REPORTER:   What is your opinion about the communication, the dialogue between religions?

Adnan Oktar: The stipulation regarding the People of the Book is set out very clearly in the Qur’an. And the actions and Sunnah of our Prophet (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) are also very clear. The People of the Book are our brothers. Armenians, Jews, the Orthodox, Protestants, the Christian world in other words, are all our brothers. We believe in the same Allah. Allah is the same Allah in the Judaic world, the Christian world and Islam. There all have the same basic beliefs, for which reason the existence of the People of the Book is a blessing. In other words, it is a great blessing that they are not godless or part of some other heretical movement, but are actually the People of the Book. There is nothing to alarm Muslims in this, it is perfectly reasonable. Because Allah says in the Qur’an that the People of the Book exist. They will do good things and Muslims will do good things. They are people one can live with as brothers, talk with, eat and drink with, and one can even marry Christian or Jewish girls and live an entirely normal social life with them. They are also trustworthy. If a woman becomes someone’s wife, if he has children by that woman and if they live together in the same family, that means a very powerful friendship and love.
