Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Kanal Avrupa dated June 13th, 2010
PRESENTER: Actually we all are very lucky. We are lucky because you have the kind of personality in which you value people, your Muslim brothers and the people of the community you live in, and watch out for them.
ADNAN OKTAR: Masha'Allah. May Allah be pleased. I do feel for them of course and I feel affection for them too. Of course they do have points that they are in the right in their own eyes. They listed those and said "this is the situation". They talk about it at length, saying such and such are the reasons. It appears that if I do not explain them these things from the Torah, they won't be able to feel at ease. Moreover they have even been offended, saying "Was it supposed to come to end like this? Were we to end up like this?" And they also said things similar to these. We said there is nothing that has come to an end. They have adopted such an emotional language. Insha'Allah. They want the Turkish-Islamic Union. For instance they came to me and said, "Let all the control of Palestine be handed over to you, to Turkey, would you accept that?" They said: "If you can get your government to agree to this, we have already told our government to do so". In other words, they said their government is looking at it in a positive way, looking favorably at it. I mean they said, "You should have complete control over Palestine," meaning it should be under Turkish control. They have already discussed this with their Prime Minister. He said that it is acceptable, that it is possible. He said it was logically possible. They now want to talk about this as well. Of course that is not up to me, at the very best I would write a letter to the government and the state, tell them about the situation and ask what their opinion on this is. The state, the government, will decide what it decides, and we would have no say on it, of course. But it is very sad for both sides. They are also the People of the Book, they are also entrusted to us by Allah. Our Muslim brothers are also entrusted to us by Allah. Look at the causes, there is nothing important. I mean, it would be so easy to calm things down. They are in fear for their own lives. They say they don't want guns and bombs being brought in. That means they say they do not want incidents and bloodshed. All right my brother we would say, leave it all to us, we are giving 100 percent guarantee that there will be no bombs and guns, etc. "Just open the border crossings," we would say, it is as easy as that. "If the smallest thing happens, come to us about it," we would say, I mean just for a single incident. All right, they say. Then you give us that guarantee and you take over the control, they say. By Allah's leave we would do so, it is possible.
PRESENTER: They have great trust in you.
ADNAN OKTAR: Not in me, but they have trust in the nation, in the state insha'Allah. They are just making us a mediator, an instrument, insha'Allah.
PRESENTER: But I think, the way you approach things from a neutral perspective has a huge effect on this. You are really inside the nation and the state, and you can criticize both sides most effectively. You very explicitly give voice to the mistakes of both sides. You are totally neutral. This inevitably constitutes trust.
ADNAN OKTAR: I am on the side of the truth, of Allah. I am on the side of the Qur'an and the Sunnah. That is all I know, insha'Allah.
PRESENTER: Masha'Allah.
