Adnan Oktar A9 TV; July 25th, 2016

On the night of the attempted coup, just after the so-called announcement, we were the first ones to say on live TV that it couldn't have been done with the chain of command by the army; that it was a pseudo-coup.

Those who martyr our soldiers, run over civilians with tanks, or open fire at people from helicopters are the most dangerous people for our country.

There are always great reasons for everything that happens, including this coup attempt. One of them was how it brought people together.

With this coup, God showed the bravery, nobility and altruism of our nation to the whole world.

In the coup attempt, our nation repelled the attack of the British Deep State with their brave stance.

Our people are pious. This was an antichrist attack and our people repelled it with their faith in God.

Our people should be told how to respond when there is a coup attempt or an uprising, they should be told about their legal rights.

The mastermind behind this coup attempt is the British Deep State.

Shooting people with automatic weapons and bombing special forces members is an utter ignominy. This needs to be clearly stated.

In one night God reformed all hearts. He eliminated the classical style in politics in one night. In the history of the Turkish Republic, such a soul of unity is unprecedented.

In the hadith it is stated that the Bridge would be seized by a battalion, that there would be martyrs on the Bridge and some planes coming from the East.

What disturbed our people was the attempt to overthrow the government through anti-democratic means and the way they opened fire on our people. That is outright ignominy.

They are trying to drag us into the traditionalist understanding of Islam. We abide by the Qur'an. We are the enlightened face of Muslims. We are a reasonable, compassionate community that lawfully uses all blessings bestowed on us by God.

We preach and live by a vivacious model of Islam accepted by both reason and good conscience which the people of the world can take as a role model.

In the model of Islam that we preach there is an enlightened, progressive, sincere and vivacious spirit that is hand in hand with the arts and beauty. We preach and live by the Islam explained in the Qur'an.

Some people are baffled to see beautiful, vivacious, high-quality people living by Islam because they don't know Islam. Islam is a system of love, an order of heaven.

We are the only group of enlightened, vivacious, cheerful, moderate friends that embrace and live by the Qur'an in the perfect sense.

I said that the year 2016 would be the year of the intellectual struggle against hypocrites. Turkey has grasped the importance of this struggle.

We showed the beautiful spirit of Islam to all our nation. An enlightened, reasonable, bright conception of Islam is reigning everywhere.

Even in the most tense periods, we suggested that Turkey should offer an apology for the plane crisis and that Turkey and Russia must be friends.

We have explained several times that offering an apology to Russia is compatible with both Islam and our traditions. Turkey did the right thing by offering an apology to Russia.

All my friends strive for God's approval, none of them expect any monetary return.

The reason why my statements make such an influence is because I expound from the Quran and science together with explicit evidences.

There is no violence, terror or intimidation in the system of the Mahdi. Hazrat Mahdi won’t shed blood and won’t even wake up sleeping people.

The British Deep State assumed that President Erdogan was alone; yet they were very wrong. Our people stand by Erdoğan and will not let one of their own be persecuted.
