From Adnan Oktar's interview on March 1, 2010.
CIHAT GUNDOGDU: "Family structure is falling apart by the day, as a feature of the End Times. One of the latest examples of this emerged with a statement made by the singer and actress Lindsay Lohan. This young artist, still only 23, admitted that she used alcohol, cocaine and other narcotics because of family problems. On one occasion she overdosed on sleeping pills and fell into a coma, only being saved with difficulty. She has gone into rehabilitation three times at this young age. The reason why was her father telling their family secrets to the press. What do you think about these things that a young girl of just 23 had experienced?"
ADNAN OKTAR: Lindsay Lohan is a very pleasant young girl. For one thing, this person lives in a world where there is no true love. Love, like oxygen, is one of people's greatest needs. One cannot live without love. In the absence of love, a young girl will become depressed and fall ill. But not false love, of the kind that some rabble use when they say I love you and send messages like that over the internet. Using his number 3 gaze on her. Those just makes the poison worse, hurts even more. That is because there is no love in them. Their aim is to take her and use her. To use her fame, money and body. They regard her as garbage that he will dispose his waste. They regard her as garbage, and there is no love in them. So when the soul sees lovelessness everywhere a tumor grows within it and become depressed. Look, one's parents should be the people one trusts most. Family secrets should be carried to the grave. But you see there is no such thing as family secret any more. People are quite capable of openly discussing all kinds of information that may be embarrassing to a young person. But the root of the matter, of course, is the lack of love and fear of Allah. In the absence of love and fear of Allah, true love and passion disappear. All that is left is the love of flesh and bone. They applaud her, but all you hear is the sound of bones clapping. Applause is only meaningful if it stems from love. Flesh and bone clapping together is not relevant. She cannot be happy if people regard her as a piece of flesh. Not can she be happy if they just regard her as a source of entertainment. A person needs to really be loved. Depression starts when they cannot find love. You look at someone who says he loves you, and he loves you for your money or your figure. Grow a bit old, and that person will be disgusted and want to get rid of you. Or when a woman gives birth, and women's bodies always undergo major changes when they give birth. Or 99% of them become less attractive. Many people immediately try to get away from them. Take a young girl of 20. By the time she reaches 30 she will collapse during those 10 years. A young girl cannot withstand it. Cigarettes and lack of sleep also play their part. But the thing that really brings people down is lack of love. The man then immediately sets about looking for a younger girl, and nightmarish things happen to her. Because 10 years go by really fast, in the blink of an eye. Then she is suddenly 40. And everything is over for her. That is why a secret drama unfolds in such a world. And that is Lindsay Lohan's problem. She is one of those people who experience that pain. Whereas as if she knew true love and affection, if she were watched over and protected, she would always be healthy and happy, and she would never use drugs or suffer such pain. The great majority of celebrities use drugs. Because they are all lonely. People regard them as just a source of entertainment, the majority of them. Or some people do so. This is a very sad thing. The inability to find love. Give people a chance, and they immediately try to bring them down. If they fall ill, it is used against them. Their pictures at once appear in the press, if they look pale. People say, "Look what they have come to." A picture appears of them with their hair all in a mess, and they use that against them. Or they trip up and fall over. That is portrayed as something utterly humiliating. Or they run into someone on the road, and a huge fuss is made. Or something escapes their lips, and they then use that against them. These people cannot be happy in such a world. They can't be happy because they cannot find the true friendship. That is why this poor girl is unhappy. The compassion shown by the parents is terribly important. Real love is very important. But most important of all, is submission to and seeking refuge in Allah. Insha'Allah, Lindsay Lohan will also seek refuge in Allah and submit to Him. Insha'Allah the truths of the Qur'an will work their way into her heart. And Allah will then protect and watch over her, and give her comfort insha'Allah.
