ADNAN OKTAR: Their stratagem now is this; they look as see Muslim unity. So what shall we do? They ask. Let us create a Sunni-Alawite division, let us set them against one another. That is the most practical method for them. What to do? Let us arrange 3 or 4 fanatics, curs, to incite the nation. And we won’t need to do anything else. Let us set them against one another, then we can eliminate what remains. That is their idea. Muslims ignore those setting up this plan, though they can see them. Some Muslims, that is. There are a handful of Christians and a handful of Jews, but devout Muslims are being oppressed in a great many parts of the world. Let us take Norway, hypothetically. There are a hundred Jews, two hundred Christians and a hundred Muslims. If they support one another nobody will be able to say anything against their prayer (salat) or mosques or minarets. But if they do not support one another they will unite the other two together and crush them, and then set the one against the other and crush them.

What they should say is we permit no hostile words about churches or monasteries or mosques; let us form an alliance, an alliance in the one Allah. Saying that won’t turn you into a Christian or a Jew. To each his own faith. Allah will pronounce in the hereafter, but every faith considers itself to be the true one. It could not be any other way. They are the People of the Book and it is normal for them to think they are in the right. How can we ask them what right they have to think that? That is their belief. That is how Allah has created them. We must speak and argue with them politely and seek to draw them to belief in the one Allah. When the Prophet Jesus comes everyone will in any case be Muslim. But before that, the Prophet (saas) says that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will rule the Jews with the truth of the Torah. The Jews. He will look to the Torah, and rule them with the pronouncements of the Torah that are compatible with the Qur’an. He will look to the Injil and rule the Christians with those pronouncements of the Injil that are compatible with the Qur’an. Jews will still be Jews, and Christians still Christian, in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as)… Does he talk about Hazrat Mahdi (as) bombing them in the hadith?

OKTAR BABUNA: No. He will permit no bloodshed.

ADNAN OKTAR: Does he talk about killing and bloodshed? No. Hazrat Mahdi (as) has a duty to preserve them with love and affection. He will purify their faith and spirituality. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will lead the Christians to believe in the one Allah, but his attitude will not be an oppressive one, not an exclusive one. He will treat them with affection. Bediüzzaman also refers to this. “He will eliminate the dajjal (antichrist) by forming an alliance with Christian spiritual leaders” he says. He speaks of defeat when separated. “Christianity and Islam will be victorious when allied together.” “they will be victorious with the coming of the Prophet Jesus who is in paradise in physical form.” “With his coming,” says Said Nursi. I have taken these quotes from different places, these statements by Bediüzzaman. When the Prophet Jesus appears there will be a complete alliance, but Hazrat Mahdi (as) will oppose the dajjal in alliance with Christians before that; because when divided they are defeated,  but when united the system of the dajjal cannot overcome them. Because the system of the dajjal is united; curs, crazies, masons and all of them are all allied together and protect one another. They protect one another in the press, on the television, on the internet and everywhere. But the division among Muslims and those who believe in Allah is just what the system of the dajjal wants; because it can then easily crush them and strive against them.

Sectarian differences are things that should never therefore exist in Islam. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will do away with this. This is his first task. The second is he will act shoulder to shoulder with the People of the Book. That will produce a huge power. Who says this? Said Nursi says so. Where else can we see it from? From the logic of the Qur’an and the hadith, isn’t that right? It can easily be seen in the matters we read yesterday. Nobody attacks their faith or churches or monasteries. That would be a sin, not an act of religious observance. But they regard it as a heroic action. Look, we have a handful of Christians a handful of Muslim and a huge host of irreligious people. You bomb them, they will bomb you and you will be destroyed. So there is no need for them even to bother with you. They will sit and watch you. What need is there for such stupidity and naivety? Why embark upon such stupidity? How could someone whose moral values are those of the Qur’an do such a thing?

Believers in the oneness of Allah must form and alliance and wage an intellectual campaign against those who deny Him. Once they have been beaten, it is Allah who will pronounce. You will then tell them about it. If they believe, fine, if not, then to each his own religion. There is no compulsion in the deen, insha’Allah. You cannot force someone to be a Muslim. But Almighty Allah imparts the glad tidings that everyone will be Muslims when the Prophet Jesus returns. Little time remains, isn’t that so? In the meanwhile, shaytan is very busy; “Sunnis, go and damage the Shiites and bomb their mosques. Christians, go and attack Muslims. Muslims, go and attack them and the Jews.” This is terribly irrational and all a ruse of shaytan’s. Believers must form an alliance and eliminate atheism, Darwinism and irreligion from the face of the Earth. Then everyone can act according to his own faith, insha’Allah. As brothers and friends, but with no oppressing one another, insha’Allah.
