ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KAÇKAR TV (March 12, 2009)

ADNAN OKTAR:The religion of ignorance is a reality our brother encounters in many sections of society. Extreme artificiality, extremely artificial speech, in other words, not being natural. He sees someone, for instance, and starts saying in a very exaggerated manner, “Whereeee have you been?” Instead of this one says sincerely that he has missed that person and thanks Allah that they have seen one another again. This becomes a really candid speech. But he again and again says, “Believe me, I am so happy to see you. You cannot imagine how much I missed you.” Are you trying to convince the other personbecause you lie? They swear they are really delighted to see the other person. What did you expect? Are you supposed to be sad? Of course you will be pleased. But I am talking about these utterly artificial expressions of emotion. This is an unnatural style of speech that makes people uneasy in many sections of society. Of course, there are also people who speak honestly. And that comes as a great relief to people. Such people say what they think, from the heart. But with an artificial person, one just wishes he would stop talking. That kind of talk is really difficult to put up with. If someone you talk to is very annoying, you can be sure he is from the religion of ignorance. But if one listens to him very happily and easily, if his presence puts one at ease, then he does not live by the religion of ignorance. I can cite that as a very certain and definite measure, insha’Allah.

ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KANAL 35 (IZMIR (February 14, 2009)

You know the kind of people who are really artificial, who use mad gestures and speech as if they were on the stage or reciting verse, for instance, and adopt a really false mode of behavior and put on a very awkward show, that is the kind of bizarre style people adopt while talking about religion. But people who look carefully and are able to check their memories understand immediately what is happening. These people adopt a very strange style, roll their eyes around and do other things, as if one needed a special form of behavior to talk about religion, as if there was a light sound track playing in the background, the tune of a flute or an end-blown flute. What need is there for all that? Religion is evidently the reality itself.

Someone who is really having a nice time wears a particular expression. But these people are not happy. Not all, but majority of them, put on a big show and pretend to be happy. That is a very painful thing.

ADNAN OKTAR’S LIVE INTERVIEW ON KRAL KRADENİZ TV (JANUARY 16, 2209)

Now, let us suppose you are watching the television, and they show you delightful views with animals and plants that are very lovely. But two people are constantly talking. A man and a woman are talking, gossiping using ugly gestures and artificial movements. They talk to one another for hours like that, but what beauty is there in it? What can they learn from one another? What we have is immoral behavior, artificial facial gestures, embarrassing expressions, answering back, and behavior that I call religion of ignorance, that is incompatible with morality love, affection and compassion. Instead of that, however, they could be broadcasting excellent statements emphasizing love and affection or very pleasant images. There are infinite number of delightful places in this world, so many lovely views, they could show documentaries or recount historical episodes, or discuss foreign countries or show cute kids or excellent people and talk about their moral virtues. That is the kind of thing we should be watching.
