Excerpt From Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Kayseri TV, March 17th, 2010
PRESENTER: Have you heard about the statue set up in a fair in Spain? A Muslim is praying below, and there is a Christian on top. There is a copy of the Injil before the Muslim, and the Torah is on top of it. Then there is the Qur'an and the Torah is in the middle in Christian's hand. They created a clash of faiths. I don't know exactly, but is there any appearance of unity there? That image attracted various comments, but at the same time many Muslims criticized it. I did not find it all that moderate, either. And not just from Muslims.
ADNAN OKTAR: There are such defective, irreligious types of people. But it may say they are Christians on their official documents. That man is, excuse me, but a classical maniac. There are such people who smoke pot in the morning and snort cocaine at night. And he says he is an artist. He makes a statue or draws a caricature, for instance something ape-like, but that is actually himself. He says, may Allah forbid, "This is a picture of the Prophet (saas)." Then many deceivable people ask, "How would you draw the picture of the Prophet (saas)?" What on earth are you talking about? Our Prophet (saas) was a radiant, extremely handsome, lovely, and a perfect human being. That drawing has nothing to do with the Prophet (saas). How can anyone talk such words about the Prophet (saas)? Can one ask, "Why have you drawn a picture of the Prophet (saas)?" The man has simply drawn himself. He is free to do that, to draw himself or his relatives. What is that to you? Isn't that right? He can draw his car, or draw himself. Let me describe the picture of the Prophet (saas): He has long, black hair, down to his shoulders. He has broad shoulders like a lion. His eyes are black and he has a small nose, with the middle part slightly curved upward, insha'Allah. He has thick lips, and immaculate, white teeth. He has a brilliant face, or a pinkish-white, leonine. Radiance flows from his face and his hands, his entire complexion. That drawing does not resemble him in the slightest. Yet that gullible man makes a claim of that picture. Look at that naiveté; I am not using a harsher word because he is a Muslim. But would anyone make such a statement? People are so blind when they do not look for the right direction, and they are all disappointed in the end. They do not listen to reason.
