Mr. Adnan Oktar: A genuine Muslim, a person of faith, would absolutely be against terror

(Der Spiegel, September 14^th, 2008)

INTERVIEWER: Alright. You refer I guess, to his remarks that root of terrorism is religion. I think this is what Dawkins wrote more or less. In contrast, you consider atheism as the root of evil and terrorism.

ADNAN OKTAR: To date, Darwinism has laid the groundwork for Hitler’s and Mussolini’s fascism and Stalin’s communism and communist applications. And when we look at the present day, we see that all the members of terrorist organisations, those that portray themselves as Muslim organisations also, are Darwinists, and atheists. That is to say, a faithful person who prays regularly and worships does not go and plant bombs here and there. It is just people who pretend to be Muslims, those who depict themselves as Muslims, who perpetrate bombings or Darwinists who make it clear that they are terrorists or communists who commit terrorism. Consequently they are all Darwinists. A person of true faith who has fear of Allah, who loves Allah, can neither commit terrorism, nor refrain from describing its horrors. A genuine Muslim, a person of faith, is absolutely against terror and can never accept terror.

INTERVIEWER: It is quite hard to imagine that someone like Bin Laden would ever embrace Darwin and Darwinism.

ADNAN OKTAR: It is not as it seems. You do not see that appearance and style in such people in their youth. I mean, they assume this guise later in their lives. Yet, when their actual faith is scrutinized, when an attentive examination is made of their true faith, the fact emerges that they are genuine materialists and Darwinists. That is because it is impossible for a person with fear of Allah to commit such acts, because of his faith. In other words, his will refuses to permit him to engage in such acts. If he is capable of engaging in them, that means there is a weakness in his faith in Allah, or that he has no faith whatsoever. Most of these people are therefore Darwinists. Such acts are committed by people who were educated abroad, who received a Darwinist education and who internalized Darwinism, but who later called themselves Muslims. When scrutinized carefully, when their speech and writings are carefully analysed, we see that all these people are Darwinists. 

An intellectual struggle against separatist terror is essential

 An intellectual struggle against separatist terror is essential

 Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Adıyaman Asu TV, May 3^rd, 2010

ALTUĞ BERKER: With your permission, I cannot go on without recalling your words about the separatist terror organization. Because its leader says, “I am the Lenin of the present day.”  He says, “Man is just a species of animal.” And you are the only person in Turkey to wage an intellectual struggle against that idea of his. That is why, by Allah’s leave, he refers to you somewhere in his book.

ADNAN OKTAR: Apo, the leader of the separatist organization refers to “scholars from the Ottoman Period” in his book. He says that “scholars in the Ottoman period always guided the state, and there were philosophical scholars and religious scholars.” “Adnan Hodja has now assumed that role, and he is guiding the state” he says. He goes on, “he seeks to support the state and these things happen.” “MIT [Turkish Intelligence Organization] has always had such people” he says. He suddenly makes me an agent of MIT. I mean, it would be an honor to be a member of MIT, and I would happily join it. But I really don’t even know where its offices are. I have no idea where it is. I know its headquarters are in Ankara, but not where in Ankara.

That means that there is a powerful struggle on the intellectual platform between believers and Darwinist, materialist thinking. The two sides know one another. I know them and they know me. They know I will wage an intellectual struggle and support the state. It is very important for me to support the state. The state and the army are vital matters for me and, like all Muslim Turks, I give them my unconditional backing. I will strive with all my might for them to be strong and victorious. I will strive in all ways with all my might, insha’Allah, and it will be an honor for me. But entirely different things have happened in their minds. Their logic is entirely different.
