve the best. They kept women from approaching Islam and tried to insult and oppress them with decrees that have no place in Islam. They made life a living hell not for only women but also for the youth. They created a fake religion where everything is punishable by death. They created such a wrong religious model, people thought embracing Islam would be like hell (surely Islam is beyond this). We destroyed that wrong thinking with the Qur’an.

A great majority of Muslims were, in the ideological sense, defeatists in the face of evolutionists; thus, they started to promote the false idea that evolution exists in the Qur’an.

Hypocrites wait for disasters to befall Muslims, but they end up being the ones surrounded by disasters as punishment from God.

We are focusing on hypocrites, because it’s the most crucial issue in Islamic world. They’re the reasons Muslims are being persecuted.

Trying to scare Muslims with unbelievers is typical hypocrite behavior.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

God commands Muslims to approach the People of the Book with compassion and love, not with hatred.

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

What kind of interpretation of Islam is it if you do not preach to atheists and Darwinists? Who are we meant to command good and forbid evil to? Who are we meant to struggle against? Muslims have a duty to talk about Islam to Jews and Christians, known as the People of the Book, to atheists, to pagans and to everyone, in the kind of language they can understand. That is God’s command. You cannot talk about Islam using hostile language, only through love.

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.

Animosity against Israel is presented as if it is a merit, a sign of piety or superiority. Actually animosity against the People of the Book is atrocious. We love Jews, we love Christians. We are compassionate towards atheists as well.

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.

When the Mahdi appears, despite his senior age, he will look radiant like a young man.
