From Mr. Adnan Oktar's live interview on Adıyaman Asu TV, 14 June 2010
ADNAN OKTAR:There, the Jews, our Jewish brothers, have been suffering that oppression and pain for years. They are constantly being denigrated and insulted. They cannot worship in comfort. They have no comfortable environment there, and neither do they have a normal social life. For one thing, they and we share a dream; it is an ideal for all of us, to build the Temple of Hazrat Solomon(pbuh). That for instance would never happen on its own, because it is the King Messiah, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), who will do that. If they say, "There is no need for that, we will do it" then, and let me be explicit, Allah will cast a scourge on them. There is no other alternative. Let me state that openly, insha'Allah. It is the King Messiah(pbuh). He will build the Temple of Hazrat Solomon(pbuh), in all its glory and beauty. He will tear down all the walls. Jews will fully be able to perform their observances in the perfect sense, as ever they wish. They will be as free as birds. The whole region will be under their feet, by Allah's leave. Everywhere. They will be able to go wherever they please. They will go to Egypt and Jordan and come to Turkey. Let them set up home everywhere and live wherever they choose, but that will be under the administration of the King Messiah, Hazrat Mahdi(pbuh). They say, "We want to have the state." My brother, that way the state will be yours. The state is the Messiah himself. The Mahdi (pbuh) himself is the state anyway. If you obey him, you would be obeying the state anyway. The state of Israel means the King Messiah, the Mahdi (pbuh). He is the state himself. If they say, "There is a state above the Messiah" then they do not really believe in the Messiah. If they say, "Who does the King Messiah, the Mahdi (as), think he is?" and if they say, "we have our own state, we have our own administration above his," then you cannot be a Jew. You cannot be one of the People of the Book. You would be declaring a war against the Torah. The King Messiah described in the Torah is the state in person. He is the state. When you obey him, you would be obeying the state. Your ideal would thus become a reality. Your ideal of thousands of years would come true. Allah accepts your prayer in this way. The Mahdi (pbuh) embraces the whole of the line of Abraham(pbuh). The region, the whole region, is Allah's promise to the Prophet Abraham(pbuh), to the sons of Ishmael, the sons of Ishak, the sons of Jacob, the sons of Aaron, the sons of Moses and to them all. The whole region. It therefore belongs to all Muslims and Jews. It is a holy region. And look, Allah's promise to them for over thousands of years will thus come true. If they say, "No, we will do it in our own way" then they will suffer no end of hardships, I can tell you that. This will be realized through obedience to the system of the Mahdi (pbuh). What would a Jew want? You want to live as a complete Jew, isn't that right? You will live just like that. You want to travel all over the Promised Land, right? You want it to be yours. Everywhere is yours, go wherever you want. You want to become a state in that region, right? You are the state once you obey the King Messiah, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). I repeat; the King Messiah, Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), is the very state. He, himself is the state. This is according to Judaic belief. If a person is honest, if he abides by the Torah, that is how it stands. Allah promises the region to the Prophet Abraham(pbuh). "To your line, to those who follow you, to those who believe in you," He says. We love the Prophet Abraham(pbuh). And that means that Allah has given us that region, the entire holy land, He granted that to us, Alhamdulillah. At the same time, He has given it to the sons of Jacob(pbuh), to the people of Israel(pbuh). It belongs to them and to us, to all of us. Under whose leadership it will be? It will be under the leadership of Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh), of the King Messiah. They will all acquire all those lands, and prosperity, freedom to worship, liberty, the state and all the rest. But that is only if they are completely obedient.
