Many issues are known erroneously about Sultan Abdul Hamid II era. Cyprus was given to Britain in return for gold. Both in Palestine and other places, settlements for Jews were established during Abdul Hamid II era. Theodor Herzl was backed up during Abdul Hamid II's era, he was included in consultations. It is possible to see this in letters he wrote. Many are unaware of these facts.

At the time of Abdul Hamid II, Jews were settled in 36 different settlements in Palestine. Land sales were made easier and laws were changed accordingly.

In the Qur’an, God commands us to protect synagogues and gives us permission to marry Jewish women. He commands to protect and watch over the People of the Book. In accordance with the Qur’an, by defending inoffensive Jews and protecting synagogues, I am following the commands of God.

Islam is not a religion that is lived in isolation. Neither are Christianity and Judaism. Religion is lived as a community. The Muslims in the Qur’an are altogether and are commanded not to separate. God commands believers not to separate. The intellectual struggle of Muslims is carried out altogether, alms are given altogether, Muslims live by religion altogether as communities.

From 1876, the date Abdul Hamid came to the throne, until 1908, the number of Jews living in Palestine tripled and became 80,000. During this time Zionists bought 40,000 decares of land and founded 36 settlements. During the reign of Abdul Hamid, a major Jewish migration took place to Ottoman lands. The Jewish population which was 150,000 in 1884, increased to 253,000 in 1907. There is nothing wrong in Abdul Hamid’s giving place to Jews to live in Palestine, in Ottoman lands. What is wrong is that they act as if this never took place.

Abdul Hamid sold the Palestinian lands to the Jews and, received gold in return for Cyprus; these are documented by handwritten sales contract. It was only two years after he was crowned in 1878 that Abdul Hamid sold Cyprus. This has no aspect to advocate.

A law was passed in the time of Abdülhamid for the sale of Ottoman lands. they even wanted to sell Iraq, not only Palestine.

Christians act as a community, they have their leaders. Jewish people are the same. But some people want Muslims to be on their own, without leaders.

Some people imagine that the British Deep State only uses some Muslims in the Middle East. Actually they use some Christians and Jews as well.

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

Negotiations between Theodor Herzl and Sultan Abdul Hamid II continued for around six years, during which Jews established 36 settlements in Israel.

There weren’t enough Jews or lands in Palestine for a state, but Sultan Abdul Hamid II passed a law and allowed settlement of Jews in 36 places. During reign of Abdul Hamid II, the number of Jews living in Palestine increased threefold, which is very good.

The reason why the Jews have been putting ointment in their hair for thousands of years is to remember the Mahdi (King Moshiach).

Approaching Christians and Jews with compassion is a path God shows us in the Qur’an.

All societies including Freemasons, Knights Templar, and all believers, including Christians, Jews and Muslims are awaiting the Mahdi.

Moshiach of the Jews and the Mahdi of Muslims is the same person. They have all traits in common.

Israel is waiting for the Mahdi, as well as Evangelical Christians and Jews. This is how they make this impact all over the world. But those countries that are in opposition to Mahdi, are being overwhelmed and in lack of vigor.

The Ottoman Empire has always been very protective towards the Jews. During the WWII, the Turkish Ambassadars in Europe made great sacrifices to protect Jews.

Jews, Christians, Evangelicals are all waiting for the Mahdi’s coming. The Mahdi is a fact in all religions.

Greeks, Armenians, Jews; they are all Turkey's delight. Protecting and watching over them is good morality.

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.

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.

All Muslims, all Jews and Christians have a right in the lands of Israel and Palestine. They should all be able to worship wherever they like.

Christians, Jews and irreligious people will all be a part of the Islamic Union. They will all live in ease and at peace.
