Excerpt from Live Interview with Mr. Adnan Oktar by Kocaeli TV (4 September 2010)
OKTAR BABUNA: In thepreach of Mr. Bayraktar Bayrakli, the following question comes. "Is it proper to fulfill one's prayer behind an imam who steals wood from the state's forest and build a barn?" And he answers:" Yes. There is no need to be so sensitive." And Mehmet Yilmaz criticized this and said: "As a requisite of the principal of stealing state's possessions is okay as it is infinite; there may not be any harm in this according to Islam. May be it is the reason why some certain people who always talk about religion and the Qur'an, cannot help themselves to keep away from the public purse they dived themselves in." Mehmet Yılmaz also said: "It might be that theft could become more acceptable, that way." He concluded his writing with the words: "I already stated that I'm not an expert in religious issues, I am only making assumptions."
ADNAN OKTAR:My brother, see that Cubbeli, this particular preacher and others, all provide materials to those. They cause great harm to the subconscious of the society in the long term and make the society sick; and they indoctrinate the society, a great majority, against Islam. For instance just yesterday someone was saying; "An Islamic scholar does not touch anything.. " To be more precise.. How shall I put it? Well let me say it like this: he doesn't put his right hand that is holy, on anything that is deemed holy if he previously had touched a bad thing with it. That is, if he has touched something known to be dirty in some way, he does not touch anywhere else with it; he doesn't touch anything holy. My brother what an improper explanation, this is! What an unreasonable discourse it is! First of all, one cleans up with two hands. If he will wash something, he will use his both hands. How can he clean something with a single hand? That man will automatically remain dirty, it is indispensable. It is very difficult with a single hand; one needs to help. That is something that can't be done. For instance he tells this at length in enthusiasm, with his eyes fixed on the sky. And people say, how beautifully he explains. The fact is however, he nibbles the society slowly. For instance Cubbeli's explanations as well, slowly make enormous destruction on the youth and the society. They even do not notice. For instance Bayraktar Bayrakli comes out and he does not even realize but he causes enormous harm. These are very insignificant parts. They say, "if we collect the hair of donkey and make a poplar tree out of it, if we inoculate apple tree into poplar tree and those apples fall on the earth and if they split up into three, can we eat those apples?" That is the extent of their nonsense. What is the relevance here? How do you reach to this point? They ask, if this or that can be made with a dead body? Such disgusting, unusual things. A person, in any case, do not even imagine such a thing. What is the point of raising up such issues?
