Muslims live like they are in Heaven also in this world. It is not right to prohibit science, music and art.

Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on A9 TV dated October 7^th, 2011

ADNAN OKTAR: Well my brother, how obsessive these brothers of ours are. Look now he has been asking about music. You've been saying that music is forbidden, painting is forbidden, science is forbidden. And then you turn those wretched people into small fry and have many people oppressed. Without science, without art how are you going to struggle? You've been saying "Beware!" about philosophy. So? Science? "There is no need for science anyway." Art: "Beware!" So what are we to do? Well; "With just enough to keep body and soul together, live in horrible places in sub-ground dwellings. This world is your living Hell. You will be comfortable in the Heaven." For a Muslim both this world and the Hereafter will be like Heaven. Why should this world be a living Hell for a Muslim?

And they are still urging the system that they have been defeated in. You've been defeated with that, you have been oppressed, you've been miserable. You are constantly being humiliated, you are constantly being degraded. You've come to a state that you are no longer able to stand on your feet. And you still are advocating the polytheistic system. They have to leave that. The only solution is to adopt an attitude based on the Qur'an, insha'Allah.
