ADNAN OKTAR: If we look carefully we can see all the signs. We can see all the developments. We are now in 2010, for instance there comes 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014... A year is a long time, not a short term. They will constantly hear about the system of the Mahdi (pbuh). But they will hear it ever more increasingly. They will hear that the evidence for it is growing ever stronger. It will develop to a greater extent. They will also begin to see that the system of the Mahdi (pbuh) is love, friendship, brotherhood, peace, justice, ease, security, modernity, quality, goodness and beauty. For example, when the system of the Mahdi (pbuh) was described during my childhood, one thought of men with swords on horses and blood everywhere and that miracles come to happen all the time. Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) was described to be like in the films, fantastic ones where supernatural events occur. Similar things would happen they would say. But it is not like that. The system of the Mahdi (pbuh) will grow in a very rational and moderate manner.

It will be like this; people will begin to admit the reasonable nature of Islam, its beauty and conception of love in the meantime. And the whole world will espouse this. In other words, Islam will gradually stop being equated with terror. But let me also say that terror will increase during this time in continuity. It will continue until the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Because Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) is the solution to terror. They talk about what they call Islamic terror, though there is no such thing in Islam or the Qur'an. There is just a conception of terror stemming from Marxist thinking. They will see that this entirely disappears, but it will only be resolved with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Apart from that, neither America, nor Russia, nor Europe nor other Islam countries can find a solution to terror. It will continue apace and carry on growing. But there will be a definite and absolute solution in the time of the system of the Mahdi (pbuh). The matter will be totally resolved. Because moral values of Islam obligates all to pay allegiance, to respect and obey Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). There can therefore be no such conflict and strife.

But they will claim, "We can solve it." You will see. [They will say] "We will hold meetings and make speeches." For example, Putin says, "I will find a solution and eliminate terror entirely." What does he mean? He is probably referring to military operations. Military operations mean an increase in terror, or acts of violence and bloodshed, many times over. In other words, violence breeds violence. Terror gives birth to terror. Blood brings more blood. This is not the answer. The solution is reason, faith, love and affection.

Of course one wishes incidents of this kind never happened. Because I feel huge sympathy for our Russian brothers. The Russians are lovely people. They are a nation that has long been a friend of the Turks. But the Chechens are also very dear to us. Our young sisters, children and Muslim brothers there are suffering severely. They have been in a wretched state for years. We need to find a path for reconciliation. But it is very difficult to find a compromise in this intermediary stage. This is something that will only be resolved with Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh) will resolve it in a moment. He will settle it right away. But it will be very difficult using the other way of reasoning. Because it is very likely there will be an operation against the Chechens, a counter-operation. And there will be another huge incident as a result of it, so the dead-end will persist.

The best answer is for all Muslims to beg Allah for unity and togetherness. To pray for the formation of the Turkish-Islamic Union. The Turkish-Islamic Union under the leadership of Turkey and the Turkic world is the absolute solution. It will put a complete end to the matter. Everyone can grasp that. There is nothing about it difficult to comprehend. But I imagine things will be prolonged if they pretend not to understand.
