ADNAN OKTAR’S KAÇKAR TV LIVE INTERVIEW (January 22, 2009)

REPORTER: Why is anti-Semitism a kind of racism that is totally against Islam?

ADNAN OKTAR: We have love towards descendants of prophets, we feel affection for the Prophet Abraham’s (pbuh) sons. Our Prophet (pbuh) is from the Prophet Abraham’s (pbuh) lineage and so is Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Abdul-Qadir Gilani as well as all great imams is descendant of Prophet Abraham (pbuh). That is why we cannot have any enmity or animosity against the lineage of prophets. That could only have a place in an evil mind and in evil thoughts. We are against atheist Zionism; otherwise we love devout Jews with great compassion. We also feel affection and have love for them because they are the lineage of the prophets. In that sense we may have no opposition or animosity towards them that would be unlawful and it has no place in Islam. On the contrary there is protection, shelter and kindness in the Qur’an and we are obliged to act that way. They will surely practice their religion as they like and that is the same for Christians also, and we may only have positive involvement in that respect, not a negative one.
