ALTUĞ BERKER: Master Ibrahim Karagul wrote in Yeni Safak daily about the Turkish Islamic Union and said that "Turkey's leadership of Turkish Islamic Union is making America uneasy and that they will start to openly put forth their negative opinion about Turkey becoming a great power in the region and would want to restrain Turkey to Anatolia again. That is because a Great Turkey would wreck all the plans of America."

ADNAN OKTAR: My brother, when we say Great Turkey..  Look, brother Ibrahim is a very nice person, he is a brother of ours whom I know and value. Now saying "it [Turkey] is an imperial state, it is ruling all around, has a military power, has economic power all over the Middle East.. " There is no such thing. That is not what we are saying. That is not what we are talking about and it is not the system that is developing. The model that we are talking about has become the state policy anyway. It is the state policy at the moment. I mean what I have been talking about on the televisions for two years- in fact this has started two years ago, just after I started talking about this matter on television, these points I have been talking about became to be implemented as a state policy. What is the main characteristic of this state policy? It is to constitute a community not based on superiority of weapons, not based on economical superiority; but based on superiority in love and compassion; one that protects and watches over Christians, Jews, Armenians, Orthodox, Catholics and all. But of course it would also be embracing Muslims with a great love because it will be the real power of action. And it would be a system that gathers and brings together the whole Turkic world. Within this system states will be independent and free, democracy will be solid, justice would be solid; democracy and the justice system would work precisely. Love and friendship would be ruling. What does America want? Isn't this what America wants anyway? Consequently there is nothing that America would oppose, would be against in this. Look, let me say this openly; America wants this model. I repeat it; America wants this model that I have been talking about. Russia wants it and America wants it as well. China wants it too. I mean there is no country that would oppose to that. They should not create a specter for no reason. The only thing our nation and the whole Turkish world, the whole Islamic world need to do is to say; "yes, we do want this union" and to introduce the system of the Mahdi with all its beauty and glory. And to pray Allah, for the coming of the Prophet Jesus Messiah (pbuh), for his appearance, insha'Allah. That is it. Look the Turkish-Islamic Union is everywhere; this is the point that America has been talking about, I mean the system of the Mahdi, the Unity of Islam. What is this? It is the system of the Mahdi. The whole Middle East policy is revolving around the system of the Mahdi and all the columnists are talking about the system of the Mahdi. What they are calling the Unity of Islam, what they are calling the Turkish-Islamic Union, Turkey becoming an imperial state, this and that.. when you get to the bottom of what is meant by all this in brief, we come face to face with one thing; the system of the Mahdi. That is because the Unity of Islam would not be formed without the system of the Mahdi. I mean without the system of the Mahdi the Islamic countries would not unite. Iran, Shia Iran would not accept the leadership of a Sunni leader. A Sunni leader would not accept the leadership of a Shia leader and that is it. Under these conditions the Unity of Islam cannot be formed anyway. But both the Shia and the Sunnis would accept Hazrat Mahdi (pbuh). Alevis would accept, Bektashis would accept, Wahabis would accept, Christians would accept, so would the Jews. That is because Christians too are waiting for the Mahdi (pbuh). A person who is carrying a water bearer on his back, Hazrat Mahdi(pbuh). That is the person who will give start to the Aquarius (The Water Bearer) age, a person in the Aquarius (water bearer) age. In the Gospel, it says; "Go and find the person who carries a water bearer on his back, you will find him and follow him." I have said years ago that this is an obvious truth. Look at the moment all the columnists, the whole Turkey, are talking about this. But the name changes. Some call the system of the Mahdi, the system of the Messiah, some call it Turkish-Islamic Union, some call it the Unity of Islam, some call it the imperial foreign policy of Turkey and some call it the regional power; but the name of all, is the system of the Mahdi. I mean the whole issue revolves around this. Look, after I have mentioned this, two years ago, by the leave of Allah, after I have said that the hadiths of our Prophet (saas) would be realized in this respect, see that no one could ever stop the destiny Allah created. The things our Prophet (saas) said are being realized very regularly one by one and it will continue to be realized.
