Excerpt from Mr. Adnan Oktar's Live Interview on Gaziantep Olay TV dated February 1st, 2011
ADNAN OKTAR: Many of our brothers, our dear ones were martyred in Armenia as you know. Armenian fascists, Armenian communists oppressed them back-then and they martyred them with incredible tortures. Allah will judge those who did those tortures and murders in the Hereafter. But we will judge them in this world as well; if we have the means. They are murderers. We would not say "well done" to such murderers. No one would say that. They will get their return. But what fault do those little clean Armenian children have? What fault do Armenian young women have? What fault do grandmothers have? Why would I feel grudge towards them? Why would I hate them? I do feel affection for them. I pity them and I will protect them. Murderers; you leave them to me. That would not be an issue. I am not saying "Murderers should walk around freely." There are some brothers of ours. They write to me from Azerbaijan. Thanks be to Allah Azerbaijan is alright from one end to the other. It only needs to be called a named in Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan is done, Alhamdulillah. Masha'Allah. It is swarming masha'Allah. Retaliation is a given right. One has the right to retaliate according to the Qur'an. Almighty Allah says "It is better if you forgive." We would do the better one. But we would not greet professional killers by saying "go and wander around as you'd like." Of course, they will receive their response as is due. They will take the exact return. But when you say; "I hate all of the Armenian people" then that would be fascism and oppression. It is not something that a person who believes in Allah and the Book would do. That is the same for Jews as well. We lay hold of whoever does oppression. Clean and decent people..
AYSU BACEOĞLU: Innocent.
ADNAN OKTAR:Of course, Jewish children. What fault does the child have? What fault do young women have? They have never taken part or approached these events. Why would we see them this way? That would be due to spirit of oppression. Normally a Muslim would not have such grievance, such hatred. In justice, we are to know how to differentiate the guilty from the blameless and the innocent from the traitor. We cannot evaluate all people the same. For example let us think about a company; someone became a murderer there. Is the whole company called a murderer? Is it acceptable to say that retaliation is required from them all? That happens in ignorant and crude societies. It happens in the mentality of tribe. This happens in wild societies. For example they do and shoot someone from the village and the other village comes and they massacre the whole village. They would break the windows down, cut and slice children and cut women. There have been many such wild people. Instead of finding the related person and surrender him to justice, they do violence with group psychology and do massacres. Now this does not suit Muslims. This suits oppressors and this is the trait of oppressors. Therefore a reasonable brother of ours would not act in such a way.
"I am an Armenian citizen. Regrettably some scholars did not talk very warmly towards us on television until now. I have many Muslim friends. I studied primary school and university in state schools. Our high school was a little and nice Armenian high school. None of our teachers would ever say even one bad word about the Prophet Mohammed (saas) and Islam. We used to visit the streets of our Muslim neighbors one by one and give away pastries and egg during Easter. During Eid Al-Adha Holiday and Ramadan Holiday, they used to come ring our doorbells. We used to play together on the street." It used to be like this. It was like this in the Ottoman period. He says "We grew up together. I love them all very much. I also believe that the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) will come to Earth again. We also say 'Allah.' When we read your books explaining Creation, we also say that Allah is the Owner of Infinite Power. We are brothers in religion and friends of Allah. I do like your conversations very much. We pray that this artificial environment of tension is lifted off and that we celebrate our holidays all together. We can prepare a table full of famous food cooked with olive oil and nice Armenian food. With respects." Our sister called Nathali wrote this. Now is this not a pity? The man looks at this person with hatred; 'let her be killed, hung and cut.' Look she is in search for love.
AYSU BACEOĞLU: How beautiful wishes she has..
ADNAN OKTAR: Of course, whom did she cut, whom did she sliced, whose home did she swaddle? What did she do? She is an immaculate person. Is this not a pity? And she says "I do believe in One Allah, as well"
AYSU BACEOĞLU: She says "Let us celebrate our holidays altogether."
ADNAN OKTAR: Yes, masha'Allah. Of course, we have a responsibility to show them the beauty, affection and protectiveness of Islam. We will show them compassion, protect and watch over them, visit them when they have someone sick, visit them when they are ill and form a partnership when it is required to set a partnership together. We will marry them if necessary. Allah says "you may marry Christians." Allah says "you can get married to Jews." We will marry, they will be the mothers of our children insha'Allah. Therefore, this policy of hatred needs to be dropped. This is a very big sickness and abnormality. Of course we would want the whole world to be Muslims. Insha'Allah we pray. When the Prophet Jesus (pbuh) comes they will all be Muslims and they will all accept Islam. We regard them all as potential Muslims and approach them with compassion. Approaching with hatred is a very crazy move. And there is no compulsion [in religion]. We explain if they accept, if they do. If they do not accept, we will show affection nevertheless and our protective attitude continues. If they accept how nice, double treat. There is no hatred and no grudge in the morality of Islam. Some ignorant people talk with a manner of great hatred, blood and purulence flowing out of their mouths, just because they will get applauds from here and there and approval of some certain crooked, raving blood drinkers. Saying; "Let's hang, let's cut, let's slice" and whatever. Not just that; they show such a horrible attitude towards Alewites, Bektashi, Jaffaris and the Shia as well. Therefore people think that Muslims are always like this, in this mentality. Great hatred began to be spread throughout the world against Islam. May Allah forbid. It is so in Europe, in America; Muslims cannot even walk on the street anymore. That is all because of a handful of idiots, because of a handful of ignorant bigots. Why would Allah want us to feel grudge and hatred? Where is hatred in Paradise? Is there not love everywhere? Is there not compassion everywhere? Insha'Allah, I will be with Aysu in Paradise as well.
AYSU BACEOĞLU:Insha'Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR: Insha'Allah if Allah grants. With her beautiful face.. Her brother would also be there.. Your relatives and your parents will be there as well insha'Allah.
AYSU BACEOĞLU: Insha'Allah.
ADNAN OKTAR:Yes Insha'Allah. We will all be brothers and sisters there, we will be together insha'Allah.
