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.

Quote
Jews and Christians believe in Allah. Of course we love them. And we feel compassion towards atheists as well. Furthermore we, as Muslims, find ourselves to blame and think; "this means that we haven't been able to reach as many people as we should; so we should communicate religion even more, we should preach religion."

Quote
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.
Adnan Oktar

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.

Quote
God granted me the opportunity to write over 300 books which are translated into more than 70 languages. God ordained me to write in numerous papers. If I had chosen to pursue worldly goals, I could have considered a weekly TV appearance sufficient but I devote my whole time to service of Islam. God gave me the honor of intellectually defeating Darwinism, exposing the British Deep State and neutralizing radicalism. The educated and elite part of society had almost completely cut its ties with Islam. We reestablished that bond and now they also serve Islam. We were the ones that effectively worked to end the animosity towards different religions and sects and to rebuild ties with Israel.

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

Jews want the Unity of Islam as well, because they will be very comfortable when the Unity of Islam is established, because they will be living comfortably in those beautiful lands Allah has promised them, because they will be in peace, tranquility and safety and because there is no other time for the King Messiah to appear. They believe that the unity of Islam will be formed simultaneously with the appearance of the King Messiah (Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh)).
