INTERVIEWER: Speaking about fascism, you just mentioned Hitler’s fascism. This is an important issue for Germans. Me as a German journalist, I would like to ask you this question. On your website, I read about the evil of holocaust. You also link this to Darwinism, so you condemn the cruelties of holocaust. On the other hand, many years ago in the early 1990s, you published a book about the so-called The Holocaust Lie. What changed your mind?

ADNAN OKTAR: The book, The Holocaust Lie, was by one of my colleagues, Nuri Özbudak. It is not one of my books. He published his own writings under that title. Later we protested against this through the Public Notary and declared the fact to the public. This was the subject of a protest. I did not take any other legal action, but only protested through the Public Notary. I sent the official letter of protest from the Public Notary’s Office to him, because he used my name but published it under his own name. My book expressing my own ideas was published later.

INTERVIEWER: So you never denied the holocaust?

ADNAN OKTAR: The Nazis not only massacred Jews, but a great many other people as well. They committed a terrible mass slaughter. But they also mercilessly killed devout Jews. This is surely the atrocious work of Darwinist fascists. This is a fact. I have provided a detailed account of it.

Jews are the descendants of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh), they are the descendants of the Prophets. They are valuable people. I love Jews very much. That is to say, the Prophets Isaac (pbuh), Jacob (pbuh), Ishmael (pbuh), Joseph (pbuh) and Solomon (pbuh); they are all Prophets and they all come from this particular line. Accordingly, those who attempt to annihilate the Jewish line of descent would also annihilate that of the Prophet Abraham (pbuh). It is unimaginable for a Muslim to remain silent in the face of an action intended to annihilate the line of descent of a Prophet. He will surely take action. I have also adopted a strong line in this regard; I emphatically reject the present pressure on the Jews, the attempts to annihilate them, the acts of all sorts intended to remove them from their country and oppose all similar attempts.
