Bigots assume the dajjal to be Hazrat Mahdi (as) and vice versa. Dajjal sheds blood, he resorts to violence, he is merciless. Dajjal wants bigotry. Dajjal demands superstitions. The system of the Mahdi, on the other hand, does not allow bloodshed.

Bigots feel ashamed of Allah’s provisions. A person who dislikes Allah’s provision is a disbeliver.

The society has become faithless not because of the activities of disbelievers but, notice that, because of the activities of bigots.

The reason why a bigot opposes Hazrat Mahdi (as) is his being anti-bigoted. They are against him because he eliminates their superstitions.

Hazrat Mahdi (as) is the person who crushes the heads of savage bigots in the ideological sense. He is an anti-bigot.

Bigots have the power to transform the true religion into a totally different form. That is why it is a blessing that Ataturk came out against bigotry.

Women are highly elevated in Islam. But when you have bigots, women are not valued at all. Bigotry equals misogyny, the hatred of women.

The true Islam is that in the Qur’an, of which the way of the Mahdi speaks. It is what Rasulullah (saas) speaks of, the Islam of the time of the Companions. Without that, the way is open to bigotry.

Bigotry is a false religion that drowns itself, a satanic way of thinking that looks only to destruction. The bigots lose the essence of true faith and become bogged down in details.

They (the followers of the dajjal) are preparing public opinion for a worldwide slaughter of Muslims. The way of the dajjal is busily preparing public opinion. They are creating a lot of fanatics and supporting bigots. But we will wage an intellectual struggle against that.

Extremists will oppose Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) because he uses knowledge to break extremism.

Extremists secretly hate our Prophet (saas).

The religion is very beautiful, Islam is very beautiful. There is no allowance for bigotry.

A bigot is both pitiless and, because he asserts he acts in the name of Allah, he silences the other party. That is why he is very dangerous.

Scientific truths cannot be covered up with Darwinist superstitions.

What does the bigoted mindset do to make people alienate from religion? They complicate the religion. That is a very sly plot of the satan. When they complicate the religion even though it is really very easy, people start thinking that religion cannot be practiced and give up. Actually living by religion is really easy.

Religion is a magnificent structure in which welfare, love, beauty, peace, goodness, forgiveness, democracy, freedom of thought and the most sophisticated, most beautiful aspects of arts and science are displayed. Some people ensnarl religion and alienate people from religion unnecessarily. That is the way they serve the antichrist (dajjal).

When there is a weakness in faith, Allah scorches the world and does not give happiness. That was the reason for the collapse of the Ottomans, that was also the reason for the collapse of Seljuk Sultanate. When a bigoted structure develops, when a conservative structure develops, when arts, science, love decreases, when people become estranged from the spirit of the Qur'an, disasters assuredly follows.

In the Qur'an, Allah says that our religion is as easy as the religion of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). Allah says; "Allah desires ease for you; He does not desire difficulty for you." Some people try to make religion difficult; they try to show things that are not in religion as if they are. Allah has made religion easy, He has relieved people of heavy loads and chains around them. Almighty Allah says this about our Prophet (saas) ".. those who follow the Messenger, the Unlettered Prophet, whom they find written down with them in the Torah and the Gospel, commanding them to do right and forbidding them to do wrong, making good things halal for them and bad things haram for them, relieving them of their heavy loads and the chains which were around them. "

The superstitions told by bigots do not constitute the religion of Islam, they are the religion of idolatry.

When Darwinism is taught as a scientific fact instead of superstition in the text books, the existence of Allah would be rejected –May Allah forbid- thus faith would be annihilated. We look at the biology text books and see that there is nothing against Darwinism. That is not acceptable. The invalidity of Darwinism should be explained with scientific evidences.

The prayers (salat) should be performed immaculately just like it is described in the Qur'an with great sincerity. There is nothing complex. You perform your prayers joyfully, lovingly and peacefully. Trying to complicate the prayers is a satanic behavior. Satan attempts to turn it into something complicated so that people abandon their prayers.

People have an incredible tendency to believe in superstitions. That is really surprising. And some of them, even though they do not believe, they insistently pretend as if they do believe in them.

What does purification mean? There are some unnecessary redundancies; they are cleaned and thus purified. What would Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) be doing? He would be purifying. How would he do that? He would clear Muslims from the superstitions of radicals. He would clear the plots of the satan. What is left behind? Pure revelation.

The more attacks are made on a Muslim by hypocrites, disbelievers and immorals, the more zeal and enthusiasm he experiences.
