ADNAN OKTAR:  If Muslims are conscious, rational and consistent, and if they love one another very strongly, then the satan will turn into a most pitiful creature and the whole masonic organization will turn into a most unexceptional one. It will be of no importance and have no effects. In fact, the real masonry is the enmity and hatred among Muslims, this is the most dangerous for of freemasonry. It is one of the most devilish works. For Muslims to be suspicious of one another, to look to their own pleasures and to regard their families, children, parents, brothers, school or business as more important that Islam, the Qur'an and striving on Allah's path. This is much more perilous than freemasonry. What can masons really do with such people? If there are such people, then they will act as masons desire with little prompting. They have already gone along with freemasonry. Freemasonry is opposed to religion, and such people have also constructed a secret, hypocritical front. Why do we complain about freemasons, atheist freemasons? Because they hypocritically, look like Muslims, but actually strive against them. Many Muslims do this quite openly, don't they? That means that satan secretly establishes a masonic lodge in every Muslim's home. But one must not abide by that lodge. If they do enter that lodge and are initiated and become masons, then there is no need for them to go to England and join a lodge there, as it will have no greater influence. They have already joined that lodge. They have established a Turkish branch of the lodge in England. A brand new arm. Whatever a person's surname is, that is the name of the new lodge he has founded. If someone says, "Whatever you do, stay away from Muslims. Graduate from school. You can pray, but don't you start preaching and spreading Islam. Stay away from Muslims, and their communities" then he is already serving that end. He says: "I am a Darwinist but I also perform my prayers." "But," he says "if your time is limited and you have to go to school, then you can stop praying." Or else if they say: "You can preach and spread Islam, but if your father or your brothers are expecting you, then you must give the priority to them. So stop preaching and spreading Islam. Concentrate on what really matters. Your brothers or homes are more important," then they have already signed up to freemasonry. That is why the secret masonic temple constructed by satan is very important. Masons are already linked to that temple. Or else their buildings and meetings are not that significant. They summon satan in that building. Atheist masons and the secret lodges in every Muslims' homes issue commands. But if a Muslim has takwa(fear of Allah) he will ignore the lodge's commands. Whose commands will he heed? Allah's commands. He will follow the system of the Mahdi. He abides by the system of the Mahdi. So that lodge, satan's lodge will just blow up in his hand. But those who take the easy route speak against freemasonry, but their actions are in fact exactly what the masons want. In other words, they fear and are suspicious of Muslims and try to keep away from them. They devote all their concentration to their futures, their school, eating and drinking. They devote all their concentration to their families. But our family is actually Islam, the whole Islamic world. I would first consider my family in the Islamic world, in the Turkish world. If someone considers his own family first, if he is willing to give up the whole Islamic and Turkish world family for the sake of his own family, then he has in any case abiding by the freemasonry. There is no other explanation for that. Consequently,  when one looks at people who say, "I don't do that" and see that they are in fact involved up to their necks. Those who deny it are the real problem. For example, if you go to an atheist mason and ask; "What is freemasonry? What do you do? Tell me about it," he will reply: "I try to do good. I help people and espouse moral virtues." Won't he? When you ask a Muslim with a masonic mindset, a member of a satanic lodge, what he is doing;  he will say: "I first think of my 'future.' I am trying to graduate from my school. Then I want to make some money and have a profession. My brother, mother and father are all very important. I am trying to look after them." If you then ask, "But what about the country, the nation and the Turkish- Islamic world?". He will say: "I lack the scope to look after them as well. We just perform my prayers humbly in our own home. We do engage in discussions and argument when needed here and there, or on the bus." He will say, "I do stand up and give testimony when needed in school and that kind of thing." But that is unacceptable. There is an argumentative spirit in human nature. Most people can exploit this for the name of Islam. I mean he can be arrogant and has a feeling of superiority and just to satisfy his ego, he can make use of Islam. I mean the aim there is not to widespread Islam but to be victorious.  For instance, one might have nothing to do with the issue of the headscarf. I mean , one might have nothing to do with the soul of the headscarf, but might fight over the headscarf. It is a great source of excitement for him. I mean he enjoy that conflict. All that fuss and shouting, all that altercation. This also happens in high schools. Some of them take a huge pleasure from protesting. Of course those who espouse the truth are exceptions, I consider the ones defending the truth clean from this, but the spirit of altercation is something different, it is part of human nature. People imagine they are performing a great service in disputing. But the fact is that we cannot serve Islam by irritating people, turning them from us and satisfying our own egos. That is because everything you say inspires hatred. Whereas if he approaches people with love and sincerity and not with the soul of dispute, if he approaches using a modest language and an honest attitude, he can win people over. But when he speaks fiercely, aggressively, egocentrically,  haughtily, looking down on other people with an insolent approach, then it creates an awful hatred and disgust. But he regards it as a victory when other people flee from him. He says, "I obtained really good results. They melted away before me". In fact he actually turns people against Islam. He thus has a damaging effect. He both satisfies his own ego and also has a destructive impact.

But if you put such people in a difficult position, if you ensure it conflicts with their worldly interests, they will instantly prefer their own interests. The important thing is to be someone who espouses Islam and the Qur'an at times of difficulty. A quality person is distinguished at times of difficulty. In good times everyone can step forward.
